About the role

Xaira Therapeutics is seeking exceptional ML/AI researchers to join the AI in Residence program, an industry alternative to a traditional postdoctoral position. You will work end-to-end on real biomedical problems, collaborating with AI scientists, research engineers, and drug discovery teams to deploy ML capabilities. The program emphasizes technical depth, independence, and strong judgment, with mentorship and opportunities to publish, contribute to open-source, or ship production systems.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
