About this role
**Core Engineer — Bio (Decentralized Science Protocol)** 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, backed by investors including **Binance Labs**, **Northpond Ventures**, and **Animoca Brands**. --- ## About the Role We’re building next-generation infrastructure for decentralized science and are looking for a **Core Engineer** who has built **AI agent systems** or **complex research infrastructure** from scratch. This is a foundational role where you’ll own the **design, architecture, and implementation** of the core systems powering our AI agents and coordination protocols. You’ll work closely with **product, research, and science** teams to shape Bio’s technical direction and ensure our systems are **reliable, performant, and ready to scale globally**. --- ## What You’ll Do - Architect and build **high-performance AI agent infrastructure** from the ground up - Design and implement **on-chain coordination systems** (funding mechanisms, governance, research incentives, token flows) - Build **fault-tolerant backend services** for agent orchestration, data pipelines, and integrations (cloud labs, bio-databases, CROs) - Optimize **system performance, throughput, and reliability** under real-world research workloads - Lead technical decisions around **system design, data models, and scaling strategy** - Collaborate with product and science teams to translate research requirements into production systems - Establish best practices for **code quality, testing, observability, and incident response** - Mentor other engineers as the team grows --- ## What We’re Looking For - Proven experience building **AI agent systems**, **research platforms**, or complex technical infrastructure from scratch - Strong background in **distributed systems** and **high-throughput architectures** - Expertise in one or more backend languages: **Python, Go, Rust, TypeScript** - Deep understanding of **LLM architectures**, agent orchestration patterns, and **ML systems in production** - Experience designing systems that integrate with **messy, real-world data sources** - Solid grasp of **smart contract development** and **on-chain coordination mechanisms** - Comfortable operating in an **early-stage, fast-moving** environment - Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally --- ## Nice to Have - Experience scaling AI systems to production with **thousands of users** - Prior work in **biotech**, computational biology, or scientific computing - Background in **DeSci**, crypto protocols, or decentralized coordination - Open-source contributions in AI, research tooling, or infrastructure --- ## Why Join Us - Foundational role with real technical ownership and impact - Competitive salary + meaningful **equity/token** component - **Remote-first** culture with a world-class, mission-driven team - Opportunity to build **category-defining infrastructure** for open science from day one
