Member of the Technical Staff - Create your own Adventure
Transfyr Bio
We’re leveraging AI to solve one of the most consequential challenges in the pursuit of technical progress: the distribution of scientific innovations to the real world. We’re well-funded with top investors and are building a world class team.
For innovations to have broad impact, they must scale beyond the lab. For too long, the transfer of discoveries from lab bench to real-world application has relied on informal handoffs, tacit know-how, and opaque processes and is littered with failed attempts and learnings buried in lab notebooks. The industry has quietly accepted this agonizingly slow process and inability to broadly reproduce and distribute new discoveries. We’re determined to support a new paradigm that ensures new scientific innovations can be more robust, interpretable, and transferable.
We are building processes and cutting-edge AI tools that aim to illuminate and streamline these critical transfers of knowledge. We learn as much, if not much more, from failures as successes, transforming experimental science into robust, scalable solutions.
We aren’t building AI to replace human ingenuity, but rather AI that can be a better partner in understanding and translating that ingenuity to new domains. We seek to build tools that help scientists spend less time documenting and debugging and more time doing the exploration they love. To be clear: we believe this will become critical infrastructure. Without solving for scale and knowledge distribution, the discoveries that will be enabled by great scientists at the bench and generative AI designs will fail to reach their end customer: us.
Work with us:
Your impact starts here. We enthusiastically invite applicants across a broad range of expertise and experience to apply. Maybe you have expertise at the bench and have seen reproducibility challenges first hand, maybe you’re one of the first people to read a new AI benchmarking paper that comes out, or maybe you have a knack for quickly developing and deploying solutions that make mundane tasks easier. Each candidate that joins the team will be a member of the technical staff, and compensation will depend on experience and responsibility. Our team works across AI and biotech innovation, so even if you apply for one role, we may consider you for others as well.
We think in-person collaboration is invaluable, but recognize that talent is broadly distributed, and are open to flexible working arrangements. We’re based in Cambridge, MA, but invite applications from all geographies.
What you can expect from us:
- Opportunity to join a creative and mission-oriented founding team and build with us, from the ground up
- We have a bias for action and are obsessed with solving our customers’ real problems
- We also love bold and audacious science, enabling moonshots, and are motivated to work with and across the entire ecosystem, enabling new and better futures for ourselves and our families
- We also offer a full HR comp stack to include competitive salary, equity, and benefits
We believe greatness can come from curiosity driven exploration. If you don’t find yourself aligned to one of the listed roles, but care about this problem, we want to hear from you too.
Preferences:
- Degree or experience in fields that may support leveraging AI/ML to make experimental science more reproducible, interpretable, and transferable at scale.
- Startup or early-stage experience preferred; comfort with ambiguity and rapid iteration is a must.
- Ideal candidates are located within commuting distance from Cambridge, MA.
