We work with frontier labs and pharma to measure whether agents can handle real biological workflows: the messy, multi-layer reasoning that matters in the field.\nWe’re seeking an AI Biologist to join our Aging & Longevity team to help accelerate the discoveries AI can make in aging biology.\nAbout the Role\nYou will use your scientific expertise to improve the ability of AI agents to reason like expert geroscientists. You will build tasks which evaluate aging-specific analysis capabilities and scientific taste. Your judgment will set the standard AI agents are evaluated against.\nIn this role, you will help accelerate research across the entire aging and longevity ecosystem.\nYou will work as part of a team of scientists and software engineers building benchmarks testing capabilities ranging from basic geroscience research to therapeutic discovery and development, including:\nDevelopment, application, and interpretation of biomarkers of aging, such as proteomic and epigenetic clocks\n\nDesign and analysis of experiments related to the Hallmarks of Aging, such as quantification of cellular senescence, identification of stem cell exhaustion, and measurement of genomic instability\n\nIntegration and analysis of diverse data modalities, such as transcriptomics, proteomics, DNA methylation, functional measurements, health records, and imaging data\n\nUse of high-throughput screening data to discover and prioritize candidate anti-aging drug targets\n\nRequirements\nAdvanced degree (MS/PhD) in biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, or a related field\n\nContribution to published research in aging biology or an adjacent field (cancer, epigenetics, immunology, etc.), such as a first-author paper, thesis, or independent project.\n\nDeep familiarity with AI coding tools\n\nAn ability to convey your thoughts clearly and precisely; i.e., strong scientific writing skills\n\nHigh agency and initiative\n\nDemonstrated track record of using R or Python to analyze scientific data\n\nDeep computational or experimental experience:\n\nComputational: applying machine learning, data analysis, or statistics to -omics data; methods development; statistical genetics\n\nExperimental: hands-on wet-lab experience performing experiments and assays relevant to aging research (e.g., sequencing library prep, studies involving model organisms, senescence assays, flow cytometry, cell or organoid culture, in vivo intervention studies)\n\nStrongly preferred\nIndustry experience in biotech, tech, or a similar field\n\nMultiple first-author publications\n\nFamiliarity with frequently used repositories of scientific data, such as: the UK Biobank, TCGA, GEO, ENCODE, etc.\n\nCulture @ Latch\nWe practice radical transparency: you’ll know how the company is doing, what’s working, and what isn’t. It’s always us against the problem, never each other. We’re opinionated but respectful of each other’s time, and we think through possible solutions before bringing a problem to anyone. We use AI constantly, so we reward original expert judgment, not AI output passed off as your own. You’ll start on the bench that fits your expertise and can move across teams as you build a track record.\nOutside of work: company outings most months, team off-sites, and a community that does cycling, soccer, figure skating, boxing, running, martial arts, music, books, and game nights.\nCompensation & Logistics\nPay: $140K-$180K OTE (on-target earnings), with no ceiling.\nYour pay is your OTE times your weekly quota attainment. Hit quota, earn your OTE; double it, earn double. Example: $150K OTE at double quota = $300K.\n\nYour first 4 weeks (ramp) are paid at full OTE while we train you.\n\nYou’re paid full OTE whenever quota can’t fairly apply: when a new project is starting, the platform goes down, or we pull you onto a special project.\n\nIn the US: full-time W-2\nGuaranteed base set by your state, paid every paycheck no matter what\n\nHealth, dental, vision: 100% covered for you, 50% for dependents\n\n401(k) (no match)\n\nPTO: 12 days to start, more as you’re promoted\n\nOutside the US: contractor\nPaid on performance, with a monthly advance of 60% of OTE that’s never clawed back. US benefits don’t apply.\n\nGrowth: two tracks, based on output, not tenure.\nIndividual contributor: six levels, so up to five promotions, with OTE rising at each one.\n\nManagement: after your first promotion, you can move into managing a pod if that’s what you want.\n\nLocation: fully remote is fine; onsite is preferred, at our Mission Bay waterfront office in SF with catered lunch and dinner and unlimited snacks.\nWork authorization: we sponsor H-1B (new and transfers), O-1, and TN, and support STEM OPT.\nInterview Process\nApply. If your profile matches, we’ll send you a take-home project.\n\nTake-home project (HackerRank). We review it as soon as it arrives.\n\nTechnical interview with a Member of Technical Staff (pod lead), scheduled right after your project review.\n\nCulture interview with our C-suite.\n\nOffer.\n\nBackground check, once you accept.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5117,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"San Francisco","iso":null,"kind":"city"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Bioinformatics","Scientific & Lab Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-10T10:27:44Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":6,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 5","filings_12m":5,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":112500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-12T07:36:15+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","Alion: sponsorship offered in the employer's own job adverts (24 months)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T10:38:37Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":180000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/latchbio-ai-biologist-longevity","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/latchbio-ai-biologist-longevity.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-14T02:43:54Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3769,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":171847},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=171847"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flatchbio-ai-biologist-longevity"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Flatchbio-ai-biologist-longevity"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Flatchbio-ai-biologist-longevity"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/latchbio-ai-biologist-longevity\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flatchbio-ai-biologist-longevity"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4011539}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"latch.bio","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4011539},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
