Who Are We At Latent Labs, we are building frontier models that learn the fundamentals of biology. We pursue ambitious goals with curiosity and are committed to scientific excellence. Before building Latent Labs, our team co-developed DeepMind’s Nobel-prize winning AlphaFold, invented latent diffusion, and built pioneering lab data management systems as well as high throughput protein screening platforms. At Latent Labs you will be working with some of the brightest minds in generative AI and biology.

Our team is committed to interdisciplinary exchange, continuous learning and collaboration. Team offsites help us foster a culture of trust across our London and San Francisco sites.

We’re looking for innovators passionate about tackling complex challenges and maximizing positive global impact. Join us on our moonshot mission.

The Role We are seeking a Scientist to join our team working at the interface of generative AI and biology. The ideal candidate is experienced in molecular biology, biochemistry, mammalian cell culture, and high-throughput screening methods. You will work both collaboratively and independently with teammates to develop and execute screening assays to functionally test and characterize novel proteins designed using our proprietary models.

This is an opportunity to help shape and grow an organization that advances artificial intelligence and applies it to longstanding scientific challenges. This role requires strong technical capability, adaptability, organizational and communication skills, as well as ability to work independently and collaboratively in a dynamic team-oriented environment.

Who You Are:

What Sets You Apart (preferred but not required):

• You’ve worked in a young biotech before. You have worked in startups and helped the company set up new workflows and processes.
• You have experience with developing and testing antibodies or nanobodies.
• You have experience with GitHub.

Your Responsibilities:

Apply We offer strongly competitive compensation and benefits packages, including:

• Private health insurance
• Pension/401(K) contributions
• Generous leave policies (including gender neutral parental leave)
• Hybrid working
• Travel opportunities and more

We also offer a stimulating work environment, and the opportunity to shape the future of synthetic biology through the application of breakthrough generative models.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and we are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills.
