Job description

About Tahoe Therapeutics

Tahoe Therapeutics is a biotechnology company working on building the ground truth for biological superintelligence. Our Mosaic platform is the first to make in vivo data generation scalable, with single-cell resolution, allowing us to map how drugs affect patient-derived cells in the body across a wide range of biological contexts. We are building the world’s largest in vivo single-cell perturbation atlas — and using it to train multimodal foundation models that learn the context-dependent nature of gene function, disease progression, and drug response. By combining cutting-edge machine learning with the most biologically relevant datasets ever assembled in drug discovery, our mission is to find better drugs, faster — and bring them to more patients who need them.
