AI/ML Engineer

To Apply:  We want to let you know up front that we use Scismic to help us pre-screen and qualify candidates.  To apply, we are asking you to complete a profile on Scismic.com to help us determine your fit for this role.  Start that process here.

Company Overview:

We are not your typical biotech company. We genetically engineer animals. We’re combining rigorous science with a rebellious spirit, and we’re looking for a AI/ML Engineer who gets that!


 

The Role:

We're looking for an engineer who can build tools, databases, and ML models to help us understand and manipulate developmental biology. This is an applied role, your work will directly impact experiments happening in our lab. You'll be designing software systems that track and analyze developmental stages, gene expression, embryo morphology, and phenotypes over time. Bonus points if you can help us interface with lab hardware or build toward automated analysis pipelines.


 

What You'll Do:

• Develop and maintain internal databases for biological data (imaging, metadata, genotypes, phenotypes)
• Build or integrate computer vision models to track embryo and organism development
• Use ML/Al to analyze complex biological datasets (gene expression timelines, phenotypic variation, etc.)
• Work closely with wet-lab scientists to design tools that are actually usable and valuable at the bench
• Contribute to the automation and scaling of our experimental pipeline
• Help build a codebase that doesn't suck

Who You Are:

• Strong background in CS, Al/ML, bioinformatics, or a related field
• PhD preferred but not required
• Experience working with biological or scientific data (genomics, imaging, time-series, etc.)
• Experience with computer vision, image segmentation, or microscopy data pipelines is a big plus
• Bonus points for experience with lab robotics, electrical engineering, or building weird tools in your garage
• Comfortable building things from scratch, not afraid of ambiguity, and okay with being the only one in the room who knows what a ResNet is

Why Join Us?

Because you want to be part of something that actually matters. You’re tired of safe, incremental science. You want to build the future, challenge the norms, and take real risks—while taking impeccable care of the animals that make it all possible.
