📋 Description

• Shape the future of AI-powered scientific research by building backend systems and full-stack product experiences across Prism and Codex • Develop AI-native workflows for paper writing, literature review, paper understanding, research synthesis, and scientific knowledge exploration, designing systems that can work across complex technical content, heterogeneous sources, and evolving research questions. • Partner closely with researchers and domain experts across biology and adjacent scientific disciplines to understand real research workflows, identify high-leverage opportunities for AI, and translate ambiguous scientific needs into useful, trustworthy product capabilities. • Build AI-powered tools for scientific data analysis and simulation, helping researchers explore complex datasets, design and run computational experiments, interpret results, and iterate on models or hypotheses more efficiently. • Help establish the product, platform, and engineering foundations for fast-moving 0 → 1 efforts across the Core Science organization, balancing rapid experimentation with the rigor, reliability, and quality required for tools used in research.

🎯 Requirements

• Have strong backend or full-stack engineering fundamentals and experience taking complex product ideas from prototype to reliable production systems, with attention to performance, usability, and maintainability. • Are comfortable building in highly ambiguous 0 → 1 environments, where customer needs, product direction, technical architecture, and model capabilities are evolving quickly. • Are excited about applying AI systems to consequential real-world scientific problems, and care about building tools that improve how researchers reason, analyze evidence, collaborate, and make discoveries. • Have experience building scalable distributed systems, developer platforms, data-intensive applications, retrieval or knowledge systems, workflow tools, or model-powered product experiences. • Care deeply about product quality, iteration speed, and user impact, and can use feedback from researchers and domain experts to rapidly improve systems while maintaining scientific and technical trustworthiness. • Are curious about scientific workflows and domains such as computational biology, biology, chemistry, biomedical research, scientific literature, or research tooling, and are motivated to learn from experts in these areas. • Communicate clearly across engineering, research, product, and domain-specialist audiences, and enjoy turning complex, underspecified problems into opinionated systems that researchers can depend on.

🏖️ Benefits
