About us
Biology is going through a revolution. Exponentially increasing data generation, laboratory automation and new AI / ML techniques are reorganizing the industry around computation. At Latch, we've spent the last four years building data infrastructure to store, visualize and analyze the deluge of data in this new era of engineering biology. 10K+ scientists and 7 / 10 top market cap pharmaceutical companies rely on our product to make medicines.
In the past few months, agentic systems that allow scientists to process their own data with natural language requests - from raw machine outputs to publication ready plots - are actually starting to work. We believe this will soon be the standard way biologists interact with data. But numerous engineering and scientific challenges await in building AI tools that are well scoped, reliable and produce economically valuable work in this domain.
Our tiny team (13 as of July 18th, 2025) has over four years built and sold a large amount of genuinely useful, interesting tech to a difficult market which is skeptical of newcomers. Our customers have a broad range of product expectations, require close collaboration and nuanced communication, include both technical and non-technical users, and routinely execute computational tasks involving multiple terabytes of data. We're beyond excited to add an agentic layer to the existing BD + product machine that already achieved 4.5x YoY growth to date.
About the role
Here are the ideal skill categories :
- Understanding of biology : details of new measurement tech (spatial, single cell) and intuition for appropriate scientific results
- Engineering ability : high quality code, ‘doing things well’
- Product intuition : distill user data into sensible requirements; good intuition for scientist usability
- LLM engineering : understanding of where the 'levers' are with these systems to improve performance; well read on latest practical techniques
Here is a sample of the sort of tech you and your agents (as tools) will interact with :
