at Adaptyvbio
Lausanne, United StatesOn-site
Responsibilities
- - Execute QC of constructs and proteins (gel/capillary electrophoresis, Sanger sequencing, SDS-PAGE, and related assays).
- - Document experimental parameters and results to ensure reproducibility, traceability, and data integrity.
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.
- QUALIFICATIONS - BS or MS in Biology, Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Life Science Engineering, or a related field. - At least 1 year of hands-on laboratory
- experience in molecular biology (academic or industry). - Proficiency with core techniques: PCR, molecular cloning, transformation, DNA purification, and gel or capillary electrophoresis.
- BLI, SPR, ELISA, thermostability, or similar) is a plus. - Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to follow and execute protocols with precision. - Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-throughput environment. -
- Experience with laboratory automation or liquid handling systems is a plus.
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.
- ABOUT THE ROLE We're looking for a skilled Lab Technician to join our Biology team.
- You'll run our molecular biology and protein production workflows — cloning, transformation, expression, and purification — keeping high-quality, reproducible output flowing to support our protein engineering pipeline.
