[Hiring] Agentic Life Science Expert @Weekday AI

Role Description

We are seeking experienced Computational Life Sciences Experts with strong scientific programming skills to design, develop, and validate complex tasks for training and evaluating advanced AI agents. This role focuses on creating realistic, multi-step scientific workflows that require AI systems to independently inspect scientific data, write and execute code, use computational tools, troubleshoot intermediate results, and produce scientifically accurate, verifiable outputs.

The objective is to evaluate whether AI agents can perform authentic computational life sciences research rather than simply answer scientific questions or reproduce memorized information. Successful candidates will combine advanced life sciences expertise with practical programming and computational research experience to develop rigorous, reproducible, and objectively assessable tasks.
