The Impact You’ll Make
As a Staff Product Manager for Multi-omics, you’ll play a critical role in the evolution of our multi-omics platform. One of Recursion’s key differentiators in the TechBio space is our ability to decode biology through massive, relatable datasets. We have amassed over 65 petabytes of proprietary data – spanning phenomics, transcriptomics, and ADME – generated by our automated labs at a scale of up to 2.2 million experiments per week. Unlike traditional drug discovery that relies on limited hypotheses based on known biology, this high-throughput, multi-modal engine allows us to train machine learning models that construct an atlas of biology, revealing novel relationships and inferring mechanisms of action that human bias might miss.
You will be responsible for the evolution of this engine alongside a strong team of cross-functional collaborators. You will partner with leaders to build concrete plans to shift our focus from ultra high-throughput data generation to autonomous science – enabling a system where AI agents not only consume our maps but actively request the specific experiments needed to expand them and prosecute drug discovery programs.
In this role, you will:
- Build and execute the product strategy that will usher our multi-omics capabilities into the next era of autonomous science. This could include:
- Defining the digital interfaces necessary for AI agents to request multi-modal experiments and reason across the resulting data
- Defining and prioritizing operational changes to enable our labs to more efficiently and seamlessly execute increasingly complex experiments
- Shifting the definition of success from the scale of data generation to a measure of decisional data generated, partnering with AI/ML teams and drug discovery teams to build tight feedback loops between our physical labs and the next wave of cutting-edge models.
- Bridge science and technology: Act as the translator between high-throughput operations, drug discovery program leaders, software engineering, and AI/ML scientists and engineers to ensure our multi-omics roadmap directly enables the discovery of novel biology and de-risks clinical programs while realizing our autonomous science vision
- Shepherd coordinated delivery of solutions across interdisciplinary teams
- Evangelize high-dimensional multi-modal data capabilities internally to Recursion and to external partners
The Team You’ll Join
You will join the Multi-omic Insights component, a cross-disciplinary team responsible for Recursion's core data layers: Phenomics, Transcriptomics, and ADME. This team sits at the intersection of the physical and digital worlds, combining lab operations (including tissue culture, compound management, phenomics, transcriptomics, and ADME), automation engineering, software engineering, and data science to generate high quality, relatable data that feeds into our machine learning models to identify and prosecute novel drug discovery targets.
The Experience You’ll Need
- Fluency in genomics or other high-dimensional biological data types. Bonus if you’ve spent time in a lab and understand what it takes to execute successful experiments.
- 5+ years product management experience with a proven track record of delivering complex solutions across multidisciplinary teams in the genomics, diagnostics, pharma, or healthcare space
- Strong written and oral communication skills with the ability to distill complex concepts and use data to tell a story
- An ability and passion to connect day-to-day lab operations to higher level product and company strategy
Working Location & Compensation:
This is an office-based, hybrid position at our US headquarters located in Salt Lake City, Utah. Employees are expected to work in the office at least 50% of the time.
At Recursion, we believe that every employee should be compensated fairly. Based on the skill and level of experience required for this role, the estimated current annual base range for this role is $141,400 - $191,100. You will also be eligible for an annual bonus and equity compensation, as well as a comprehensive benefits package.

The Values We Hope You Share:
- We act boldly with integrity. We are unconstrained in our thinking, take calculated risks, and push boundaries, but never at the expense of ethics, science, or trust.
- We care deeply and engage directly. Caring means holding a deep sense of responsibility and respect - showing up, speaking honestly, and taking action.
- We learn actively and adapt rapidly. Progress comes from doing. We experiment, test, and refine, embracing iteration over perfection.
- We move with urgency because patients are waiting. Speed isn’t about rushing but about moving the needle every day.
- We take ownership and accountability. Through ownership and accountability, we enable trust and autonomy—leaders take accountability for decisive action, and teams own outcomes together.
- We are One Recursion. True cross-functional collaboration is about trust, clarity, humility, and impact. Through sharing, we can be greater than the sum of our individual capabilities.
Our values underpin the employee experience at Recursion. They are the character and personality of the company demonstrated through how we communicate, support one another, spend our time, make decisions, and celebrate collectively.
