Our sequencing services are used daily by thousands of innovators, including Nobel laureates, Fortune 100 pharma, and over 70,000 scientists. We began by revolutionizing plasmid sequencing, making it exponentially cheaper and faster, with innovative sequencing technologies and a global network of laboratories that turn samples into answers in hours, not weeks. Now we are expanding that same disruptive model across all of genomics. With the launch of our new RNA-seq service, we are taking a bold step toward our vision to sequence everything, providing scientists everywhere with faster, simpler, and more affordable access to the data that powers discovery. Every team member at Plasmidsaurus plays a crucial role in driving the future of biotech research. Together, we are building the world’s most efficient sequencing engine that operates overnight, scales globally, and helps scientists make breakthroughs faster than ever before.

You will focus on the sequencing results experience where most of our value reaches the customer. - Work with our engineers and bioinformaticians to turn complex workflows into intuitive software that makes the user think “why did this not exist before?” WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - You have a portfolio that shows range and craft. We want to see things that have made it to production. - A track record of operating semi-autonomously: ideally as a founding designer, senior IC, design lead
