Anthrogen • San Francisco, CA

4d • Onsite

About The Position

Anthrogen is engineering post-modality biology. Today's modalities reflect historical contingencies in biological progress, not fundamental categories. We develop the AI systems that design modular biological machines and the experimental infrastructure to instantiate them. We're a small, high-density team in San Francisco building frontier AI and the biological systems to validate it, and we care most about people who move fast, go deep, and pick up whatever the problem needs.

We hire for talent before titles. If you are exceptional and none of our open roles quite fit, tell us what we're missing.
You might have a research direction we should pursue, a capability we haven't built, or an unusual combination of skills that would change what we can do. You don't need to arrive with a complete job description. You do need to give us a concrete reason to think we should work together.

We're looking for the same things we look for in every hire: exceptional work, independent judgment, curiosity beyond a specialty, and a serious interest in what Anthrogen is trying to build. The absence of a matching title shouldn't keep us from meeting someone we ought to know.
