A really gutsy culture
Work on a problem that matters. Our culture is built on intellectual honesty, deep ownership, and reliably doing what we say we will do.
Teams
Four disciplines, one loop. Wet lab feeds the models, the models design the next experiment, and operations keeps both moving.
Research & Development
In vitro microbiome communities, high-throughput compositional and functional readouts, and the assay design that decides what the models get to learn from next.
View roles
ML & Computational Biology
Foundation models for human microbiology. Atlas, Waypoint and Compass are open source, and every experiment we run makes the next version sharper.
View roles
Engineering & Data Platform
Cloud ingestion pipelines that harmonise multi-omic data across sites, sequencing technologies and protocols, and turn it into ML-ready corpora.
View roles
Operations & Finance
Keeping a two-country, lab-and-compute company efficient rather than cheap: planning, partnerships, and the unglamorous work that makes the science possible.

Where we work
Two offices, London and Boston. Two days a week from home, and two weeks a year from anywhere.

View rolesOur values
Four of them. They are not posters — they are how we argue, how we hire, and what we do when something goes wrong.
Evidence over eminence
We encourage open debate grounded in truth-seeking and practical effectiveness. We actively seek diverse perspectives and are humble enough to admit we're wrong. It shows up as challenging ideas without making it personal, celebrating a strong argument from any level, backing decisions with data, and owning mistakes quickly.
You got this
We trust each other and encourage fearless pursuit of big ideas. You got you before you got this — self-care fuels innovation. It shows up as trusting your gut and taking initiative, treating setbacks as growth, leading with empathy, and looking after ourselves so we can bring our best.
Insist on higher standards
We have relentlessly high standards for our work and its impact. Failures are an opportunity to elevate our execution. It shows up as taking pride in our craft, feeling safe enough to be vocally self-critical, treating feedback as a gift, and moving fast but doing no harm.
Efficiency
We accomplish more with less through clear communication and planning, but we are unafraid to tear up our plans and pivot. Time is precious, so we decide quickly. It shows up as cancelling meetings when the prep did not get done, acting like owners not renters, and questioning whether a task truly adds value.
Not the right role today?
We are a small team and we hire in bursts. Tell us what you work on and what you would want to build here, and we will come back to you when something opens that fits.
