Computational and Experimental Scientist

ABOUT THE ROLE This role owns the full design-make-test-model loop at an early-stage AI-driven protein and peptide engineering company: you will run and improve pocket-conditioned discrete diffusion models for sequence design and personally execute the binding kinetics that close the loop. You will sit on a lean core team reporting directly to the CEO, making this one of the highest-leverage scientific roles at the company. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Improve and extend proprietary diffusion and companion folding models with architectural refinements, new attention heads, and hierarchical reasoning. - Operate an ML inference platform at scale and diagnose usage patterns across signups, churn, and customer segments. - Own fluid-handling robotics and plate automation (Hamilton, Tecan, Opentrons, or equivalent) and ship reliable, production-ready protocols. - Own BLI and SPR end-to-end: assay design, immobilization, regeneration, referencing, dilution series, kinetic fitting, QC, and failure-mode diagnosis. - Write detailed cloud-lab protocols and manage internal screening instrumentation. - Work the full stack from receptor biology and protein structure through scoring functions to platform out...
