Founding Chief Scientific Officer
Exonic (YC F25)
This is not a traditional CSO role. I’m looking for an unusually high-agency, ambitious, and entrepreneurial scientist and operator. You will work with me as a founding partner to build Exonic into a category-defining biotechnology company.
Exonic trains frontier AI foundation models for programmable genomics, with a current focus on:
- synthetic regulatory DNA
- cell-type targeting
- biomanufacturing
We’ve generated strong in vitro results with synthetic regulatory elements and are scaling our experimental platform in Dogpatch, San Francisco.
The ideal candidate is strong at pitching on high-stakes calls, inventing next-generation high-throughput experiments, recruiting, or troubleshooting in the lab at midnight.
Requirements:
- PhD in a biological field
- Senior leadership experience at a top biopharma or biotech company
- Has cut their teeth in the lab
- Evidence of outlier, exceptional ability and grit
- High integrity, low ego
This role will come with major, partner-level equity in Exonic.
