About

Edison Scientific builds and commercializes AI agents for science. Scientific discovery moves too slowly, and autonomous AI agents are how we intend to fix that. We're assembling a team of top researchers and engineers across AI and biology to build an AI scientist.

Role

--------

As a Forward Deployed AI Engineer, you'll be embedded directly with leading scientific R&D organizations across pharma and biotech – taking full ownership of how Edison's AI agents create value in their environment. You will deeply understand their science, their workflows, and their pain points, then determine where our platform can have the most impact.

This isn't remote support or implementation consulting. You'll be on-site and on the front lines, owning integrations, reliability, relationship cadence, and the product feedback loop end to end. You will build relationships with scientists and research leaders, identify the highest-leverage problems, and ship solutions quickly. You'll operate with a high degree of independence and serve as the bridge between what our platform can do and what the customer needs it to do, feeding insights back to our product and engineering teams to shape the roadmap. While we don’t require you to have a scientific background, we expect our engineers to be deeply curious about science and to be excited to build and drive value for our partners.

Responsibilities

--------------------

• Translate complex scientific and operational requirements into a clear delivery roadmap, from initial discovery through scaled production deployment.
• Be embedded with R&D teams, understand their research workflows deeply, and drive...
