What we do
Immune-mediated diseases affect hundreds of millions of people world-wide, but less than 12% of new drugs reach approval, largely due to insufficient pre-clinical understanding of the complex underlying disease biology.
You will be joining a stealth techbio therapeutics company aimed at disrupting drug discovery in the immunology space – by precisely understanding disease biology through iterative, causal discovery starting from realistic primary patient models. Our founders have authored several landmark publications in the precision medicine space, previously exited a precision medicine startup, and built a unique translational research program in a large pharmatech drug discovery company. As natives of both tech and bio spaces we deeply appreciate the unique irreducible challenges that come with both.
Consider joining us if you want to co-create innovative tech that addresses a critical unsolved problem at the root of drug discovery: effectively exploring the causal mechanisms of disease through more realistic models prior to designing therapeutics.
Your role
* Help us build a unique lab-in-the-loop AI discovery system for immunology from the ground up, influencing strategic and technical direction.
* Work with multi-modal biological data, including high-content microscopy and single cell sequencing perturbation data, to drive mechanistic understanding of disease and target discovery.
* Be part of a flat cross-functional team that deeply appreciates the challenges of each domain and is determined to make a dent.
* Grow into a scientific leadership role as the company evolves.
Your profile
* Experienced ML scientist/engineer, computational biologist, or similar - prior experience applying AI in the life sciences is a plus.
* Deeply familiar with causal inference methods, handling complex multimodal datasets, foundation model approaches and/or reinforcement learning, as well as best practices for deployment.
* Systems thinker with a proven track record of translating research into practice.
What we offer
* The opportunity to be part of a pioneering, highly collaborative team with a purpose.
* Healthy participatory culture from the beginning: you will significantly shape company decisions, culture, and strategy.
* A compensation package including salary, benefits, and an early equity stake with substantial long-term upside.
This is optionally a hybrid/remote position with occasional on-sites that we decide on together. The base of operations will be in the Berlin area.
About us
We are an equal-opportunity employer and value diversity. We consider all applications equally regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or gender identity. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply, and we can help with immigration.
