Manifold Bio is a platform biotechnology company pioneering AI-guided protein design and massively multiplexed in vivo screening to unlock tissue-targeted medicines and organism-scale models of living systems. Using proprietary molecular barcoding technology we screen hundreds of thousands of protein designs simultaneously in living systems producing in vivo-validated datasets at a scale no one else can match. The datasets power our computational models which leads to better drug designs creating a flywheel that gets stronger with every campaign. Our team of protein engineers biologists and computational scientists worksacross this full stack to pursue programs both internally and with leading pharma companies.
Position
Manifold Bio is seeking an exceptional Computational Scientist to join our growing Quantitative Biology team. You will work closely with experimental scientists to design and analyze highly multiplexed protein library experiments. You will specifically be working with traditional phage and yeast display readouts as well as other proprietary display data. You will be expected to own and independently advance projects in areas related to your deep expertise such as protein design DNA library design or machine learning/biophysical modeling from MPRA data. You will work closely with our Head of Platform and our other computational scientists to onboard new capabilities that advance the M-Design platform for data-driven engineering of drugs with desired properties.
Responsibilities
Invent new quantitative protein engineering assays working with experimental scientists
Build robust data pipelines with rich metrics and statistics for real-time dataset analysis and reporting
Perform analysis and hit calling support contributing new insights to active projects
Improve library design workflows to best co-optimize antibody libraries for enhanced performance
Write and contribute robust code in shared libraries for common protein design tasks
Collaborate on designing high-throughput experiments and analyze/interpret results from phage display (biopanning phi-seq in vivo) and yeast display platforms
Deliver high-quality data reporting through slides and documentation for cross-functional teams
Proactively share findings with colleagues through excellent documentation and discussions
Required Qualifications
PhD and/or 4 years of equivalent experience in computational biology bioinformatics protein engineering antibody engineering or similar field working with biological sequences
Rich experience with Python agentic coding data pipeline development
Familiarity with version control test-driven development and Unix computing
Strong antibody engineering background with first-hand experience in antibody design optimization or discovery
Experience with massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs) and high-throughput screening data analysis
Experience designing DNA libraries for binders DMS phage display or equivalent high-throughput experiments
Experience working with Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data from library-based experiments
Strong understanding of statistics fundamentals and data analysis methodologies
Outstanding written and verbal communication skills for cross-functional collaboration
Preferred Qualifications
Intuition or exposure to best practices in software/data engineering
Industry experience in antibody therapeutic development or biotechnology R&D
Track record of developing computational tools or pipelines adopted by experimental teams
Experience mentoring junior scientists or leading cross-functional project teams
Publications or patents in antibody engineering protein design or high-throughput screening methods
Familiarity with cloud computing platforms (AWS GCP) and containerization technologies
This Role Might Be Perfect For You If
You thrive in collaborative environments where computational insights directly guide experimental decisions
Youre energized by translating complex datasets into actionable recommendations for drug discovery teams
You enjoy building robust production-quality tools that others rely on for critical decisions
Youre passionate about the therapeutic potential of engineered antibodies and want to accelerate their development
You love working at the intersection of cutting-edge computational methods and innovative experimental platforms
Base Salary Range: $00
This reflects the typical offer range for this role based on experience role scope and internal equity. Final compensation decisions are made using a consistent leveling framework and consider the candidates experience interview performance and expected impact.
This role is eligible for:
