Scientist

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.ResponsibilitiesPerform 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.RequirementsPhD in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Genetics, or related with 1–2 years relevant post-grad experience (industry preferred) — or equivalent proof of work.Clear 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 HaveExperience 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 weWork 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.
