Product Designer

LatchBio•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

LatchBio builds benchmarks to test whether frontier AI can perform computational biology. Pharma and biotech companies, frontier AI organizations, and solution providers use benchmarks.bio to evaluate and improve AI systems. The Product Designer will design and ship experiences researchers use to understand, run, and contribute to the benchmarks. This includes internal tools for the team building tasks and the public-facing platform for the scientific community. The role spans complex product workflows, interaction and visual design, developer and user experience, and the company website. The designer will work on a small team with significant control over their direction and the problems they tackle. Work may include improving platform workflows, identifying usability and design issues, developing interaction patterns, and taking features from idea through production. The designer will also create website pages and experiences for benchmark launches, product announcements, company updates, and other marketing needs, working with the team to present products and work externally and translate technical ideas into clear, polished web experiences. Designers are expected to be hands-on in bringing work to production, using AI coding agents to implement and iterate on designs. Frontend engineering expertise is not required, but comfort working with code and modern tools to turn designs into working software is expected.
