We are looking for a highly skilled Member of Technical Staff to lead the development of cutting-edge workflows. You will build autonomous systems that can navigate complex scientific tasks entirely through natural language conversation. In your role, you will architect and deploy reasoning systems that democratise access to breakthrough synthetic biology tools, enabling researchers worldwide to leverage our frontier models through intuitive chat interfaces.

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 maximising positive global impact. Join us on our moonshot mission.

Who You Are:

  • You are a strong software engineer with deep experience in Python, API design, and distributed systems architecture.

  • You are an expert in LLM orchestration. You have hands-on experience with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and orchestration frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, or have built custom agent frameworks from scratch.

  • You understand intelligent information retrieval. You have experience with RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems, vector databases, and embedding models for knowledge extraction.

  • You can architect complex workflows. You have experience with workflow orchestration tools (Airflow, Prefect, Temporal) or have built custom pipeline systems for multi-step autonomous processes.

  • You bridge science and engineering. You are comfortable with scientific computing libraries (NumPy, SciPy, pandas) and understand scientific literature formats, databases (PubMed, arXiv), and academic data processing.

What Sets You Apart:

  • You have a research background. You are a former academic researcher who transitioned to industry ML/AI roles, or a research software engineer with deep ML/AI experience.

  • You're passionate about scientific automation. You have experience with document processing, OCR, text extraction from academic papers, and scientific data formats.

  • You understand the research ecosystem. You have worked in academic or pharmaceutical research environments and understand research workflows and publishing processes.

  • You're a multimodal specialist. You have a background in natural language processing, particularly for scientific text processing and citation networks.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Build autonomous scientific agents that can execute complex research workflows through natural language interaction—from protein structure analysis to experimental design.

  • Architect end-to-end reasoning systems that integrate our platform capabilities with intelligent decision-making, enabling users to accomplish sophisticated tasks through simple chat interfaces.

  • Develop knowledge discovery pipelines that can autonomously mine scientific literature, identify undrugged disease pathways, and propose novel therapeutic targets.

  • Create scientific content at scale by building agents that can design experiments, generate hypotheses, and produce research-grade articles and blog posts.

  • Pioneer autonomous lab workflows by developing agents that can design complex biological systems (like protein-based logic gates) and orchestrate their validation.

  • Collaborate with scientists to understand research pain points and translate them into intelligent automation solutions.

  • Publish and evangelise breakthrough applications of agentic workflows in synthetic biology through articles, blog posts, and scientific demonstrations.

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.
