About Us
Radical Numerics is an AI research lab building general biological intelligence. Our mission is to master the code of life, and our purpose is to reduce human suffering.
Our team created Evo, and started the field of generative genomics. Our work was featured on the cover of Science, and presented by our CEO on the main stage of TED2025. Evo was used to create the first AI gene therapy tool CRISPR-Cas9, and the first AI whole genome from scratch. Evo 2, featured in Nature, is the largest fully open source AI project across any domain.
Radical Numerics is bringing the rigor of distributed systems, model architecture, and numerics research to the challenges of biology. We’ve redesigned the foundation model training stack to turn the world’s raw scientific data (e.g. biological sequences, experiments, and physical processes), into intelligible, generative models that can expand and accelerate what humanity can understand, design, and cure.
The same generative breakthroughs that enable life-saving cures also lowers the barrier to creating engineered threats and AI-generated bioweapons. We believe these forces are inseparable. Radical Numerics was founded to develop both the power to design and the responsibility to defend.
About the Role
As Communications & Marketing Lead, you will be the person who translates our science into impact and makes our mission visible — to researchers, enterprise partners, government agencies, and the public. You'll be embedded with the scientists and engineers doing the work, close enough to understand it and skilled enough to make others understand it too.
This is an early, high-leverage hire. You won't be executing someone else's playbook — you'll be writing it.
What You'll Do
Technical Communications
Translate complex work in regulatory genomics, biological AI, and biosecurity into narratives that hold up across audiences — without losing what makes the science interesting
Support model releases, research publications, and conference presentations with documentation, summaries, and co-authored content that is precise, accessible, and compelling
Help define how Radical Numerics communicates its capabilities, risks, and mitigations to government agencies, national labs, and global health organizations — audiences for whom clarity and credibility are everything
Build and maintain internal documentation infrastructure: style guides, knowledge bases, and communication standards
Growth & Marketing
Own demand generation across email, content, events, and paid channels to drive awareness and pipeline with enterprise and government audiences
Lead Radical Numerics' presence at scientific conferences, industry events, and government forums — from logistics to messaging to post-event follow-through
Shape and sharpen our public point of view on biological AI and biosecurity, and own our social and web presence with a strong, consistent voice
Leverage modern marketing automation and analytics tools to punch above our headcount
What We're Looking For
A track record of strong technical or scientific writing — in industry, academia, a research institution, or a policy organization
3+ years in B2B marketing, growth, or communications, ideally at a technical startup or deep tech company
The ability to make hard things clear without making them wrong — you know the difference between simplifying for accessibility and oversimplifying into inaccuracy
Sound judgment about how to communicate high-stakes, sensitive, or ambiguous technical topics, including AI capabilities, biosecurity risks, and model limitations
High ownership, low ego, and a bias toward action in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
Nice to Have
A background in biology, computational science, biosecurity, or a related technical field
Experience writing for government, policy, or national security audiences
Familiarity with biological AI systems such as Evo, ESM, AlphaFold, or genomic foundation models
Published science writing, open-source documentation, or other public work we can read
Existing relationships in biosecurity, global health, or science policy communities
