## About the role

We’re seeking an AI Biologist to join our Peptide Discovery team, pushing what AI can achieve in therapeutic peptide discovery. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- PhD in peptide chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology, medicinal chemistry, or a related field
- Senior, hands-on peptide discovery experience: you have personally analyzed real program data, not just supervised it
- Deep expertise in at least one area (display and selection, biophysics, structural mapping, or peptide medicinal chemistry) and working fluency across the others
- Strong command of experimental design, quantitative data analysis in Python or R, and statistics
- AI-ready from day one: daily use of Claude, Cursor, or similar agents, with the judgment to spot where model reasoning is technically correct but scientifically unsound
- Confidence to overrule an AI agent when the evidence demands it, and the openness to update when shown wrong
