About the role

We’re seeking an AI Biologist to join our Medical Countermeasures team, pushing what AI can achieve in vaccine, antibody, and antiviral development against respiratory viruses. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in either vaccine/antibody development or antiviral development, ideally in respiratory viruses (influenza, RSV, or coronaviruses)
  • Deep expertise in at least one of the areas below, in priority order within each track: Vaccines and antibodies
  • Vaccine antigen design, immunogen engineering, or therapeutic antibody discovery
  • Epitope mapping, neutralization, cross-reactivity, and immune recognition
  • Comparative evaluation of vaccine or antibody candidates from experimental data
  • Antibody responses, immune imprinting, or waning immunity
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 to join our Medical Countermeasures team, pushing what AI can achieve in vaccine, antibody, and antiviral development against respiratory viruses.

About the Role. You will be the scientific authority on ground truth, testing whether agents can reason like an expert countermeasures scientist. The benchmark covers vaccines, therapeutic antibodies, and antivirals for influenza, RSV, and coronaviruses. AI agents today struggle to interpret raw neutralization, epitope, and drug-response data, to separate real escape or resistance from assay noise, and to make the advance-or-kill calls an expert would stand behind. You’ll work with scientists and engineers to build the tasks and datasets behind our benchmarks, and your judgment will set the standard agent outputs are held to.

Turn real countermeasure workflows into tasks with clear, gradable answers: antigen and immunogen comparison, epitope mapping,...
