Member of Computational Team, Bioinformatics Focus

We're Exai Bio — an R&D-stage startup developing next-generation, AI-powered cancer detection assays. Our platform integrates proprietary deep learning AI modeling with unique, large-scale cell-free DNA and RNA (oncRNA) datasets to enable earlier, more accurate cancer detection. We operate with a "small team, broad impact" philosophy: each team member is entrusted with system-level ownership. Our core work spans Machine Learning, Bioinformatics and Software Engineering.

What You Will Do

We are seeking a bioinformatics scientist who combines strong scientific rigor with practical software engineering skills. Responsibilities:

• Analyze large-scale multi-omics datasets, including cell-free RNA, DNA, and associated clinical data — exploratory analyses, hypothesis generation, feature engineering, QC, and biomarker discovery.
• Design, validate, and optimize bioinformatics algorithms and statistical methods for cancer detection and disease monitoring.
• Develop and maintain robust, reproducible, scalable computational tools and workflows for research, translational, and validation studies.
• Apply software engineering best practices (version control, testing, code review, documentation, CI/CD).
• Improve infrastructure for experiment tracking, data management, reproducibility, and QA.
• Contribute to study design, statistical analysis strategies, regulatory documentation/traceability (V&V), and external academic/clinical/industry collaborations.

Who You Are

• Ph.D. or M.S. in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Statistics, Genomics, or a related quantitative field.
• 4+ years of relevant industry and/or academic experience in bioinformatics or computational biology.
• Strong background in statistical analysis, algorithm development, and biological data interpretation.
• Experience analyzing multiomics data and common genomic formats (FASTQ, BAM, BED, VCF).
• Proficiency in Python and scientific computing libraries; reproducible pipelines; Git/testing/CI/CD.

Level Expectations

• Member: leads projects of moderate scope. Salary range: $125,000-$155,000.
• Senior Member: leads complex projects across teams. Salary range: $150,000-$187,000.
