Feanix Autopilot combines whole-genome sequencing, DairyComp, EZfeed, milk checks, feed costs, health records, and real farm performance data into one prediction engine that prices every cow on your economics — not the industry average. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
You will be a key contributor focused on improving farmer outcomes by turning herd and reproductive data into clear, actionable recommendations. You’ll work directly with the CEO and founders and serve as the primary internal support specialist for the organization. This position is remote with a preference for California based candidates and requires 75% travel within the United States.
What they're looking for
- Master’s or Ph.D. in Dairy Science, Animal Science, Genetics, or a closely related field
- Strong foundational knowledge of dairy farming operations, herd management, and reproductive metrics
- Demonstrated experience with data analysis and statistical methods, including identifying outliers in biological/agricultural datasets
- Track record of designing and running structured experiments or research studies
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate complex findings for non-technical audiences
- Self-directed and comfortable working independently in a remote environment
More about this role
Feanix is rebuilding animal breeding from the genome up.
We’re a YC-backed startup using whole-genome sequencing and custom ML models to help dairy farmers make better breeding and herd management decisions. Our technology is genuinely novel: we can sequence a full genome from a single hair at a fraction of traditional industry costs, our models achieve ~90% prediction accuracy on traits where existing approaches sit closer to ~30%, and we’re pioneering farm-specific genomic predictions that turn genetics into practical, actionable decisions.
That technology is translating into real adoption. In a short time, we’ve grown to serve roughly 1% of the U.S. dairy industry — and reached $10M+ in ARR, with significant demand still ahead of us. We’re backed by Initialized Capital, General Catalyst, Collaborative Fund, Overwater Ventures, North South Ventures, and Y Combinator.
We started with dairy because our founders grew up on dairy farms and understand firsthand the problems we’re solving. But genetics is foundational to every agricultural industry, and dairy is only the beginning.
We’re building Feanix with a small, high-caliber team where people have meaningful ownership and work...
