Latent Labs, San Francisco
We are seeking hands-on Scientists and a Sr. Scientist to join our team at the interface of generative AI and biology. Our models design novel proteins, and our experimental team develops and runs assays to characterize their properties and functions, identify strengths and failure modes, and guide subsequent model development.
For both roles, you will develop and execute high-throughput assays, drawing on a strong foundation in molecular biology, mammalian cell culture, and experimental design. We are looking for an adaptable scientist who selects methods based on the scientific question, brings depth in at least one relevant technical area, and enjoys learning new approaches. You will work closely with other experimental scientists, ML researchers, automation colleagues, and technical expert consultants to establish reliable workflows and generate high-quality, interpretable data.
The opportunity to work at the frontier of AI and computational biology, alongside a team that has already delivered Nobel Prize–caliber science, on a mission to transform biology into an engineering discipline.
We hold every contribution, computational or experimental, to the same exacting bar, and push the boundaries to deliver at exceptional pace. Beyond our competitive compensation, equity and benefits, we are expanding rapidly so there are many opportunities for significant ownership and impact across all roles.
For decades, drug discovery has relied on screening millions of molecules and hoping one works. Latent Labs is building the engineering alternative: frontier AI models that design medicines computationally, directly from first principles.
Since founding in 2023, we've released four products already accelerating research from pain relief to cancer therapy, most recently Latent-Y, the first lab-validated agent for drug design. Several of our team led foundational work behind Google DeepMind's AlphaFold, so we’re working at that level of research and beyond, backed by Radical Ventures and Sofinnova Partners.
For the Sr. Scientist role, on top of the scientist requirements, qualified applicants will have experience mentoring others in professional and technical context; additional years of industry experience; and experience managing complex projects with CROs, with full ownership including understanding SOWs, negotiating contracts, and troubleshooting.
