What is the difference between Remote Phylogenetics vs Remote Bioinformatics?

AspectRemote PhylogeneticsRemote Bioinformatics
Required credentialsTypically a Ph.D. or Master’s in Biology, Genetics, or related fieldOften a Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Biology, or related discipline
Work environmentPrimarily research-focused, analyzing evolutionary relationships using genetic dataData analysis, software development, and managing biological datasets
Industry usageAcademic research, evolutionary biology, conservation projects
Common search intentUnderstanding evolutionary relationships remotelyAnalyzing biological data and developing computational tools remotely

Remote Phylogenetics and Remote Bioinformatics share overlapping skills in genetics and data analysis but differ mainly in focus. Phylogenetics centers on evolutionary relationships, while Bioinformatics covers broader biological data analysis and software development. Both roles are vital in biological research and often require similar educational backgrounds, but their applications and daily tasks vary.

Job description

As molecular data generation and frontier model intelligence grow, new approaches to data analysis are needed across the biotech industry. Latch is building intelligent, high-performance agents for biological data analysis, empowering over 5,000 scientists across 150+ R&D labs to handle data from instrument-to-insights.
We're seeking a BioEngineer for Biosurveillance/Infectious Disease Genomics to join our surveillance bench, working at the frontier of what artificial intelligence can achieve in biology.
About the Role
You will contribute to our technical approach to teaching agents how to understand and handle complex infectious disease surveillance and molecular epidemiology data, working across end-to-end analysis workflows from sequencing outputs to real scientific decisions.
You will work as part of a team of software engineers and biologists building datasets to teach these agents to reason better across:
  • Sequencing QC → taxonomic classification
  • Metagenomic assembly & analysis
  • Variant calling & phylogenetics
  • Wastewater & environmental genomics
  • Molecular epidemiology & population-level characterization
Requirements
  • 5+ years hands-on experience with infectious disease surveillance, metagenomics, or molecular epidemiology data
  • Proficiency in Python and/or R
Compensation & Logistics
  • Full-time, in-person (can be remote)
  • OTE $120k-$180k, performance-based, based on individual's expertise
  • Free meals (lunch and dinner)
