Role Description
A-Alpha Bio is seeking a Head of Product to own our Atlas software platform: the web application, SDK, and APIs through which customers design experiments, access licensed datasets, and integrate them into machine learning workflows. In this role, you’ll turn the vision set by our commercial leadership into a platform that delivers on that vision: owning product definition and delivery, as well as technical adoption and utilization. This is a hands-on, player-coach role and the first product hire for Atlas.

In 2018, A-Alpha Bio spun out of the University of Washington’s Institute for Protein Design and Center for Synthetic Biology – both communities filled with brilliant and highly entrepreneurial scientists. Since the company’s inception, we have built and scaled AlphaSeq, our high-throughput platform for quantitatively measuring protein-protein interactions at unprecedented scale. What began as a technology for generating large, standardized affinity datasets has grown into a broader data engine for AI-driven protein engineering. New members of the team should expect a fast-paced, highly dynamic, and interdisciplinary work environment. We are building a diverse, meritocratic, and supportive team that shares our values of speaking the truth, shooting for the moon, taking the reins, playing for the team, and improving the world.
A-Alpha Bio is headquartered in a custom designed lab and office space in downtown Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. We are fortunate to be situated in a region that is renowned for its premier outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, climbing, skiing, kayaking, sailing, and more. At A-Alpha, you’ll find many who love the outdoors, but also gamers, amateur chefs, explorers, sports fans, bakers, crafters, photographers, brewers, jetsetters, animal lovers, and artists. Whatever your passions, you belong at A-Alpha Bio!
Biologics discovery via high-throughput affinity screening
A-Alpha Bio helps drug developers accelerate discovery of biologics, which are therapeutic proteins. Its platform rapidly and quantitatively measures millions of protein–protein binding affinities, enabling simultaneous characterization of how a library of proteins binds to many targets. This allows screening antagonists across full interaction networks and identifying biologics with specificity to multiple targets. Revenue comes from service contracts, licenses, and collaborative partnerships with pharmaceutical and biotech firms. The company differentiates itself by providing a scalable, quantitative binding-measurement platform that can profile binding across large target networks, supporting fast, targeted discovery. Its goal is to advance drug discovery by delivering high-precision binding data to enable the design of specific, effective biologics.
