Job Description
Job Title: Computational Biologist
Location: Cambridge (Hybrid)
Join an early-stage startup at the intersection of code and biology, where DNA is the design language and synthesis is the platform.
Their mission is to accelerate the design and synthesis of DNA – enabling researchers, developers, and engineers to treat biology as a programmable system. They are building a platform to streamline sequence design, optimise gene constructs, and scale high-throughput synthesis.
The work sits at the intersection of machine learning, biological design, and molecular engineering.
About the Role
You’ll join a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers, contributing to the development of core algorithms, models, and tools that underpin technology.
What’s on offer
* £65,000 - £80,000 base salary DOE
* Access to cutting-edge tools, datasets, and experimental infrastructure
* Budget for conferences, training, and professional development
* A collaborative, science-driven culture with direct impact on product and platform direction
Your Responsibilities
1. Develop and implement algorithms for sequence optimisation, codon usage, secondary structure prediction, and synthesis constraint resolution<...
