BigHat Biosciences is looking for a hands-on, bench-driven scientist to drive antibody developability assessments that advance our Milliner Platform for AI-designed therapeutics. This is a primarily lab-based role where you'll spend the majority of your time at the bench executing and innovating on our developability workflows.
Job Responsibility
Lead developability R&D projects: design, optimize, and execute high throughput developability assays to expand BigHat's toolkit
Drive developability assessments (purity, stability, tolerability, biophysical properties) across programs, with strong attention to data interpretation and organization
Support late-stage characterization and IND-enabling studies, including formulation screening, stress testing, peptide mapping, and simulated administration studies, to rank and advance lead candidates
Serve as the Developability lead within project teams, guiding experimental strategy to address liabilities and hit program milestones
Work cross-functionally to automate and train colleagues on new and existing methods, build QC frameworks for monitoring assay performance, and adapt workflows to existing LIMS infrastructure
Proactively and independently analyze data, interpret scientific findings, propose next steps, and broadcast findings clearly across the organization
Requirements
PhD in Biochemistry or relevant discipline with 3+ year(s) of industry experience
exceptional non-PhD candidates with deep bench experience will be considered
Strong background in biophysical and analytical characterization of antibodies and antibody fragments: SEC, HIC, CE-SDS, DLS, DSF, ELISA, LC-MS, including method development and optimization
Track record of translating complex data into clear results and recommended actions
Experience with protein structures and antibody engineering
Enthusiastic about learning and onboarding new technologies to expand capabilities and improve work quality, timelines, throughput or cost
Nice to have
Prior experience working in a dynamic start-up environment
Working as a project lead
Working with automation
