Lifescience Scientist
Job Summary
We are building the next generation of AI Native products for life sciences moving Patsnap beyond a traditional SaaS platform into an intelligent product ecosystem powered by MCPs Skills and Agents. Our goal is to embed Patsnap directly into our customers daily workflows and help them complete complex research clinical BD competitive intelligence and regulatory tasks more effectively.
We are looking for a domain knowledge scientist who sits at the intersection of deep life sciences expertise and product building.
This is not a traditional PM role. Your job is to translate complex messy real-world life sciences problems into focused usable products that customers want to open every day.
If you have a PhD background in life sciences bioinformatics computational biology or equivalent industry experience and you have often felt that existing tools are almost good enough but not quite right this is an opportunity to build the tools you always wished existed.
Build PLG products on the Patsnap platform
- Identify high-leverage use cases across clinical development translational medicine business development competitive intelligence and regulatory affairs.
- Turn Patsnaps deep data assets including clinical trials sequences targets deals and patents into MCPs Skills and Agents that solve real workflow pain points.
- Launch quickly in research preview mode so users can try new capabilities within weeks then continuously iterate based on feedback.
- Spend meaningful time with researchers scientists BD teams clinical operations teams and other life sciences users.
- Go beyond what users say they want and uncover what they are truly trying to accomplish.
- Break down workflows until you can identify the last 200 meters where existing tools stop and users start struggling.
- Decide what to build what not to build and where Patsnap has a unique right to win.
Design capabilities for different user groups
- Understand how different users need different views of the same underlying data. For example a clinical operations team and a BD leader may look at the same clinical trial but need completely different insights.
- Design Skills and Agents that feel tailored to each workflow while maintaining consistency across the broader platform.
- Use your industry judgment and understanding of PatSnaps platform capabilities to make smart prioritization decisions.
Guide PM and marketing teams
- Act as a domain authority for the life sciences product line.
- Help PM teams develop a strong sense of what good looks like in this market.
- Work closely with marketing to ensure positioning content and go-to-market strategy reflect the products real value not just surface-level features.
- Help the broader team build product taste not just product requirements.
- PhD in life sciences bioinformatics computational biology or a related field or equivalent deep industry experience in pharma biotech clinical development translational medicine BD or competitive intelligence.
- Genuine curiosity about how AI will reshape life sciences workflows and a belief that Agents will change how work gets done in this industry.
- A track record of delivering something end to end such as a research paper tool internal product data pipeline or workflow solution.
- Strong product intuition: when looking at an early prototype you can quickly judge whether it is likely to work for real users.
- Comfort working in uncertainty moving quickly and building products at the edge of current model capabilities.
Nice to Have
- Hands-on experience with LLMs Agent frameworks MCP or prompt engineering.
- Experience working with structured biomedical data such as clinical trial databases sequence databases target/disease ontologies or deal and patent data.
- Experience designing products for technical end users including researchers developers data scientists or scientific -source contributions technical writing public projects or a visible portfolio of work.
You will not simply write requirements or manage a roadmap. You will help define what the next generation of life sciences AI products should feel like.
You will bring domain expertise product judgment and customer understanding together to build tools that are not just powerful but genuinely useful in the daily work of scientists analysts and decision-makers.
