at Adaptyvbio
Lausanne, United StatesOn-site
Requirements
- Adaptyv is building an automated lab thats let AI agents run biology experiments.
- We're entering the era of agentic science where AI models can now design novel proteins, propose hypotheses, and iterate on experimental results.
- We're building the infrastructure that gives AI agents access to the physical world.
- We are one of the fastest growing biotech companies, trusted by leading biopharmas, frontier AI labs, and the techbio companies pushing the field forward.
- We’re growing rapidly and are hiring for talented people to scale and support the massive demand for AI-driven wet lab experimentation.
- WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own complete operational workstreams end-to-end — you're accountable for outcomes, not tasks - Use AI tools to rebuild workflows that are still too manual, messy, or slow, and turn them into systems that run without you - Own customer onboarding and help keep our growing customer base happy as we scale - Run finance and administrative operations, working closely with our accountants and service providers - Manage supplier and service-provider relationships, including negotiation and
- A background in biology is not a hard requirement.
- You spot problems before anyone asks, take action, and don't stop until they're solved - Entrepreneurial and self-directed — you're comfortable with ambiguity and no playbook, and you'd rather build the system than just run the task - Strong with AI tools, especially Claude Code or Codex.
Additional details
- But they can't run the experiments themselves - that's still a manual, months-long process.
- This is a rare chance to help advance some of the most important work happening in biotech today.
- We are significantly expanding our lab this year, onboarding more and more customers every week, and building the systems needed to keep the company running smoothly as we scale.
- We are looking for a Founders Associate to own and build the operational backbone of the company as we scale.
- This is a high-ownership generalist role: you'll take entire problems and run them end-to-end, from messy first draft to a process that runs cleanly without you.
- You'll move between finance, customer operations, hiring, supplier relationships, and lab logistics — owning whatever is most important that week, not just supporting it.
