About the role

You will contribute to our technical approach for evaluating agent performance at reasoning across the genetic medicines pipeline – gene therapy, gene editing, and RNA therapeutics from target validation and drug discovery to clinical development. You will work as part of a team of software engineers and scientists building datasets and AI agent tasks across the end-to-end genetic medicines pipeline, including: Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Advanced degree (MS/PhD/PharmD) in molecular biology, genetics, gene therapy, or a related biomedical field, or equivalent industry experience
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in gene therapy, gene editing, or RNA therapeutics (ASO/siRNA/mRNA) discovery or development
  • Direct experience with drug design, drug screening, delivery optimization, or IND-enabling study design in at least one genetic medicine modality
  • Experience interpreting on-/off-target editing data, biodistribution, immunogenicity, and GLP toxicology to inform dose selection and risk assessment
  • Familiarity with IND-enabling regulatory requirements and the nonclinical data package expected by FDA/EMA is a plus
  • Experience evaluating potency, specificity, and developability trade-offs across vector, construct, or oligonucleotide candidates
More about this role

Latch builds rigorous scientific benchmarks ( benchmarks.bio ) for AI agents across biology. We work with frontier labs and pharma to measure whether agents can handle real biological workflows: the messy, multi-layer reasoning that matters in the field.

We’re seeking an AI Biologist - Genetic Medicines to join our team working at the frontier of what artificial intelligence can achieve in gene therapy, gene editing, and RNA therapeutics development.

You will contribute to our technical approach for evaluating agent performance at reasoning across the genetic medicines pipeline – gene therapy, gene editing, and RNA therapeutics from target validation and drug discovery to clinical development.

You will work as part of a team of software engineers and scientists building datasets and AI agent tasks across the end-to-end genetic medicines pipeline, including:

Designing realistic program case studies spanning target validation, drug design and screening, chemistry optimization, candidate nomination, and IND-enabling studies across genetic medicine modalities

Evaluating PK/PD, immunogenicity, and GLP toxicology findings across modalities and development stages
