Member of Technical Staff - Computational Biology

About Phylo Phylo is an applied research lab building agentic intelligence to accelerate discovery for every biomedical scientist. We believe AI agents will fundamentally transform how biomedical research is done. Our fast-growing team brings together researchers and engineers across AI and biology. About the role We're hiring a computational biologist with industry experience to partner closely with our enterprise customers and raise the scientific bar of our agents. You'll work directly with biotech and pharma teams adopting Biomni Lab, translate their workflows into agent capabilities, and make sure outputs hold up under real scientific scrutiny. Part of the role is constructing the bio skills our agents rely on: building and curating the biomedical workflows, tools, and data integrations that power them. The other part is evaluating agent performance by designing evaluation pipelines and benchmarks that measure whether agents meet the standards of working scientists. What You'll Work On - Partner with enterprise customers in biotech and pharma to understand their scientific workflows and bring those needs into the product. - Construct bio skills for our agents: build and curate biomedical workflows, tools, databases, and data integrations that expand what agents can do. - Evaluate agent performance across biomedical domains through internal benchmarks, structured evals, and direct scientific review. - Validate the scientific accuracy and rigor of agent outputs and drive improvements back into the product with the AI team. - Serve as the scientific voice in customer engagements, deployments, and feedback loops. Requirements - Industry experience in biotech or pharma (computational biology, bioinformatics, or a closely related function). - PhD training as a computational biologist, with strong command of common biomedical tools, databases, and analytical workflows. - Solid engineering skills: writing code, building pipelines, and working with biological data at scale. - Comfort working directly with enterprise customers and translating their scientific needs into technical requirements. - Ability to move quickly in a fast-paced research and product environment. Nice to Have - AI-native working style; fluent with modern AI coding tools and agent-based workflows. - Experience with LLMs, agents, or AI/ML systems applied to biomedical problems. - Broad experience across multiple biomedical domains (e.g., genomics, proteomics, drug discovery, clinical data). Why Join Us? - Competitive salary and equity share in building the future of biomedical discovery - Full medical, dental, and vision coverage, including free therapy sessions and eyewear stipend - 401(k) to help you build long-term financial security (US only) - Unlimited PTO to recharge when you need it (US only) - Lunch and snacks when you're in the office - Regular team offsites and company events - A culture of excellence and speed - we move fast, think big, and support each other every step of the way - Your work will directly impact our mission to 100X biomedical discoveries through AI
