  • Ability to think strategically about connecting the computational and experimental engineering teams' work with an eye on end user & product use case
  • The ideal candidate will have engineering experience within the biotech industry (i.e. using genomic/clinical data to develop predictive therapeutics, looking at sequencing data, using AI to predict drug targets, or building predictive platforms or tools to support research and drug development)
  • Experience taking a product from concept to market
  • Understanding of both computational and lab experimental tools
  • Understanding of biology so they can map tools to scientific decision making process in biological research
  • Experience taking a scientific/research idea through the product life cycle, from concept to market
  • An experienced people manager; able to meet people where they are in their learning journey


The position will require the individual to be on-site at the Berkeley, California headquarters.
