AI Engineer

Bio is a decentralized science protocol that helps launch and grow AI-driven biotech research. It enables scientists to raise funds, create value from their work, and distribute that value directly to their communities. Since 2023, Bio has directed over $50m to global researchers, offering an alternative to traditional pharma funding. Backed by investors like Binance Labs, Northpond Ventures, and Animoca Brands, Bio accelerates real-world therapeutics across longevity, brain health, fertility, psychedelic science, and more. WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS As a Member of Technical Staff on the AI Agents team, you’ll design, build, and scale the core agent systems that power Bio Protocol’s products. You’ll work closely with full-stack engineers and scientist-evaluators to create agents that can plan, use tools, and reason safely. This role offers the opportunity to shape the foundation of how AI collaborates with human scientists - combining technical depth with real-world scientific impact. While technical skills matter, we believe drive and cultural fit matter most. If you're passionate about shipping impactful work and excited by our mission, we encourage you to apply - even if you don't check every single box. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Build agent capabilities for planning, tool use, memory, and context management, and ship them into production. - Integrate agents with internal and external tools and data sources (retrieval systems, structured datasets, lab/biomed APIs, spreadsheets, search), with robust schemas and safeguards. - Develop quality and evaluation systems, including unit, regression, and scenario/benchmark tests, telemetry, and automated scoring. - Collaborate with scientists to analyze failure modes and improve performance. - Partner with the knowledge and ontology team to ensure outputs are source-traceable and compliant with provenance standards. - Implement safety measures, guardrails, and sandboxed execution for risky operations. - Optimize performance and reliabili
