Full Job Description
About Plasmidsaurus Plasmidsaurus is on a mission to accelerate new cures and promote a healthier planet by unlocking a new level of productivity for scientists. 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. ROLE OVERVIEW R&D is the engine behind Plasmidsaurus's long-term growth. As a New Product Scientist, you will help define what RNA sequencing looks like next. Your work will create entirely new capabilities for customers, opening new applications, expanding our product portfolio, and shaping how scientists use sequencing to solve problems. This is a highly autonomous product development role for a scientist who wants to build, not maintain. You will identify promising opportunities, design and test new approaches, and turn successful concepts into scalable products. The path from idea to customer impact is short, and the best ideas can quickly become products used by scientists around the world. We're looking for someone who is excited by unanswered questions, moves quickly from hypothesis to experiment, and wants to contribute directly to the technologies that drive Plasmidsaurus' nex
