Responsibilities
Define the Architecture for Autonomy: Partner with engineering leadership to scope and build the systems that connect our in silico models (the "brain") with our physical automated labs (the "body"), enabling closed-loop, autonomous discovery
Drive Hypothesis-Driven Product Development: Lead cycles of experimentation to test different agentic frameworks. You will embrace ambiguity, helping the team decide when to build durable shared services and when to build rapid, throw-away prototypes to learn what works
Operate as a Translator: Bridge the gap between "wet lab" realities and "dry lab" possibilities. You will translate the needs of drug discovery programs into technical requirements for agent reasoning, ensuring our systems optimize for information gain rather than just volume
Evangelize the "Human-in-the-loop" Evolution: Work with scientific stakeholders to define interfaces where humans review, validate, and shape agent reasoning, ensuring our scientists evolve from "operators" to "architects" of discovery
Qualification
Required
5+ years of product management experience, with a focus on platform, infrastructure, or AI/ML products where the technical solution was not immediately obvious

The ability to visualize complex ecosystems
Strong written and oral skills to align diverse stakeholders (PhDs in Biology, Robotics Engineers, AI Researchers) around a unified technical vision
