🏢 About LATCHBIO

We believe in radical transparency: you'll know how the company is doing, what's working, and what isn't. It's always us against the problem, never each other. We're opinionated but respectful, and we bring solutions along with the problems. Come in at the time that works for you; just let the team know via slack if you'll be later than usual. We keep meetings to a minimum and judge people on innovation and output, not hours. Outside of work, we have company outings most months, team off-sites, latch run club, cycling, boxing, ice skating, and playing soccer together; feel free to add to the list.

🎯 The Role

Application
Infrastructure Engineer (AI Enablement)

✅ Key Responsibilities

• You will be working on problems including agent infrastructure and orchestration, ML infrastructure, model benchmarking at scale, full stack web development, developer and user experience, and process optimization.
• Infrastructure challenges span container orchestration, sandboxing, distributed filesystems, cloud architecture, and database systems.

📌 Required Qualifications

• AI-native engineer. You use AI coding agents every day and have built tooling, workflows, or integrations that made them more effective for a whole team, not just yourself.
