About the role

We are building Protege to solve the biggest unmet need in AI — getting access to the right training data. The process today is time intensive, incredibly expensive, and often ends in failure.

  • Direct experience with genomics and working knowledge of transcriptomics, proteomics, and the broader multi-omics landscape
  • Familiarity with raw and processed sequencing files such as FASTQ, BAM, and VCF, able to discuss dataset quality, provenance, and relevant documentation with technical stakeholders
  • Understanding of how cohort characteristics, assay methods, and linked clinical or phenotype information affect dataset usefulness
  • Ability to surface consent, de-identification, and data-use restrictions for expert review, strong cross-functional coordination and judgment in an early-stage environment
  • Experience with AI data partnerships, research data commercialization, or sample evaluation workflows
