We approach this by understanding and improving AI's application to biology use cases such as therapeutics and biosecurity. We are a group of engineers, scientists, and operations specialists who are driven by improving capabilities and interpretability. Some of our work is showcased on benchmarks.bio\nWhat you'll do.\nYou will be working on problems including agent infrastructure and orchestration, ML infrastructure, model benchmarking at scale, full stack web development, developer and user experience, and process optimization. Infrastructure challenges span container orchestration, sandboxing, distributed filesystems, cloud architecture, and database systems.\n\nYour particular area of ownership will be developer experience and ops. You should expect this to take up less than 50% of your engineering time to start but be an area of passion and focus for you. You should be a strong overall engineer who has a knack for improving the productivity of those around you through tools and systems, particularly ones that tradeoff LLM tokens to get human time back.\n\nWhat you bring.\nAI-native engineer. You use AI coding agents every day and have built tooling, workflows, or integrations that made them more effective for a whole team, not just yourself.\n\nStrong software engineering. 3+ years writing production code in Python, Go, or TypeScript. You can get productive in an unfamiliar codebase fast.\n\nDeveloper tools builder. You’ve built internal tools or developer-experience improvements that other engineers actually adopted.\n\nDevOps fluency. Hands-on experience with CI/CD, AWS or GCP, Docker, and infrastructure-as-code. You don’t need to be a career SRE, but you can own the pipeline.\n\nTeacher and evangelist. You can show engineers a better way to work and get them to adopt it through demos, docs, and pairing rather than mandates.\n\nHow we work. This position is based in our San Francisco office; you'll work closely with science, partnerships, ops, and engineering. We have two key meetings each week, plus ad hoc ones as needed. The work is busy, and the schedule is flexible. We don't track when you're online, and PTO is unlimited. What matters is that projects ship well and on time, or early.\nCulture. We believe in 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, and we bring solutions along with the problems. Come in at the time that works for you; just let the team know via slack if you'll be later than usual. We keep meetings to a minimum and judge people on innovation and output, not hours. Outside of work, we have company outings most months, team off-sites, latch run club, cycling, boxing, ice skating, and playing soccer together; feel free to add to the list.\nBenefits\nBase Salary ($170k- $250k)\n\nPerformance Bonus\n\nGreat Equity\n\nUnlimited PTO\n\nEvery lunch and dinner is paid for\n\n100% premium covered on Cigna's platinum health plan ($0 premium, $0 deductible) and 50% premium coverage for dependents. 100% coverage for top-tier Guardian dental and vision plans\n\nWe sponsor most work visas\n\nRelocation Assistance\n\n401(k) Plan\n\nCompany-Sponsored professional development\n\nWho you'll work with most\nFounders: Alfredo, Kyle, Kenny\n\nChief Product Officer: Hannah\n\nOperations: Jordan, Daniel, Saul, Andy, Charles, Jesse, Camila\n\nMTS: Zhen, Harmon, Chris, Dillon, Martin, Ramesh, Ian, Evan, John\n\nScientists across Latch\n\nLearn more about us\nAbout Us · Website · Twitter · Blog\n\nHow to apply\nOur process moves quickly.\nRound 0 - Apply\n\nRound 1 - Technical Interview with Head of Engineering\n\nRound 2 - Take home Technical Assessment\n\nRound 3 - On-site work-trial with Latch Team (2-3 days)\n\nOffer","description_format":"text","description_chars":3868,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Professional development","Relocation assistance","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Bioinformatics","Scientific & Lab Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-13T21:08:33Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"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":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/latchbio-infrastructure-software-engineer-ai-enablement","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/latchbio-infrastructure-software-engineer-ai-enablement.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T09:10:00Z","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":13907,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"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-infrastructure-software-engineer-ai-enablement"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"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-infrastructure-software-engineer-ai-enablement"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"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-infrastructure-software-engineer-ai-enablement"},{"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-infrastructure-software-engineer-ai-enablement\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flatchbio-infrastructure-software-engineer-ai-enablement"}]}
