## About the role

Ginkgo Datapoints defines the category of the Bio × AI data provider. We work with top pharma, biotech, tech, and techbio companies, and we've built our reputation on high-quality, large-scale, reproducible data generated by automation rather than by hand. We're a fee-for-service partner — our customers own their data, and our incentives are aligned with theirs.

## What they're looking for

- Deep Industry Expertise: 10+ years in high-growth biotech or large pharma with a proven track record in functional genomics and discovery research. (We weigh hands-on industry R&D leadership more heavily than a purely academic track record.)
- Buyer's Perspective: You have been an active buyer of discovery / CRO / data-generation services (or led teams that were), and you're motivated to build, on the sell side, something you wished existed as a customer
- Scientific Credibility: PhD (or equivalent experience) in genomics, molecular biology, computational biology, systems biology, or a related field. You are a recognized expert in perturbation biology or modeling and the discovery cascade
- Perturbation Depth: Direct experience with arrayed chemical and/or genetic screening (CRISPR KO / CRISPRi), transcriptomic profiling, and high-content imaging
- Computational Strength with Wetlab Command: A strongly computational profile is very welcome — even ideal. What's essential is a firm, practical understanding of wetlab methods, so you can lead the experimental team credibly
- Translational and clinical biomarkers: experience — or a real passion for — biomarker work in population-scale or direct-to-consumer settings (rather than regulated diagnostics)
