Bioinformatics Scientist — Antibody Discovery & NGS

[The Role] We are looking for a Bioinformatics Scientist who will work across the full spectrum of antibody discovery—from mining screening data to computationally designing new candidate sequences. Working at the forefront of our antibody discovery engine, you will own the end-to-end NGS analysis pipeline, partner directly with wet-lab scientists to close the loop between computation and experiment, and collaborate with ML engineers to apply generative AI approaches for sequence design and optimization. This is not a downstream analysis role. You will shape which candidates enter our optimization pipeline—whether discovered from screening data or computationally designed—and your biological interpretation will directly influence lead selection decisions. As an early member of the computational team, you will have the autonomy to define how our discovery informatics evolves. [Position Overview] We are seeking a Bioinformatics Scientist who will work across the entire spectrum of antibody discovery, from mining screening data to designing novel candidate sequences using generative AI. This role is at the forefront of antibody discovery engines, offering end-to-end ownership of the NGS analysis pipeline. You will work directly with wet lab scientists to close the computation-experiment loop, and collaborate with ML engineers to drive generative AI approaches to sequence design and optimization. This is not downstream analysis work. You will determine which molecules enter the optimization pipeline, whether candidates discovered through screening or computationally designed, and your biological interpretations will directly impact lead selection decisions. As an early member of the computational team, this position offers autonomy, allowing you to define the direction of discovery informatics evolution. What You Will Do • NGS Pipeline Development & Execution Build, execute, and continuously refine pipelines for processing high-throughput sequencing data from antibody display and screening campaigns. Ensure reproducibility, scalability, and rapid turnaround to keep pace with experimental cycles. • Candidate Discovery & Prioritization Analyze clonal enrichment, sequence diversity, and predicted developability to identify and rank antibody leads. Provide data-driven rationale for which candidates advance to downstream characterization. • AI-Driven Sequence Design Collaborate with ML engineers to leverage generative AI and protein language models for de novo antibody sequence design and optimization. Evaluate computationally designed candidates using the same biological and developability criteria applied to screening-derived hits, bridging the gap between generative models and experimental validation. Wet-Lab Partnership Serve as the primary computational partner to bench scientists. Interpret screening results collaboratively, provide rapid feedback on experimental outcomes, and co-design iterative screening strategies based on data insights. • Pipeline & Codebase Evolution Maintain and improve our Python-based analysis codebase. Architect flexible, modular systems that can incorporate new algorithms, public datasets, and evolving experimental formats as the field advances. • Scientific Intelligence Monitor the rapidly evolving landscape of AI-driven antibody discovery and NGS methodology. Evaluate emerging tools and approaches, and bring validated improvements into our production workflows.
