About Astera

Astera is a private foundation on a mission to steer science and technology toward an abundant future. We believe the coming years will bring an era of unprecedented scientific and technological advancement as exponential progress in AI converges with central advances in other fields to dramatically accelerate innovation. This inflection point provides an unparalleled opportunity to fundamentally rethink the institutions, systems, and tools that drive scientific progress.  

Unlike traditional non-profit research organizations, projects supported by Astera operate like high-velocity startups, allowing us to focus on ambitious goals, match structure to problem, and attract strong technical talent and leadership. You can read more about our mission, vision, and programming at astera.org/vision.  

Position Summary

Today's frontier biological AI models are trained almost entirely on static, pre-existing data. They are powerful pattern matchers, but lack feedback from real biology.

Polytope Bio is a residency project at Astera that is building the missing piece: a post-training engine that closes the loop between frontier AI models and high-throughput biology. Our work will power new applications in generative biology by aligning frontier AI models directly to experimental measurements of what actually folds, binds, and functions.

We are looking for a Principal AI Scientist to help launch our AI research program. You will be joining at the point of maximum leverage: early enough to shape the scientific direction, the modeling approaches, and the training strategy. The project is resourced with significant compute, financial runway, and the ability to generate large-scale prospective biological datasets. The researcher in this role will work hands-on to develop and publish new reinforcement learning methods and bio AI models leveraging datasets created by our unique high-throughput biology platform.

Longer-term, we are seeking a candidate who is driven by the prospect of growing their leadership of the AI research program. While our immediate focus is on collaborative research strategy and execution, the candidate will have the potential to develop into a co-founding leadership position in the event of a successful spinout.

Responsibilities:

  • Co-direct the research program: Partner directly with the founder to shape the scientific vision, research direction, and technical execution.
  • Develop RL feedback loop: Design, implement, and improve model post-training methods that translate high-throughput biological measurements into direct reward signals for biological language models.
  • Hands-on engineering: You will work directly with the technical founder to architect model training infrastructure and build, run, and debug models, training loops, and evaluation metrics.
  • Bridge wet/dry lab: Partner with the experimental team to ensure that what we measure in the lab and what the models learn are designed as a single, cohesive system.

Qualifications and Experience

  • Research Experience: PhD in machine learning, computational biology, or a related field with a minimum of 2 to 5 years of industry research experience post-PhD (accomplished researchers without a PhD are also encouraged to apply).
  • Model Training: You have trained models from scratch, not just fine-tuned or called APIs. You have owned real training runs, know where they break, and know how to debug them.
  • Modern Algorithms: Hands-on experience with generative diffusion models and/or transformer architectures.
  • Reinforcement Learning: Deep familiarity with modern reinforcement learning and preference-optimization methods for deep learning.
  • Builder mindset: A track record of strong research via publications, open-source work, shipped models, or equivalent evidence that you drive results. You are highly self-directed but thrive in a tight-knit, collaborative founding partnership.
  • Entrepreneurial spirit: Comfort operating with ambiguity and research ownership. You are excited to build the infrastructure and grow the team.

Strong Pluses

  • Familiarity with biological research (protein modeling, sequence models, structural biology, or adjacent areas).
  • Experience building and scaling training infrastructure on large GPU clusters.
  • Past team management and technical leadership experience.

Location

Preference for candidates able to co-locate in NYC or SF Bay Area. Remote work is possible for the right candidate.

What we offer

  • Compensation: Base salary of $250,000 to $350,000 during the residency.
  • Upside: The potential for a co-founding leadership role in a future spinout, contingent on project success and mutual fit.
  • Scientific Impact: Authorship of high-impact open-source datasets, methods, and models.
  • Resources: Significant secured runway and dedicated GPU resources.
  • Unique Environment: A rare combination of frontier ML work directly coupled to a purpose-built, high-throughput experimental engine.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Full benefits package including health insurance, a company sponsored retirement plan, vision, dental, and more.

Scientists ask questions in natural language, and Mithrl answers with real analysis, novel targets, and patent-ready reports.  

Our traction speaks for itself:

  • 12X year-over-year revenue growth
  • Trusted by leading biotechs and big pharma across three continents
  • Driving real breakthroughs from target discovery to patient outcomes.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

  • Build and own an AI-powered ingestion & normalization pipeline to import data from a wide variety of sources — unprocessed Excel/CSV uploads, lab and instrument exports, as well as processed data from internal pipelines.
  • Develop robust schema mapping, coercion, and conversion logic (think: units normalization, metadata standardization, variable-name harmonization, vendor-instrument quirks, plate-reader formats, reference-genome or annotation updates, batch-effect correction, etc.).
  • Use LLM-driven and classical data-engineering tools to structure “semi-structured” or messy tabular data — extracting metadata, inferring column roles/types, cleaning free-text headers, fixing inconsistencies, and preparing final clean datasets.
  • Ensure all single-execution transformations (normalization, coercion, batch-correction) execute during ingestion — so downstream analytics / the AI “Co-Scientist” always works with clean, canonical data.
  • Build validation, verification, and quality-control layers to catch ambiguous, inconsistent, or corrupt data before it enters the platform.
  • Collaborate across teams with product, data science / bioinformatics colleagues, and infrastructure engineers to define and enforce data standards, ensuring pipeline outputs integrate cleanly into downstream analysis and storage systems.

