About this role

ML Scientist I / II, Foundation Models for Life Sciences San Francisco, CA USA Your Impact at Lila Lila is building a platform where AI and automation co-evolve to solve the hardest problems in medicine. Within Life Science AI (LSAI), the Foundation Models team researches and develops large-scale generative models and reasoning frameworks that power automated scientific discovery across Lila's life science domains. We are seeking a Scientist I or II to join this team as a contributor to foundation model research at the intersection of machine learning and life science data. You will work on generative models spanning biological sequences, molecular structures, and multimodal experimental data, contributing to problem formulation, model design, training, evaluation, and integration into Lila's closed-loop discovery engine. This is an IC role for someone building deep expertise in generative AI applied to biology. You will own research sub-problems end to end, collaborate closely with experimental scientists to close the computational-experimental loop, and contribute to Lila's presence in the broader scientific community. What You'll Be Building - Contribute to research on foundation models for life science applications, including biological sequence design, structure prediction, and multimodal scientific reasoning - Design, train, and evaluate generative models on biological and chemical data, incorporating domain-specific constraints and priors - Be part of the end-to-end ML process within Lila's "Lab-in-the-Loop" lifecycle: support data generation strategy, build pipeline models, and help design feedback loops where experimental results improve model performance - Translate biological questions into well-defined ML problems and interpret model outputs
