What you'll work on

  • Designing and building NovaDDE's agent scaffolds and tool-calling infrastructure
  • Building tool interfaces that connect NovaAtom and lab systems to agent workflows
  • Creating evaluation harnesses to measure and improve agent performance on scientific tasks

What we're looking for

  • Comfortable designing APIs and abstractions that other researchers build on
  • Interest in scientific applications of AI, even without a biology background
