Research shows that while men apply to jobs where they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other underrepresented people tend to only apply when they meet 100% of the qualifications. At MantleBio, we welcome diverse perspectives and people who think rigorously and aren't afraid to challenge the status quo. If you’re interested in joining us, then we encourage you to apply, even if you don’t perfectly match every single bullet on the job description. We promise to review your application .

If you have any questions, please email We are excited to hear from you.

At MantleBio, our mission is to help people live longer, healthier lives by advancing software for life science research.

Biotech generates a tremendous amount of data and is estimated to have the largest volume of data of any industry by 2025. Recent breakthroughs in computer science and machine learning have the opportunity to profoundly impact scientific research. However, the majority of biotech companies lack the tools or software team necessary to fully utilize these advances and the data they have.

Our goal is to bridge the gap between biological data and cutting-edge technology by building modern data engineering software for the biotech industry.

MantleBio was founded in 2023 and is rapidly growing. The founding team has significant experience building large-scale data infrastructure for biotech from GRAIL, ArsenalBio, the Broad Institute, and Google. MantleBio is backed by Y-Combinator, has recently raised a seed round, and has significant runway.

We are seeking a driven computational biologist who thrives in fast-paced environments to join our team.
