Scientist, Protein Expression & Purification

Lausanne, United StatesOn-site

Responsibilities

- Own purification across modalities (Protein A, IEX, SEC, and related) and the quality of the proteins we ship.

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 - Deep, hands-on expertise in mammalian protein expression and purification — CHO/HEK, and the full path from construct to purified, characterized protein. - Applied industry experience.

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'll build out protein expression and purification at Adaptyv, with a focus on mammalian systems — CHO and HEK, transient and stable.
This is the foundation the rest of the platform stands on: titers, quality, and turnaround here set the ceiling for everything downstream.
Your job is to take expression and purification from bespoke, person-dependent protocols to a robust, automated, high-throughput product.
You'll optimize and run the science hands-on, work with lab automation to scale it onto liquid handlers and automated systems, and work with the software team to track samples, capture process data, and make production observable and predictable.
WHAT YOU'LL DO - Develop, optimize, and run mammalian expression hands-on (CHO/HEK, transient and stable), pushing titer, quality, and reproducibility.