WHAT YOU BRING

Must-have

  • 5+ years of experience in data engineering / data wrangling with real-world tabular or semi-structured data.
  • Strong fluency in Python, and data processing tools (Pandas, Polars, PyArrow, or similar).
  • Excellent experience dealing with messy Excel / CSV / spreadsheet-style data — inconsistent headers, multiple sheets, mixed formats, free-text fields — and normalizing it into clean structures.
  • Comfort designing and maintaining robust ETL/ELT pipelines, ideally for scientific or lab-derived data.
  • Ability to combine classical data engineering with LLM-powered data normalization / metadata extraction / cleaning.
  • Strong desire and ability to own the ingestion & normalization layer end-to-end — from raw upload to final clean dataset — with an eye for maintainability, reproducibility, and scalability.
  • Good communication skills; able to collaborate across teams (product, bioinformatics, infra) and translate real-world messy data problems into robust engineering solutions.

Nice-to-have

  • Familiarity with scientific data types and “modalities” (e.g. plate-readers, genomics metadata, time-series, batch-info, instrumentation outputs).
  • Experience with workflow orchestration tools (e.g. Nextflow, Prefect, Airflow, Dagster), or building pipeline abstractions.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure and data storage (AWS S3, data lakes/warehouses, database schemas) to support multi-tenant ingestion.
  • Past exposure to LLM-based data transformation or cleansing agents — building or integrating tools that clean or structure messy data automatically.
  • Any background in computational biology / lab-data / bioinformatics is a bonus — though not required.

WHAT YOU WILL LOVE AT MITHRL

  • Mission-driven impact: You’ll be the gatekeeper of data quality — ensuring that all scientific data entering Mithrl becomes clean, consistent, and analysis-ready. You’ll have outsized influence over the reliability and trustworthiness of our entire data + AI stack.
  • High ownership & autonomy: This role is yours to shape. You decide how ingestion works, define the standards, and build the pipelines. You’ll work closely with our product, data science, and infrastructure teams — shaping how data is ingested, stored, and exposed to end users or AI agents.
  • Team: Join a tight-knit, talent-dense team of engineers, scientists, and builders.
  • Culture: We value consistency, clarity, and hard work. We solve hard problems through focused daily execution.
  • Speed: We ship fast (2x/week) and improve continuously based on real user feedback.
  • Location: Beautiful SF office with a high-energy, in-person culture.
  • Benefits: Comprehensive PPO health coverage through Anthem (medical, dental, and vision) + 401(k) with top-tier plans.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

About Us

Basecamp Research is dedicated to solving major challenges in the life sciences by exploring Beyond Known Biology. Our teams build frontier AI models using BaseData, the world's largest ethically-sourced and globally representative biological dataset. Our Global Research Team collects and curates our own biological data through partnerships with more than 152 organisations in 28 countries, giving its AI access to genetic diversity that doesn't exist for models trained on public database sources. This enables Basecamp Research to design novel protein sequences and biological systems that can accelerate therapeutic research and development.

In October 2024 we closed Series B and in January 2026 finalised pre-Series C investment from NVIDIA. With hubs both in London, UK as well as Boston, Massachusetts, USA and partners with biopharma companies and academic institutions worldwide, our work has been recognised with honours including Fast Company's Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Biotech and the FT-backed Sifted AI100 list of Europe's leading AI startups.

At Basecamp Research, we pride ourselves on being a diverse, exciting, fun, and flexible place to work. Our team of biologists, engineers, ML scientists, field explorers, and operations specialists are united by a sense of adventure and the belief that nature has already designed the solutions to our planet's greatest challenges - we just need to go out and discover them! If you feel passionate about the power of biology, data, and AI to build a better world, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role

We are looking for a Bioinformatics Scientist to join our Genomics team in London. You will turn vast, heterogeneous, often downright strange biological data into annotated, trustworthy resources the rest of the company and our models can build on.

We are building biological datasets at a scale no reference database has approached. Our flagship effort, the Trillion Gene Atlas, is one of the largest long-read sequencing efforts to date, targeting a trillion genes and a quadrillion assembled nucleotides.

The heart of this role is understanding the data itself. Much of what we collect doesn't fit existing schemas or tools, so the job is not to just run a standard toolchain but to develop new methods that label and mine biology no one has characterised before. Because you understand both the biology and what the models need downstream, you know what the data has to become, not just correct but machine-readable and model-ready.

