We don't have a posting for you... yet! Please let us know your interest so we have your information on file.

We're a small founding team building something that doesn't exist yet: frontier AI models that decode how drugs and other interventions impact the human microbiome. Our roadmap moves faster than our job board. If you're a scientist, engineer, operator, or builder who's been following what we're doing and thinks you belong here, this is your way in. Some of our best conversations have started this way.

Who tends to thrive here

You've done real work in at least one of these areas (not all of them, just one or two where you're genuinely strong):

  • Microbiology, metagenomics, metabolomics, or multi-omic data science

  • Machine learning, particularly generative models, representation learning, or biological foundation models

  • Data engineering, pipeline architecture, or infrastructure for scientific computing

  • Wet lab operations, assay development, or high-throughput screening

  • Commercial and business operations in biotech or deep tech (partnerships, GTM, fundraising support)

  • Scientific communications, technical writing, or community building in bio/AI

You probably also share a few traits with the rest of the team: you're comfortable with ambiguity, you default to building rather than asking for permission, and you'd rather ship something imperfect on Tuesday than present something polished on Friday.

Why Join Outpost Bio?

  • You'll own real equity in what you build. We offer meaningful ISO/EMI stock options because we believe the people building this company should share in what it becomes. We want teammates who think like owners, and we structure compensation to reflect that.

  • Outstanding benefits. Full medical, dental, and vision coverage from day one (Outpost covers 100% of employee premiums). Pension/401(k) with match. 25 days PTO plus your birthday off. Short- and long-term disability.

  • A Lab-in-the-Loop feedback cycle. Wet lab experiments, computational analysis, and AI model development run on the same cadence. Your work feeds directly into the platform, and you'll see results in days, not years.

  • Small team, outsized reach. You're joining an early-stage team backed by top-tier investors with deep connections across AI and bio. The work you do here will directly shape how pharma and consumer companies understand molecule-microbiome interactions.

Work on a problem that matters.

Our mission is ambitious, and our standards are high. Our culture is built on intellectual honesty, deep ownership, reliably doing what we say we will do. If you are a builder who thrives on candid feedback and are ready to do the best work of your career, we would love to meet you.

An open invitation to researchers.

We’re building AI to predict how interventions impact the human microbiome and will be contributing foundational datasets and models back to the scientific community. We’re seeking collaborators with rich pre/post-intervention datasets of the microbiome. We'll offer partners rich insights to existing datasets.
