At insitro, we leverage the tools of modern biology to generate large, high-quality datasets optimized for machine learning, allowing us to unleash the full potential of modern computational approaches.

As the Product Manager for Lab Platform, you'll own the product vision and buildout of a software-enabled lab. High quality, accessible lab data is core to what we do, and you will coordinate the planning, capture, and management of both experiment and process data for all phases of our drug discovery workflows. This includes tools for scientists and lab operators to manage experiments and generate high dimensional data, as well as tools for robots and automated workflows. You will be responsible for the end-to-end product experience, and will work with software engineers and lab automation engineers to build and scale the data generation platform that drives our machine learning-based drug discovery.

Your responsibilities will include:
