Job Description
About Becoming
Becoming is building Developmental Intelligence: AI for predicting how organisms change over time.
Most experimental systems fail when metabolic demands become too high. We are building systems that don’t — enabling sustained, controllable biological processes over long time horizons so that development, adaptation, and failure can be observed, perturbed, and predicted.
Physiology is central to this effort. Without stable, well-characterized physiological function, long-horizon prediction is impossible.
The Role
We’re always interested in meeting exceptional people, even when there isn’t a specific role listed that fits your background. If you believe your experience could meaningfully contribute to our work across engineering, research, product, or operations, we’d like to hear from you. Share a brief note about what you do, what you’ve built, and where you think you could have the most impact.We review open applications on an ongoing basis and will reach out if there’s a potential match.
Who You Are
You are someone who:
Operates with high agency — you identify what needs to be measured and why
Takes ownership of outcomes, not just data collection
Brings high energy to complex, dynamic biological systems
Acts with high integrity — you are honest about uncertainty, limits, and tradeoffs
Communicates directly and clearly, especially when systems are not behaving as expected
Is self-aware about your strengths and gaps, proactively fills them and open to feedback
Thinks like a systems integrator, not a siloed specialist
Is comfortable working where physiology, engineering, and modeling intersect
Competitive salary and meaningful equity
Full benefits
High-trust, high-ownership environment
Rapid growth in scope and responsibility
