Build and architect core backend systems for AI agent infrastructure and decentralized science protocols.
Responsibilities
- We're building next-generation infrastructure for decentralized science and are looking for a Core Engineer who has successfully 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 that power our AI agents and coordination protocols.
- You'll work closely with product, research, and science teams to shape the technical direction of Bio and ensure our systems are reliable, performant, and ready to scale globally.
- 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 integration with external systems (cloud labs, bio-databases, CROs)
- Optimise system performance, throughput, and reliability under real-world research workloads
- Lead technical decisions around system design, data models, and scaling strategy
- Collaborate closely 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
Requirements
- 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
Conditions
- 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
Other
- 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.
