Key Responsibilities

  • •Prototype quickly and ship continuously, building high-leverage products that become part of scientists' daily workflow and refining them from lab and customer feedback.
  • •Build agentic products and interfaces on top of frontier models and scientific data, including copilots, experiment planning systems, workflow automation, and new interaction patterns beyond chat.
  • •Design how scientists direct, supervise, and collaborate with AI agents across experiment planning, execution, analysis, and decision-making.
  • •Work with model researchers to shape product behavior, telemetry, and feedback loops that improve both product experience and underlying models.
  • •Own the product end-to-end, from data model and backend systems to APIs, user experience, deployment, and observability.

Key Requirements

  • •Experience building product interfaces that sit between machine learning models, data sources, lab systems, and end users to enable scientific workflows.
  • •Ability to design end-to-end product experiences, including data models, backend systems, APIs, and user interfaces.
  • •Collaborate closely with model researchers to shape product behavior, telemetry, evaluation signals, and feedback loops.
  • •Prototype quickly and ship continuously to deliver high-leverage products used in scientists' daily workflow.
