Senior Member of Technical Staff - AI for Science
Generative · London Area, United Kingdom
Apply & track with Apply EdgeGenerative is thrilled to be partnering with an ambitious stealth AI biology company on a retained basis as they build out their founding technical team in London.The company is building towards what they describe as biological superintelligence — developing AI systems that can learn how human biology works, reason over complex biological data and accelerate scientific discovery.The team is developing biological foundation models trained on large-scale, proprietary multimodal human datasets, alongside AI agents and reinforcement learning systems capable of generating hypotheses, designing experiments, using scientific tools and improving through feedback.They have raised significant backing from leading Silicon Valley investors and are now scaling an exceptionally high-calibre technical team.🧬 The RoleAs a Senior Member of Technical Staff, you'll be one of the key technical contributors shaping the company's research direction and technical foundations.Depending on your background, you could work across:
- Biological foundation models
- Deep learning & generative modelling
- Reinforcement learning
- Agentic AI
- Multimodal ML
- Large-scale model training
- ML research & systemsThis is a highly hands-on role working closely with the founding team. You'll tackle difficult problems from first principles, design and run research programmes, and help establish the technical standards of an ambitious AI research organisation from the ground up.🔬 What We're Looking ForWe're interested in exceptional ML researchers and research engineers with genuine depth in areas such as:
- Deep learning & foundation models
- Generative modelling
- Reinforcement learning
- Multimodal AI
- Large-scale ML systems
- Agentic AI
- Scientific / biological MLExperience working with biological data is highly valuable — including single-cell, transcriptomics, proteomics, imaging, EHR, clinical trials or molecular data.However, exceptional researchers from adjacent frontier AI domains are equally relevant.We're particularly interested in people who combine research judgement, engineering depth and high agency — individuals who enjoy working on open-ended problems without a predefined roadmap.⚡ What You Can Expect
- £150,000–£250,000 base salary + significant equity
- London-based, 5 days per week in the office
- Significant compute and proprietary biomedical datasets
- Best-in-class research tooling and infrastructure
- Substantial equipment and conference budget
- Private medical & dental
- Flexible time off
- Regular team meals and a highly collaborative environment
- The opportunity to help shape an early-stage technical organisation from the ground upThis is an opportunity to work at the intersection of frontier AI and biology, alongside a small, highly technical team tackling some of the fundamental challenges involved in computationally modelling human biology.
