Back to jobs Scientist II, Display Technologies South San Francisco, California, United States Apply About Xaira Therapeutics Xaira is an innovative biotech startup focused on leveraging AI to transform drug discovery and development. The company is leading the development of generative AI models to design protein and antibody therapeutics, enabling the creation of medicines against historically hard-to-drug molecular targets. It is also developing foundation models for biology and disease to enable better target elucidation and patient stratification. Collectively, these technologies aim to continually enable the identification of novel therapies and to improve success in drug development. Xaira is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, and London. About the Role We are looking for an accomplished protein biochemist to own phage display campaigns end-to-end within our Display Technologies group. You bring deep hands-on display expertise and the judgment to design selection strategies, troubleshoot challenging targets, and turn campaigns into high-quality datasets that feed AI antibody design. You take pride in rigorous bench execution, you think critically about experimental design, and you are comfortable working against difficult target classes—including membrane proteins presented in cell-based expression systems or recombinant formats. Beyond your own bench work, you will help raise the level of the group: mentoring associate scientists, setting technical standards, and partnering with computational and engineering colleagues to scale data generation. You thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where pushing the boundaries of what is possible is the norm. Responsibilities Independently design, execute, and own phage display campaigns from library through panning and hit validation, across both soluble antigens and membrane-protein targets (e.g., GPCRs) presented in cell-based expression systems or recombinant formats. Develop and optimize selection strategies for difficult target classes, including troubleshooting antigen production, presentation, and quality control. Design and build display libraries, applying strong molecular biology fundamentals (cloning, mutagenesis, assembly) to generate high-quality, diverse repertoires. Design and run clonal-level affinity and functional characterization—including flow cytometry (FACS), ELISA, and SPR—and help adapt these assays to higher-throughput and automated formats. Partner with computational and ML colleagues to generate, structure, and quality-control data at scale for model training and evaluation. Mentor associate scientists on display workflows, experimental design, and lab best practices; contribute to technical standards within the group. Contribute to and lead the preparation of technical reports, presentations, and documentation of methods and results. Qualifications PhD in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Immunology, Protein Engineering, or a related field, with 2–4 years of relevant industry experience. Significant hands-on expertise with antibody/protein discovery by phage display, including library design, build, panning/selection, and hit validation. Strong molecular biology skills for library construction, including cloning, mutagenesis, and assembly, with the rigor to build high-quality, diverse libraries. Hands-on flow cytometry (FACS) experience is required, including data interpretation and gating strategy. Demonstrated ability to run campaigns independently and troubleshoot challenging targets; experience with membrane proteins (e.g., GPCRs) in cell-based expression systems or recombinant formats is strongly preferred. Strong working knowledge of antibody binding and characterization assays (e.g., ELISA) and proficiency in core molecular and cell biology techniques, including mammalian cell culture. Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with meticulous attention to detail and a rigorous, organized approach to experimental design and documentation. Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex scientific concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, multidisciplinary team, with a track record of fostering knowledge-sharing and supporting more junior colleagues. Nice to Have Experience with label-free affinity characterization (SPR, BLI/Octet). Experience with alternative display formats (yeast, mammalian, or ribosome/mRNA display). Experience with lab automation (e.g., Hamilton, Tecan, or similar liquid handling). Working knowledge of scripting for analysis of large datasets (e.g., Python or R). Compensation Annual We offer a competitive compensation and benefits package, seeking to provide an open, flexible, and friendly work environment to empower employees and provide them with a platform to develop their long-term careers. A Summary of Benefits is available for all applicants. We offer a competitive package that includes base salary, bonus, and equity.

Mercor is creating a new category of work where expertise powers AI advancement. Achieving this requires an ambitious, fast-paced and deeply committed team. You’ll work alongside researchers, operators, and AI companies at the forefront of shaping the systems that are redefining society. Mercor is a profitable Series C company valued at $10 billion. We work in-person five days a week in our San Francisco, NYC, or London offices. ABOUT THE ROLE In the Research Operations role at Mercor, you will work at the intersection of engineering and applied AI research. This role will own multi-million-dollar data programs end to end with responsibilities to: - Reason about opportunities for frontier coding models, and translate that into the data that will make it stronger. - Shape how data gets produced, including human-expert workflows, synthetic generation pipelines, and model-in-the-loop systems. - Turn designs into scaled, high-quality data pipelines and own deliveries to customers. - Build deep relationships with lab researchers and become the person they trust to tell them what data they actually need. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, a STEM field, or an equivalent technical discipline. - At least two years of experience in software development or a forward deployed engineering role. - A track record of running complex, high-stakes projects end to end, and genuine energy for large-scale execution and gritty process optimization under pressure. - Strong analytical and communication skills; comfortable owning high-profile relationships with technical customers. NICE TO HAVE - Experience designing scalable data or automation pipelines - Research fluency: connecting model/benchmark literature to what data would move a frontier model; having created a benchmark or published analysis of model behavior. - Backgrounds that often fit: data scientists, software engineers, or forward deployed engineers who love operating, technical PMs, research engineers, or strong generalist operators with real technical range. Backgrounds from consulting, finance, or high-growth startups can work if paired with real technical fluency. BENEFITS - Bi-annual performance bonus structure - Generous equity grant vested over 4 years - Up to $15k Relocation bonus - $10K proximity bonus (if you live within 0.5 miles of our office) - $1.5K monthly stipend for meals - Free Equinox membership - $200 monthly laundry reimbursement - $200 monthly personal wellness reimbursement - Health, Dental, Vision insurance
