About the role

What You'd Own

- The platform, end to end — from the models that propose the next experiment to the interface a scientist trusts more than their notebook. - The experiment-selection engine: small-data models whose uncertainty drives real lab spending. - The bar. You're early enough that “how we build here” is still being written. You'll write a lot of it.

Signals You'll Thrive Here

- You've shipped systems other people depend on — and felt the weight of that. - You're fluent across the stack and allergic to unnecessary abstraction. - Small data and expensive errors interest you more than another CRUD app at planetary scale. - You operate with extremely high agency — you find the work, you don't wait for it. - You're AI-native, and you also think from first principles about problems that have no benchmark and no playbook.
