AI Biologist - Longevity
Latch builds rigorous scientific benchmarks (benchmarks.bio) for AI agents across biology. We work with frontier labs and pharma to measure whether agents can handle real biological workflows: the messy, multi-layer reasoning that matters in the field.
We’re seeking an AI Biologist to join our Longevity team, pushing what AI can achieve in aging biology.
About the Role. You will be the scientific authority on ground truth, testing whether AI agents can reason like an expert aging biologist. Today’s agents struggle to separate biological age from chronological age, spot confounds that make aging signals look real, and judge which longevity claims hold up. Working with real published and public datasets, you’ll build the tasks behind our benchmarks, starting with aging biomarkers and the hallmarks of aging. Your judgment sets the standard agents are held to.
Build the task
Turn real aging research questions into tasks, and write gold-standard answers an expert would defend
Curate data across molecular and population scales: DNA methylation, transcriptomics, proteomics, single-cell, longitudinal cohorts and biobanks
Build tasks around aging clocks, biological age prediction, senescence, epigenetic drift, and mitochondrial dysfunction
Partner with software engineers to turn your judgment into workflows
Set the hard calls
Test whether agents catch cell-type composition, batch effects, and age imbalance between groups
Test whether agents know when findings in worms, mice, or cell models won’t translate to human aging
Adjudicate contested longevity claims: what the data support, what they don’t, and what would settle it
Judge the agent
Challenge reasoning that sounds right but wouldn’t survive peer review or a go/no-go decision
Pinpoint where agents fail, what an expert would do instead, and what evidence would change the call
Reward calibrated uncertainty over confident guesses
Requirements
Master’s or PhD in biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, or a related field
Research in aging biology, or in a field where aging is studied: cancer biology, epigenetics, immunology, metabolism, mitochondrial biology, neurodegeneration, or epidemiology
Working knowledge of aging: the hallmarks, how clocks are built, and biological vs. chronological age
Depth in at least one of:
Computational: machine learning or statistics on omics data
Experimental: hands-on experience generating omics or aging data (sequencing, model organisms, senescence or mitochondrial assays), so you know how experiments go wrong
You code your own analysis end to end in Python or R
Work you drove yourself (first-author paper, thesis, independent project) that you can defend in detail
A track record of catching errors in data that others missed
Daily use of AI coding tools, and the confidence to overrule an AI when the evidence demands it
Strongly preferred
Published research in aging, geroscience, or longevity
Experience building or validating aging clocks, or analyzing lifespan or healthspan data
Familiarity with UK Biobank, TCGA, GEO, Tabula Muris Senis, or the NIA Interventions Testing Program
Culture @ Latch
We practice 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 of each other’s time, and we think through possible solutions before bringing a problem to anyone. We use AI constantly, so we reward original expert judgment, not AI output passed off as your own. You’ll start on the bench that fits your expertise and can move across teams as you build a track record.
Outside of work: company outings most months, team off-sites, and a community that does cycling, soccer, figure skating, boxing, running, martial arts, music, books, and game nights.
Compensation & Logistics
Pay: $140K–$180K OTE (on-target earnings), with no ceiling.
Your pay is your OTE times your weekly quota attainment. Hit quota, earn your OTE; double it, earn double. Example: $150K OTE at double quota = $300K.
Your first 4 weeks (ramp) are paid at full OTE while we train you.
You’re paid full OTE whenever quota can’t fairly apply: when a new project is starting, the platform goes down, or we pull you onto a special project.
In the US: full-time W-2
Guaranteed base set by your state, paid every paycheck no matter what
Health, dental, vision: 100% covered for you, 50% for dependents
401(k) (no match)
PTO: 12 days to start, more as you’re promoted
Outside the US: contractor
Paid on performance, with a monthly advance of 60% of OTE that’s never clawed back. US benefits don’t apply.
Growth: two tracks, based on output, not tenure.
Individual contributor: six levels, so up to five promotions, with OTE rising at each one.
Management: after your first promotion, you can move into managing a pod if that’s what you want.
Location: fully remote is fine; onsite is preferred, at our Mission Bay waterfront office in SF with catered lunch and dinner and unlimited snacks.
Work authorization: we sponsor H-1B (new and transfers), O-1, and TN, and support STEM OPT.
Interview Process
Apply. If your profile matches, we’ll send you a take-home project.
Take-home project (HackerRank). We review it as soon as it arrives.
Technical interview with a Member of Technical Staff (pod lead), scheduled right after your project review.
Culture interview with our C-suite.
Offer.
Background check, once you accept.
Compensation Range: $140K - $180K

Tips for Your Remote Field Biologist Job Search
Prove you can work independently in the field
Remote field biologist employers want evidence you've managed your own data collection, written detailed observation reports without prompting, and met deadlines without daily oversight. Highlight independent projects, solo survey work, or contract assignments where you owned the output from start to finish.
Show your digital field data skills upfront
Remote roles depend on tools like ArcGIS, Survey123, Collector, or similar mobile data platforms. List every platform you've used for field data collection and analysis in your resume's skills section so remote hiring managers can spot your fit immediately without reading between the lines.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote field biologist openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sifting through location-based listings. Remote roles fill fast, so applying as soon as a position appears gives you the best shot.
Prepare for async-heavy remote interviews
Many remote field biologist hiring processes include written assessments or video responses alongside live interviews. Practice describing past field projects clearly in writing and on camera, since remote teams evaluate how well you communicate complex observations to colleagues who weren't in the field with you.
Remote Field Biologist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote field biologist job?
Target companies with distributed science teams: environmental consulting firms, federal contractors, wildlife nonprofits, and conservation tech organizations are the most consistent remote hirers for this role. Remote employers screen heavily for self-direction, strong written communication, and the ability to document field observations clearly without in-person check-ins. Candidates who highlight async collaboration, digital data collection tools, and experience managing independent fieldwork projects stand out.
Which companies hire remote field biologists?
Companies hiring remote field biologists right now include LatchBio, Freenome, and Colgate-Palmolive, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These tend to be environmental consulting firms, conservation-focused nonprofits, and distributed research teams that coordinate field staff across multiple regions without a central office.
Can you get a remote field biologist job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level field biologist roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one with minimal supervision. Conservation tech startups and environmental consulting firms occasionally post junior remote roles. Candidates who show independent volunteer fieldwork, species identification certifications, GIS or database skills, and strong written reporting can open doors that raw experience alone would otherwise require.
Do you need a degree for remote field biologist jobs?
Usually, yes, but the field matters more than the credential alone. Most remote employers expect at least a bachelor's in biology, ecology, environmental science, or a related discipline. Remote employers weigh demonstrated field competency, proficiency with data collection platforms, and a portfolio of independent projects alongside your degree, especially for contract and consulting roles where deliverables speak louder than transcripts.
Which industries hire the most remote field biologists?
Remote field biologist roles concentrate in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors rely on distributed teams that coordinate field staff, analysts, and project managers across large geographic areas without co-located offices.
