We’re pioneering the discovery and development of life-changing medicines through the transformative power of artificial intelligence. Backed by Lightspeed, NEA and Sequoia.
About the role
We are building a next-generation lab automation and robotics platform that brings together robotic systems, simulation, computer vision, and AI to improve the speed, reliability, reproducibility, and scale of experimental biology. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Strong software engineering skills in one or more languages such as Python, C++, or C#, with experience developing and debugging integrated applications in Linux
- Hands-on experience building or extending robotics simulations or digital twins using Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Gazebo, or comparable tools
- Solid understanding of 3D coordinate transformations, robot kinematics, calibration, and the relationship between simulated models and physical systems
- Experience integrating robots, sensors, or other physical systems through APIs, SDKs, ROS2, or comparable middleware
- Familiarity with GPU computing and cloud-based workflows for simulation, AI, or data processing
- Strong debugging and experimental skills, clear technical communication, and the ability to learn unfamiliar methods while critically validating software and AI-generated outputs
More about this role
Xaira is an innovative biotech startup focused on leveraging AI to transform drug discovery and development. The company is leading the development of generative AI models to design protein and antibody therapeutics, enabling the creation of medicines against historically hard-to-drug molecular targets. It is also developing foundation models for biology and disease to enable better target elucidation and patient stratification. Collectively, these technologies aim to continually enable the identification of novel therapies and to improve success in drug development. Xaira is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, and London.
