The opportunity

We are looking for a highly skilled machine learning research engineer with significant experience in training and implementing large scale generative models. In this role you will manage our high performance computing environment, and our model serving initiatives. You will join an interdisciplinary team of machine learners, protein engineers and biologists, jointly working to change the way that we control biology and cure diseases

Who we are

At Latent Labs, we are building frontier models that learn the fundamentals of biology. We pursue ambitious goals with curiosity and are committed to scientific excellence. Before building Latent Labs, our team co-developed DeepMind’s Nobel-prize winning AlphaFold, invented latent diffusion, and built pioneering lab data management systems as well as high throughput protein screening platforms. At Latent Labs you will be working with some of the brightest minds in generative AI and biology.

Our team is committed to interdisciplinary exchange, continuous learning and collaboration. Team offsites help us foster a culture of trust across our London and San Francisco sites.

We’re looking for innovators passionate about tackling complex challenges and maximizing positive global impact. Join us on our moonshot mission.

Who you are

  • Deep experience with Kubernetes and containerized workflows

  • Experience with major cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure)

  • Knowledge of DevOps and related tools (Terraform, etc)

  • knowledge of HPC frameworks (Slurm, Ray, etc)

  • Production engineering & reliability experience

  • PyTorch & distributed computing experience

Your Responsibilities

  • Deploy, maintain, and optimize production and research compute clusters

  • Design and implement scalable and efficient ML inference solutions

  • Develop dynamic / heterogeneous compute solutions for balancing research and production needs

  • Contribute to productizing model APIs for external use

  • Develop infrastructure observability and monitoring solutions

Apply

We offer strongly competitive compensation and benefits packages, including:

  • Private health insurance

  • Pension/401(K) contributions

  • Generous leave policies (including gender neutral parental leave)

  • Hybrid working

  • Travel opportunities and more

We also offer a stimulating work environment, and the opportunity to shape the future of synthetic biology through the application of breakthrough generative models.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and we are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills.

Where to Advertise Biotech Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising biotech jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans life scientists, computational biologists, regulatory specialists and biomanufacturing engineers — each with distinct professional networks and job search behaviours. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that biotech professionals expect. Specialist platforms, academic channels and sector-specific communities each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by BiotechnologyJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise biotech roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Biotech Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Biotechnology is creating jobs at a rate that few other sectors can match. New disciplines are emerging from research labs and entering commercial hiring pipelines, existing roles are fragmenting into deeper specialisms, and the technologies driving it all — from AI-assisted drug discovery to next-generation gene editing — are advancing faster than the workforce can keep pace with. For job seekers, this creates an unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means navigating a relatively familiar landscape and identifying where your skills fit. In biotech, that landscape is being actively redrawn. The roles generating the most hiring activity in 2028 may look quite different from the ones appearing in job adverts today. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't always those with the longest CVs or the most letters after their name. They're the ones who understand where the sector is heading: which disciplines are gaining commercial traction, which technologies are driving employer demand, and how the definition of a "biotech job" is expanding well beyond traditional pharmaceuticals and research roles. This article breaks down what the UK biotech jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising right now, and how to position your career ahead of the curve rather than behind it.

New Biotech Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Transforming Life Sciences Careers

The biotechnology job market in the UK is entering a new phase—one defined by scientific breakthroughs, targeted investment, and a growing pipeline of innovative employers. For professionals browsing BiotechnologyJobs.co.uk, the key question is no longer just which companies exist, but which ones are scaling, hiring, and shaping the future of life sciences. In this article, we explore the new biotech employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK-based startups, scale-ups, and international firms with a growing UK presence. These organisations have recently secured funding, partnerships, or strategic backing—strong indicators of hiring momentum in the months ahead.
