The team's ambitious goal is to significantly accelerate scientific progress across research and development, aiming to make Claude an indispensable tool for the entire life sciences ecosystem. This involves building the necessary technical infrastructure to support its integration from early academic discovery to biotech innovation and pharmaceutical pipeline reimagining. The role involves close collaboration with leading research partners, embedding within their scientific workflows, and prototyping AI agents that integrate into real research pipelines. Additionally, you will develop ecosystem-level tooling, such as MCP servers, benchmarks, and reusable agent skills, to broaden Claude's utility across the life sciences community.
Responsibilities
- Partner deeply with life sciences research institutions to understand scientific workflows, build with their engineering teams, and transition projects from exploration to production systems.
- Develop reusable ecosystem infrastructure, including MCP servers for domain-specific data, instruments, benchmarks, and agent skills for broader adoption.
- Identify and communicate challenges in deploying AI in life sciences to product, engineering, and research teams.
- Create technical content and documentation to enable partners to self-serve and scale solutions globally.
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience as a Software Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, or technical founder with production experience.
- Deep research experience in life sciences, biomedical research, or scientific computing, with a preference for genomics, neuroscience, or drug discovery.
- Experience building LLM-powered tools or applications, including prompting, context engineering, agent architectures, and evaluation frameworks.
- Proven builder credibility from shipping production code.
- A scrappy mentality, comfortable with ambiguity and building from scratch.
