Your team will own both the API experience used by agents and automations as well as the UI that scientists interact with daily. This high-impact leadership role reports to the Head of Engineering.
Our mission is to build an AI scientist to cure human diseases, and you'll lead the implementation and design of the core product that achieves this goal. This role will influence architecture, operations, and growth of our product engineering team. You will help mentor junior engineers and enable senior engineers to build world-class software.
