# Computational and Experimental Scientist

About the Role Join a lean team at an early-stage AI-driven biotech company, combining computational protein design with hands-on experimental work. You will own the design-make-test-model loop, from developing protein design models and operating an inference platform to measuring binding kinetics and feeding results back into improved designs. What You'll Do Improve and extend discrete diffusion and protein folding models, including model architecture, attention, and hierarchical reasoning. Operate and refine a biological design inference platform, analyzing usage patterns and diagnosing user behavior. Write, debug, and operate production protocols for liquid-handling robots and plate automation. Design and run BLI and SPR assays, fit kinetic curves, conduct quality control, and troubleshoot experimental failure modes. Develop robust protocols for cloud labs and manage internal screening instrumentation. Connect receptor biology, protein structure, scoring, and model outputs to practical experimental workflows. Design sequences, measure their kinetics, use results to update models, and iterate toward improved candidates. What We're Looking For 3 to 11 years of relevant expe
