As a Senior Scientist on Xaira’s High-throughput Biology team, you will invent and develop single-cell assays for AI-driven drug discovery. You will create new molecular readouts and extend commercial and published technologies to measure cellular state and responses at scale. You will own development from concept and feasibility through reproducible workflows for high-throughput data generation.

Join a small, multidisciplinary technology development team where you will shape technical direction. Working with biologists, engineers, and computational scientists, you will rapidly design, prototype, and test new assays. You will help decide which ideas to pursue, which technologies to adopt, and how to expand their capabilities. The assays you build will generate data that power Xaira’s machine-learning models.

Conceive, prototype, and develop novel single-cell assays, and expand commercial workflows to enable new molecular readouts and biological applications.

Develop and troubleshoot assay components from sample preparation and barcoding through reverse transcription, amplification, targeted or whole-transcriptome NGS library preparation, and QC; design custom primers, oligonucleotides, and barcodes.

Build mammalian cell systems and functional assays using cell engineering, flow cytometry, imaging, and in situ hybridization.

Partner with biology and engineering teams to turn prototypes into reproducible, scalable workflows and document protocols for transfer to internal teams.

Evaluate emerging technologies.
