This co-op has two focus tracks. Candidates may be matched to one or both based on interest and fit: Track 1 - Data Platform: Build pipelines and services that structure scientific knowledge (literature, patents, lab data) into signals that power Lila's AI models and applications. Track 2 - Agentic SSR (AI and Server-Side Rendering): Build the server-rendered, agentic layer of the Lila Platform - the infrastructure that enables AI agents to compose and serve dynamic scientific interfaces at runtime. In either track, you will ship production code, work alongside research scientists and ML engineers, and contribute to a platform that runs real scientific experiments.
