Engineer Researcher

Latch builds scientific benchmarks at benchmarks.bio that measure how well AI agents do real biology. Frontier AI labs and pharma companies use them to answer one question: can an agent handle the multilayered reasoning that biological work demands? Every benchmark is grounded in experimental and clinical work and built by scientists who have done that work themselves.

The Role
You will be working on problems in post-training, data quality, task and reward shaping, ML infrastructure, scientific benchmark design, and benchmark delivery. Challenges span understanding the intersection of biology and ML, collaborating directly with scientists, and maintaining quality at a fast cadence.
