Remote X Ray Crystallography Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Bioinformatics Engineer - Proteomics
As molecular data generation and frontier model intelligence grows, 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 Bioinformatics Engineer to join our Proteomics team 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 proteomic data, working across end-to-end data analysis workflows from instrument 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:

• Proteomic data QC → analysis
• NGS-Based Proteomics
• Liquid Chromatograph / Mass Spectrometry
• Protein Sequencing
• Single-molecule proteomics
• Affinity-targeted assays
• X-Ray Crystallography
• Spatial proteomics
• Clinical interpretation of proteomics data

Requirements

• 3+ years hands-on experience with proteomics or proteomics data
• Proficiency in Python and/or R

Culture @ Latch
How we work. Genuinely flexible schedules - we just ask that you communicate when you're coming in later than usual. We care most about hard work and output. We're respectfully opinionated, it will always be us against problems, not each other. Optimize for each other's time and bring solutions, not just problems. You'll join a bench suited to your expertise, but we value cross-domain learning and interoperability across teams.
