- Expertise with cloud computing, particularly Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- Proficiency with best practices using large language models (LLMs) and agentic AI tools to assist in code generation and modeling
- Experience analyzing large experimental datasets and making scientifically defensible decisions about data quality, statistical methods, and interpretation
- Thorough understanding of concepts from biology, chemistry, and physics that govern molecular properties and interactions
- Familiarity with the state of the art in antibody engineering, protein engineering, synthetic biology, or other high-throughput biology environments with particular emphasis on the relationship between sequence, structure, and function
In 2018, A-Alpha Bio spun out of the University of Washington’s Institute for Protein Design and Center for Synthetic Biology – both communities filled with brilliant and highly entrepreneurial scientists. Since the company’s inception, we have built and scaled AlphaSeq, our high-throughput platform for quantitatively measuring protein-protein interactions at unprecedented scale. What began as a technology for generating large, standardized affinity datasets has grown into a broader data engine for AI-driven protein engineering.
New members of the team should expect a fast-paced, highly dynamic, and interdisciplinary work environment. We are building a diverse, meritocratic, and supportive team that shares our values of speaking the truth, shooting for the moon, taking the reins, playing for the team, and improving the world.
A-Alpha Bio is headquartered in a custom designed lab and office space in downtown Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. We are fortunate to be situated in a region that is renowned for its premier outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, climbing, skiing, kayaking, sailing, and more. At A-Alpha, you’ll find many who love the outdoors, but also gamers, amateur chefs, explorers, sports fans, bakers, crafters, photographers, brewers, jetsetters, animal lovers, and artists. Whatever your passions, you belong at A-Alpha Bio!
