Research Scientist; AI - Sequence

Headquartered in Silicon Valley, we are a newly established start-up where a collective of visionary scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs are dedicated to transforming the landscape of biology and medicine through the power of generative AI. Our team comprises leading minds and innovators in AI and biological science, pushing the boundaries of what is possible. We are dreamers who reimagine a new paradigm for biology and medicine.

We are committed to decoding biology holistically and enabling the next generation of life-transforming solutions. As the first mover in pan-modal Large Biological Models (LBM), we are pioneering a new era of biomedicine, with our LBM training leading to ground-breaking advancements and a transformative approach to healthcare. Our robust R&D team and leadership in LLMs and generative AI position us at the forefront of this revolutionary field.

With headquarters in Silicon Valley, California, and a branch office in Paris and Abu Dhabi, we are poised to make a global impact. Join us as we embark on this journey to redefine the future of biology and medicine through the transformative power of Generative AI.

• Prior experience working at either a start-up or top research industry labs (e.g., OpenAI, FAIR, Deepmind, Google Research)
• Hands‑on prior experience working at the intersection of AI and Biology
• Experience in large‑scale distributed training and inference, ML on accelerators

• Experience with genomics, transcriptomics, or proteomics data, particularly functional assays (e.g. ATAC, CAGE, Hi‑C, …)
• Experience with complex data types, including multi‑omics and health data (EHRs).
• Familiarity with public data repositories (NCBI, ENSEMBL, ENCODE, TCGA, UK Biobank) and experience curating datasets to answer specific scientific questions.
• Experience with methods development for afore‑mentioned data types
• Experience with multimodal or multiscale models (even in other domains, e.g. remote sensing, medical imaging).
• Deep knowledge of one or more of the following: transformers, convolutional networks, discrete diffusion models, self‑supervised learning, and co‑embedding approaches.
