Computational Biologist

The Role

Join our team and help build the world's first biological reasoning model. Work with us to build generative foundational models that decode biological systems across scales - from molecules to organisms - enabling us to predict, understand, and program living systems in ways never before possible.

Output is currently in stealth, operated by a team of repeat founders and biotech veterans with multiple exits in AI x Bio, and backed by top-tier VCs including Y Combinator.

As a Computational Biologist, you'll work alongside members of our research team and our founders to develop AI systems capable of complex biological reasoning across multiple scales.

• You will analyze the biological reasoning capabilities of our AI models
• You will design, create and investigate biological tasks to evaluate our foundational model
• You will analyze and integrate large-scale biological datasets using cutting-edge computational techniques
• You will develop and optimize data processing pipelines to support our AI modeling efforts
• You will collaborate with our multidisciplinary team to integrate bioinformatics approaches into our AI platform
• You will contribute to the improvement of our biological data management systems
• Your work will directly impact the development of our biologically-aware AI platform, transforming the landscape of medicine
  
  

Make a real tangible impact on millions of lives by pushing the boundaries of AI in biology.
