Full Job Description
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. But they can't run the experiments themselves - that's still a manual, months-long process. 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. This is a rare chance to help advance some of the most important work happening in biotech today. Our automated lab is powered by a deep software + hardware stack: lab instruments worth millions of USD reverse-engineered into API-controllable hardware, dozens of devices orchestrated through complex workflows, full observability on everything that happens in the lab, processing pipelines for messy physical-world data, and AI systems that troubleshoot production results and accelerate assay development. We’re growing rapidly and are hiring for talented people to scale and support the massive demand for AI-driven wet lab experimentation. 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. You'll work hands-on with automation and liquid handling, helping turn manual protocols into reliable, high-throughput processes. RESPONSIBILITIES - Perform molecular cloning workflows: PCR, Golden Gate and Gibson assembly, transformation, and colony screening. - Run protein expression across bacterial and/or mammalian systems, and carry out protein purification and quality control. - Execute QC of constructs and proteins (gel/capillary electrophoresis, Sanger sequencing, SDS-PAGE, and rel
