at Adaptyvbio
United StatesHybrid
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.
- One week you might be helping an AI lab choose between de novo design and a fine-tuned model for a hard target; the next, digging into a customer's binding data to work out why a design class underperformed and what to change.
- experience with biophysical characterization techniques like SPR, BLI, nanoDSF etc is a must. - Close the loop: turn each campaign's results into sharper designs and a tighter iteration cycle. - Build trusted relationships that grow from a first project into long-term scientific partnerships. - Feed what you learn back to our product, science, and platform teams so the whole
- experience gets better. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - Protein science background. A degree and/or hands-on
- experience in protein design, computational biology, biochemistry, structural biology, or a closely related field. - Fluent in modern protein design.
- You're comfortable analyzing experimental data (Python, notebooks, basic stats) and drawing clear conclusions from messy, real-world results. - Loves working with people.
- Experience working with external partners or customers is a plus, but the core is being a great scientist who likes solving problems in the open.
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 You're a scientist on staff who works shoulder-to-shoulder with customers to help them design better proteins and get more out of every experiment.
- You sit between their design models and our lab: helping them scope a campaign, pick the right design approach for the problem, make sense of the data that comes back, and decide what to try next.