What you'll do

• Analyse diverse, messy biological datatypes, primarily microbiomes from a wide range of sample types, spanning both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, bringing the biological judgment to know when an annotation is a real signal versus an artefact.• Develop new methods and tools to label and mine this data.• Design approaches for biology that doesn't fit standard schemas, curate the data to be model-ready, and benchmark honestly to tell real improvement from noise.• Prototype methods and validate on real, messy data at scale. Own light orchestration to prove or disprove an approach, then hand off to dedicated teams who take it to full production scale.• Reach for newer ML methods where they are the right tool for annotation, labelling, or mining, and fold them into your approach cleanly.• Keep the data trustworthy. Provenance, edge cases, and data integrity are part of the craft, not an afterthought.• Help build outward-facing tools where the opportunity arises. For example, a predictive "oracle" that helps our field teams target regions of the planet where undiscovered biodiversity is most likely to be found, turning curated data back into smarter sampling and discovery.

About You

You have a deep understanding of biological data and a strong core in sequence informatics (alignment, annotation, sequence analysis), with the judgment to know when standard tools are misleading or not right for the job. When a tool or method doesn't exist, your instinct is to build one - and the tools and methods you've built have been applied to real data at scale.

You've curated data that went on to train real models or feed large-scale analyses. You're a capable enough engineer to make your methods real, but you treat engineering as the means, not the mission.

You like to move fast, to ship, learn, and iterate at pace, without cutting corners on rigour.

You are excited by the scale of the biology: genetic diversity that exists in no public database, and the chance to invent the methods that make it usable for the first time.

You'll likely have a PhD in a relevant field, an MSc with 1-3 years of relevant experience, or a BSc with 3 or more.

About Us

Basecamp Research is dedicated to solving major challenges in the life sciences by exploring Beyond Known Biology. Our teams build frontier AI models using BaseData, the world's largest ethically-sourced and globally representative biological dataset. Our Global Research Team collects and curates our own biological data through partnerships with more than 152 organisations in 28 countries, giving its AI access to genetic diversity that doesn't exist for models trained on public database sources. This enables Basecamp Research to design novel protein sequences and biological systems that can accelerate therapeutic research and development.

In October 2024 we closed Series B and in January 2026 finalised pre-Series C investment from NVIDIA. With hubs both in London, UK as well as Boston, Massachusetts, USA and partners with biopharma companies and academic institutions worldwide, our work has been recognised with honours including Fast Company's Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Biotech and the FT-backed Sifted AI100 list of Europe's leading AI startups.

At Basecamp Research, we pride ourselves on being a diverse, exciting, fun, and flexible place to work. Our team of biologists, engineers, ML scientists, field explorers, and operations specialists are united by a sense of adventure and the belief that nature has already designed the solutions to our planet's greatest challenges - we just need to go out and discover them! If you feel passionate about the power of biology, data, and AI to build a better world, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role

Our EDEN models, trained on the world's largest ethically-sourced biological dataset, have already designed novel antibiotics validated against priority pathogens in the lab, and prioritised vaccine targets faster than comparable genomic foundation models.

We are looking for a Senior Bioinformatics Scientist to join our Genomics team in London, working closely with our deep-learning modelling, engineering, and translational teams. You will focus on defining what data our models require, what “good data”means and validating through evidence the success of our foundational models.

You will be a first principles thinker capable of reasoning backwards: defining what data would train a capability, how to structure, and what evaluations would show the model is doing what we intend.

You can read more about EDEN's move into antibiotic and vaccine design.

What you'll do

• Start from a modelling goal and work out the data behind it: what to assemble or curate, how to define ground truth and label quality, and how to build biologically sound splits homology- and structure-aware, not naive random so that what a model learns holds up.• Design the evaluations that prove it: the metrics, baselines, and failure analysis that show a model is genuinely capable rather than exploiting leakage or a shortcut in the data.• Fine-tune and rigorously evaluate genomic or protein models, or work hand in hand with those who do, so that your dataset decisions are grounded in how they actually move model performance.• Reason about biological meaning from foundational, evolutionary-scale data through to human therapeutic context: target validation evidence, indication mapping, peptide-level questions.• Run and develop the genomic and protein analyses that depend on sequence analysis, alignment, annotation, comparative and evolutionary approaches with the scepticism to spot when a result is an artefact of the method rather than the biology.• Work reproducibly, so your datasets and analyses are something the team can rerun and build on rather than a result that only ran once on your machine using whatever tooling fits, from workflow managers to containers, without needing to be a platform engineer.• Hold the line on data integrity, treating provenance and lineage as first-class parts of the dataset because a model is only as trustworthy as the consented, traceable data underneath it.

About You

You have demonstrated experience curating data specifically for life-science AI, so you understand what separates a dataset that trains a good model from one that quietly poisons it. That comes from having been close to the models themselves. You've trained, fine-tuned, or run inference on them enough to know what a dataset looks like from the other side.

Your foundations are strong. You have core bioinformatics, sequence informatics and the standard genomic and protein toolchain, along with the judgment to know where those tools quietly break down, backed by sound software practice in reproducibility, version control, and pipelines.

You have direct experience in human research, functional genomics, or clinically relevant work, the kind where the biology connects to human health rather than sitting at arm's length.

You'll likely have a PhD in a relevant field, an MSc with 1-3 years of relevant experience, or a BSc with 3 or more years.

Low ego, collaborative instincts, and a startup mentality. You're comfortable with ambiguity and happy to wear multiple hats in a team where everyone contributes towards the company's success.
