## About the role

Lila is redefining the future of biomedicine by combining large-scale automated data generation with scientific superintelligence.

We are seeking a Senior ML Scientist to connect that work to human medicine, building the systems that assess whether a clinical program's biology holds up.

## What they're looking for

- Mechanistic reasoning about therapeutic interventions. Able to state how an intervention is meant to work, what evidence would establish each step, and where human evidence supports or undercuts it
- Clinical development fluency. Working knowledge of trial design, endpoints, biomarker strategy, eligibility and enrichment — enough to read a protocol and judge whether it tests the mechanism it claims to
