Software Engineer

Seeking an ambitious engineer to pioneer AI-workers in biology.

We believe that great scientists should do great science.

Labs waste months to learn and code pipelines that are obsolete for the next experiment. Mithrl’s “digital agents” create on-demand custom workflows using natural language – in minutes. So that scientists can focus all their time to conduct higher-quality experiments.
At Mithrl, we conduct cutting-edge AI research and develop state-of-the-art products. Our scientists have developed in-house (the world’s first) a network of specialized AI agents that fully automate end to end dry-lab processes using just natural language. This automation includes:
RNA/DNA sequence processing
Cleaning, sanitizing, and converting unstructured data to structured data
Conducting literature reviews and hypothesis testing
Performing exploratory and complex analysis in minutes (no training required)
Our prospects are blown away by the platform. Their initial reactions consistently revolve around:
“This is nuts!!”
“It is impossible! Too good to be true”
“How did you make it do that?!”
“Could I please try this on my datasets today?”
“This is going to make my life so much easier”

Why AI x Biotech?

Data in biotech has increased 10,000x over the past 10 years
AI in biopharma will 20x in 7 years. $200m to $4b, 54% CAGR.

Traction

Founded by two scientists, we are a venture-backed, fast-growing startup located in the heart of San Francisco. We are very well capitalized and have customers in the US and Europe. We are backed and advised by some of the most sought-after biotech legends (including the former CEO of Roche.)
