## Description

We're looking for an Applied AI Engineer to join our Beneficial Deployments team, focused on maximizing the impact of Claude in the life sciences.

Our goal is ambitious: accelerate scientific progress from R&D through translation by an order of magnitude.

You'll work directly with flagship research partners like Howard Hughes Medical Institute and The Allen Institute, embedded in their scientific workflows.

Responsibilities:

- Partner deeply with flagship life sciences research institutions , understand their scientific workflows end-to-end, build hands-on with their engineering teams, and help take projects from early exploration to production systems integrated into how they do science day-to-day.

- Develop reusable ecosystem infrastructure, like MCP servers for domain-specific data sources, instruments, scientifically-grounded benchmarks, and agent skills that other institutions can adopt without starting from scratch.

- Identify what's actually hard about deploying AI in life sciences and feed those findings back to product, engineering, and research.

- Create technical content and documentation that lets partners self-serve, so what works for one institution can scale globally without the same level of hand-holding.

You Might Be a Good Fit If You Have:

- 4+ years as a Software Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, or technical founder , with production experience shipping systems that real users depend on.

- Deep research experience in life sciences, biomedical research, or scientific computing.

- Experience building LLM-powered tools or applications: prompting, context engineering, agent architectures, evaluation frameworks.

- Builder credibility from shipping production code as a software engineer, forward-deployed engineer, or technical founder.

- A scrappy mentality–comfortable wearing multiple hats, building from scratch, driving clarity in ambiguous situations, and doing whatever it takes to further the mission.

The annual compensation range for this role is $280,000-$320,000 USD.
