## About the role

Design, maintain, and extend internal LinkML / Biolink models and ontologies covering experimental and prior-knowledge metadata—driven by competency questions from user requirements and not by source-side convenience. Administer, steer, and refine our agentic curation framework and Model Context Protocol (MCP) service layer to scale data profiling, validation, and entity mapping far beyond manual capacity. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Biological Data Lifecycle: Direct experience turning messy, real-world exploratory datasets (genomics, single-cell, screening, imaging) into structured metadata
- Software & Data Management: Familiarity with Git, GitHub Actions, graph/relational databases, and cloud storage (e.g., AWS S3)
