As molecular data generation and frontier model intelligence grows, new approaches to data analysis are needed across the biotech industry. Latch is building intelligent, high performance agents for biological data analysis, empowering over 5,000 scientists across 150+ R&D labs to handle data from instrument-to-insights.

We're seeking a Member of Technical Staff for Genomics to lead our genomics bench, pushing its capabilities to the frontier of what artificial intelligence can achieve in biology.

About the Role

You will design our technical approach to teaching agents how to understand and handle complex genomic data, mapping out end-to-end data analysis workflows and working from instrument outputs to real scientific decisions.

You will lead a team of software engineers and biologists building datasets to teach these agents to reason better across:

• Sequencing QC → alignment & assembly
• Variant calling & filtering
• Clinical variant interpretation
• Population genetics → algorithmic reasoning

Requirements

• 5+ years hands-on experience with genomics or genetics data
• Experience in drug mechanism of action studies using population genomics
• Prior contribution to a novel genomics method, tool, or published pipeline
• Proficiency in Python and/or R

Compensation & Logistics

• $180k+ base, increasing with technical depth and experience
• Variable compensation + equity + stock options
• 100% premium covered Blue Shield platinum health plan ($0 deductible / $0 out-of-pocket)
