CellType is building foundation models and agent systems for biology.
We believe the next major advances in biotech AI will come from rich biological data, strong model systems, and reliable infrastructure working together. We work with pharma and biotech partners on problems such as preclinical-to-clinical translation, response prediction, biomarker discovery, and scientific reasoning across complex biological datasets.
We are building the core intelligence layer for biology, and that requires a world-class data and ML platform.
We are hiring a Founding Platform Engineer to build the infrastructure backbone behind our training, evaluation, and inference stack.
We are looking for someone who can build the systems that make biological data usable for model development at speed and at scale: ingestion, indexing, search, retrieval, dataset interfaces, reproducibility, validation, orchestration, observability, and distributed performance.
You will work on the full path from raw data to training-ready datasets to reliable production workflows. The right person will make it dramatically easier for the rest of the team to build, evaluate, and ship models.
At CellType, the quality of our data and ML platform directly determines research speed, model quality, and customer trust. The right person will make the entire company faster and will shape the foundation we build on for years.
If you want to build the systems layer behind frontier AI for biology, we'd love to talk.
CellType is building an agentic drug company. AI agents that run the full drug discovery pipeline on top of biological foundation models that simulate human biology. Our core technology, developed with Google DeepMind, has already discovered and validated a new cancer treatment signal. We’re working with Top 10 pharma.
