About Becoming

Becoming is building Developmental Intelligence: AI for predicting how organisms change over time.

Most experimental systems fail when metabolic demands become too high. We are building systems that don’t — enabling sustained, controllable biological processes over long time horizons so that development, adaptation, and failure can be observed, perturbed, and predicted.

Physiology is central to this effort. Without stable, well-characterized physiological function, long-horizon prediction is impossible.

The Role

We’re always interested in meeting exceptional people, even when there isn’t a specific role listed that fits your background. If you believe your experience could meaningfully contribute to our work across engineering, research, product, or operations, we’d like to hear from you. Share a brief note about what you do, what you’ve built, and where you think you could have the most impact.We review open applications on an ongoing basis and will reach out if there’s a potential match.

Who You Are

You are someone who:

• Operates with high agency — you identify what needs to be measured and why
• Takes ownership of outcomes, not just data collection
• Brings high energy to complex, dynamic biological systems
• Acts with high integrity — you are honest about uncertainty, limits, and tradeoffs
• Communicates directly and clearly, especially when systems are not behaving as expected
• Is self-aware about your strengths and gaps, proactively fills them and open to feedback
• Thinks like a systems integrator, not a siloed specialist
• Is comfortable working where physiology, engineering, and modeling intersect

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity
• Full benefits
• High-trust, high-ownership environment
• Rapid growth in scope and responsibility
