We are a VC-backed, small, high-velocity applied research lab. We don't care about credentials; we care about proof of work, first-principles thinking, and the ability to ship.

Responsibilities

- Perform molecular cloning, construct design, and plasmid prep for high-throughput screening.

- Execute arrayed and multiplex gene-editing characterization and optimization in mammalian and primary cell models.

- Own mammalian and primary cell culture

, including transfection, cell-line engineering, and FACS.

- Assay development:

miniaturization, automation, and process improvements for high-throughput platforms.

- Drive editing safety and specificity work — off-target discovery, indel/outcome profiling — in disease-relevant contexts.

- Collaborate with computational teams to ensure modeling is biologically sound.

Requirements

- PhD in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Genetics, or related with 1–2 years relevant post-grad experience (industry preferred) —

or equivalent proof of work.

- Explicit communicator with a track record of designing interpretable experiments in complex multi-variate systems.

- Proficiency in mammalian and primary cell culture

, including transfection, cell-line engineering, and FACS.

Nice to Have





- Experience at a cell or gene therapy company.

- Experience with delivery (LNP, viral, RNP) into therapeutically relevant cells.

- Experience with protein design and screening.

- Experience cloning or building complex DNA/RNA libraries for high-throughput experimentation.

- High-throughput sequencing (SBS, Nanopore, PacBio).

Why we

- Work on the frontier of AI × Biology — creating technologies that could redefine longevity, health, and the future of our planet.

- Join a small, high-velocity team where your ideas directly shape the company's direction and breakthroughs.

- Extremely high ownership. Own what you build end to end — from idea to model/experiment to deployment.

- We operate like an applied research lab — rapid iteration, deep focus, no bureaucracy.

- Work on real problems, not toy datasets. Build, publish, and innovate at the edge of science and engineering.

- Be part of something consequential. This isn't just another startup — it's the beginning of programmable life.

We don't care about degrees or credentials — send us proof of work.

We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every single qualification.
