The Role
About the company
Output has built a biological reasoning model that understands biology at the scale and complexity life actually operates. Our model independently learned the principles of molecular interactions, opening up drug treatments that were previously impossible. We’re already generating therapies that traditional approaches cannot reach. The hardest problems in both AI and biology are being solved here, and there is room for you to own one.
Output is currently in stealth, operated by a team of repeat founders and biotech veterans with multiple exits in AI x Bio, and backed by top-tier VCs including Y Combinator.
You will build the agent infrastructure that turns model capabilities into usable tools and workflows. This role owns the orchestration layer, the inference serving, the internal tooling, and the interfaces that researchers and external systems interact with.
Responsibilities
•
You will design and build the agent orchestration system that composes model capabilities into multi-step workflows, handling sequencing, state management, and error recovery
•
You will implement agent skills and tools that expose model capabilities to automated and interactive workflows
•
You will build inference infrastructure for serving models efficiently, optimizing for latency, throughput, and reliability
•
You will design and build APIs and integrations, including MCP-compatible interfaces, that allow external systems and users to interact with Output’s models
•
You will build internal tools that accelerate the research team’s work, from experiment management to evaluation pipelines
•
You will establish and maintain software engineering practices across the team: testing, CI/CD, code review, and documentation
