Careers at Virtual Labs
We're automating the world's most manual scientific workflow — and building toward a future where fewer animals produce better science. That takes unreasonable people. Maybe you.
Why Virtual Labs
Behavioral science is where drugs go to die — 90% of compounds that pass animal studies fail in human trials, often because the preclinical signal was scored by eye. We're replacing that with physics, machine vision, and standardized data. The regulatory world just tilted in our direction. The timing will never be better.
Patent-pending optics, edge AI, and a data platform — deployed in working labs, not slideware. You'll ship things researchers touch with gloved hands.
Fewer animals and sharper science isn't a side effect here — it's the product spec. Your work reduces suffering and strengthens the data at the same time.
Founder-led, launching, and small. The people who join now define the architecture, the culture, and the category. Ownership is real — in every sense.
Who We're Looking For
We hire across the full stack of the problem — from photons to publications. If you live at one of these intersections, we want to hear from you even before a formal posting exists.
Pose estimation, behavior classification, and generative models of animal behavior. You'll work on the models that make virtual control groups real.
Edge AI devices, camera systems, optics integration, and real-time acquisition — instruments designed for machine vision, not for humans.
MouseOS — the cloud analysis platform, data pipelines, and the standardized schema that ties every device into one dataset.
Assay design, validation studies, and scientific rigor. You've run the assays we automate — and you know exactly what's wrong with how they're scored today.
Scientific sales, customer success, and the operational backbone of a company shipping hardware, software, and science at once.
How We Work
We're founder-led, scientist-heavy, and allergic to theater. Decisions are made on data, disagreement is welcome when it comes with reasoning, and everyone is close enough to the mission to see their work land in a real lab.
