About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Turn scientific objectives and constraints into agent instructions, tool inputs and candidate checks
- Build agent workflows that retrieve relevant evidence, propose design steps and explain assumptions, uncertainties and decisions requiring scientific review
- Integrate scientific tools, models and calculators; validate inputs, interpret outputs and handle failures
- Connect workflows to data storage, compute, approval and progress-reporting capabilities
- Implement candidate generation, filtering and ranking against agreed criteria
- Prepare sequences and supporting results for scientist review and experimental testing, including gene synthesis where required
- Build workflow-specific reference cases and regression checks using shared evaluation tooling
- Compare permitted models and configurations for task quality, completion, speed and cost
- Investigate failures in reasoning, tool use and execution
- Improve agent instructions, context handling and code using evaluation results and scientist feedback
- Record input references, tool and model versions, parameters and output locations so results can be inspected and reproduced
- Write tested, maintainable code, contribute to reviews and support deployed workflows
- Reuse components as scientific programmes expand
- Work with scientific product managers, researchers and platform teams
- Report to the Lead Software Engineer
Requirements
What you’ll need- Experience shipping multi-step agentic workflows with tool integrations and context management
- Experience building reusable agent skills or tool interfaces, for example with MCP
- Ability to write APIs and data-handling code with automated tests and version control
- Experience integrating tools or services and handling invalid inputs, asynchronous execution and partial failures
- Ability to turn examples and failure cases into repeatable evaluations
- Ability to use evaluation results to change how an agent behaves
- Ability to work with domain experts and turn unfamiliar requirements into testable software
- Familiarity with protein design, enzyme engineering, computational biology or scientific software (optional)
- Experience integrating sequence or structure analysis, molecular modelling or protein-design tools (optional)
- Experience with literature retrieval, evidence-linked reporting or scientific data formats (optional)
- Familiarity with workflow engines, containers, cloud or HPC compute, and data-access controls (optional)
