Bioengineer / Molecular Biologist

Lausanne, United StatesOn-site

Responsibilities

Troubleshoot when proteins don't express, misfold, or aggregate. - Design and execute DNA synthesis and assembly protocols: PCR, Golden Gate, Gibson.
Improve yield, fidelity, and throughput. - Develop new assays or adapt existing ones for the platform - thermostability, developability, enzyme activity, or whatever the next customer need demands. - Run experiments yourself.

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 WE'RE LOOKING FOR - MSc or PhD in molecular biology, biochemistry, bioengineering, or a related field.
Hands-on depth matters most - years at the bench doing real molecular biology counts more than the degree title. - Practical protein expression and purification skills.
Experience with DNA synthesis, cloning, or assembly methods (PCR, Golden Gate, Gibson). High-throughput

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.
ABOUT THE ROLE This is a hands-on research role in our biology and production team.
You'll work on the science that underpins everything Adaptyv does: developing and optimizing protein expression systems, running molecular biology workflows, and pushing the boundaries of what we can produce and characterize at scale.
We express proteins at high volume across cell-free and cell-based systems, run DNA synthesis and assembly at high throughput, and characterize binding, stability, and function using BLI, SPR, and enzymatic assays.
