Lab Technician, Molecular Biology

<p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Adaptyv is building an automated lab that lets AI agents run biology experiments. </strong></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">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.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">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.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">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.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We’re growing rapidly and are hiring for talented people to scale and support the massive demand for AI-driven wet lab experimentation.</p><h2>About the Role</h2><p style="min-height:1.5em">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.</p><h2>What You'll Do</h2><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Perform molecular cloning workflows: PCR, Golden Gate and Gibson assembly, transformation, and colony screening.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Run protein expression across bacterial and/or mammalian systems, and carry out protein purification and quality control.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Execute QC of constructs and proteins (gel/capillary electrophoresis, Sanger sequencing, SDS-PAGE, and related assays).</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Run biophysical and functional characterization assays — binding kinetics, thermostability, and related readouts — to assess expressed proteins, and help bring new assays online and optimize them for throughput.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Prepare reagents, buffers, and reaction mixes according to established SOPs.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Operate and support automated liquid handling and lab automation where workflows are automated.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Track samples, inventory, and consumables to keep lab operations running uninterrupted.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Document experimental parameters and results to ensure reproducibility, traceability, and data integrity.</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">Contribute to troubleshooting, optimizing, and scaling molecular biology and protein production workflows.</p></li></ul><h2>What We're Looking For</h2><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em">BSc / MSc in molecular biology, biotechnology, or a rele
