# Research Scientist

About Latent Labs For decades, drug discovery has relied on screening millions of molecules and hoping one works. Latent Labs is building the engineering alternative: frontier AI models that design medicines computationally, directly from first principles. Since founding in 2023, we've released four products already accelerating research from pain relief to cancer therapy, most recently Latent-Y, the first lab-validated agent for drug design. Several of our team led foundational work behind Google DeepMind's AlphaFold, so we’re working at that level of research and beyond, backed by Radical Ventures and Sofinnova Partners. The Opportunity We are seeking hands-on Scientists and a Sr. Scientist to join our team at the interface of generative AI and biology. Our models design novel proteins, and our experimental team develops and runs assays to characterize their properties and functions, identify strengths and failure modes, and guide subsequent model development. For both roles, you will develop and execute high-throughput assays, drawing on a strong foundation in molecular biology, mammalian cell culture, and experimental design. We are looking for an adaptable scientist who select
