About the Role
As Technical Writer at Radical Numerics, you will translate complex scientific work into clear, precise, and consequential documentation, publications, blog posts, and technical narratives for researchers, government partners, and the public. You will collaborate directly with scientists and engineers to understand their work and shape their ideas into impactful content.
Responsibilities
- Translate complex work in genomics, biosecurity, and biological AI into narratives that hold up across audiences — researchers, developers, policymakers, and the broader public — without losing what makes the science interesting.
- Support external communications including model release documentation, research summaries, policy briefs, and partner-facing materials where technical accuracy is mission-critical.
- Collaborate with scientists and engineers on conference presentations and manuscripts, helping them communicate findings in ways that are precise, accessible, and compelling.
- Help define how Radical Numerics communicates its capabilities, risks, and mitigations to government agencies, national labs, and global health organizations.
- Build and maintain internal documentation infrastructure: style guides, knowledge bases, and communication standards that help the team stay coherent as it grows.
Requirements
- A track record of strong technical or scientific writing — in industry, academia, a research institution, or a policy organization.
- The ability to make hard things clear without making them wrong.
- Sound judgment about how to communicate high-stakes, sensitive, or ambiguous technical topics — including AI capabilities, biosecurity risks, and model limitations — accurately and responsibly.
- Comfort working inside a fast-moving research environment where the science is still being figured out, the priorities shift, and the ability to ask good questions matters as much as the ability to write good sentences.

About the Company
- Radical Numerics is an AI research lab building general biological intelligence.
- Our mission is to master the code of life, and our purpose is to reduce human suffering.
- Our team created Evo, and started the field of generative genomics.
- Our work was featured on the cover of Science, and presented by our CEO on the main stage of TED2025.
- Evo was used to create the first AI gene therapy tool CRISPR-Cas9, and the first AI whole genome from scratch.
- Evo 2, featured in Nature, is the largest fully open source AI project across any domain.
- Radical Numerics is bringing the rigor of distributed systems, model architecture, and numerics research to the challenges of biology.
- We’ve redesigned the foundation model training stack to turn the world’s raw scientific data (e.g. biological sequences, experiments, and physical processes), into intelligible, generative models that can expand and accelerate what humanity can understand, design, and cure.
- The same generative breakthroughs that enable life-saving cures also lowers the barrier to creating engineered threats and AI-generated bioweapons.
- We believe these forces are inseparable.
- Radical Numerics was founded to develop both the power to design and the responsibility to defend.
