Bioinformatics Engineering Consultant – Spatial & AI Training

(1099 Contract, Onsite SF)

We're working with a world‑class engineering team building biological LLMs that can execute pipelines, interpret results, and reason about data. These models only become reliable when trained on real expert judgment: workflows, QC thresholds, and failure diagnoses.

Your job is to generate the high‑signal training data that powers these agentic biology systems.

• End-to-end analysis of one or more spatial platforms:
  Seeker/Trekker (Slide‑seq), MERFISH, DBiT‑seq, Xenium, Visium, Stereo‑seq, Geo Mx, Cos Mx, or similar assays.
• 3+ datasets completed from raw data to final biological insight for publications or real industry decisions.
• Working understanding of kit‑specific numerical sanity checks
  , e.g., QC thresholds, and when results deviate from expectation.
• Familiarity with key spatial computational tools (cell segmentation, cell typing, ligand–receptor analysis).
• Strong grasp of experimental design
  , hypothesis generation, and interpreting spatial‑omics papers.
• Working knowledge of statistical inference (tests, confidence intervals, estimators).
• Working knowledge of high‑dimensional algorithms (PCA, neighborhood graphs, UMAP).

The impact is high. If this describes your background, we want to work with you.
