Lead the technical direction as Head of Technical Staff at Anthrogen.com in San Francisco, guiding the production of the world’s largest protein foundation models. Backed by Y Combinator and Paul Graham with $11M in funding, Anthrogen is training 102B-parameter models to design novel therapeutics and molecular machines. This role offers the opportunity to shape a category-defining biotech.
Proteins power everything from the cells in your body to creating materials you rely on every day—but until now, we’ve been forced to discover their functions by trial and error. Designing a new therapeutic can take decades and billions of dollars, and even our best industrial catalysts work at a snail’s pace compared to their theoretical optimums.
Anthrogen is changing that. By training massive AI foundation models on protein sequences and structures, we’ve unlocked the ability to generate—on demand—completely novel molecular machines with atomic-level precision. Simply describe the function you need, and our platform imagines the peptide or protein that will deliver it.
We're building models to speed up billions of years of evolution into the span of an afternoon's worth of compute.
The result? New-to-nature therapies, ultra-efficient catalysts for sustainable manufacturing, and a whole new frontier of molecular innovation—designed as precisely as any cutting-edge aircraft or microchip.
