Job description

The Role: 

This unique entry-level Research Associate I position offers the rare chance to work across two core teams, Analytics and Protein Science. You'll gain hands-on experience supporting protein development, purification, and analysis, while learning how these disciplines work together to drive innovation in precision fermentation. 

This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who thrives in the lab, loves variety, and wants to learn fast in a collaborative, mission-driven environment.

What you'll accomplish

  • Generate data through basic biochemistry/molecular biology techniques (including but not limited to BCA, SDS-PAGE)
  • Operate and maintain analytical equipment (e.g., HPLC-UV/RI and Combustion Analyzer, dynamic light scatterer, FPLC-UV, fluorescence/UV plate reader) 
  • Support protein characterization workflows through lab-scale protein powder generation involving bench-scale downstream processing unit operations (microfiltration, ultrafiltration, diafiltration)
  • Prepare samples, reagents, and buffers to support cross-functional experiments
  • Collaborate with scientists and engineers across teams to troubleshoot and iterate quickly as part of our Design, Build, Test, and Learn pipeline
  • Present results to the technology organization in regular meetings of scientific teams
  • Maintain lab organization, cleanliness, and proper documentation

 What you bring (required)

    • Bachelor's Degree in Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, or a related field
    • Some hands-on lab experience (academic, internship, or industry), with an emphasis on analytical instrumentation familiarity
    • A detail-oriented mindset exemplified in experiment note-taking, report writing, and communication of experimental results to team members
    • Comfortable with basic wet lab techniques (especially pipetting with single and multichannel pipettes) and eager to learn new ones
    • Collaborative, organized, and enthusiastic about working across teams

Why you'll love it here:

  • Comprehensive benefits: 100% medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401k matching, and stock options
  • Tasty perks: Weekly catered lunches
  • Customizable options: FSA, LSA, Commuter, Pet Care, and additional life insurance
  • Work-life harmony: Flexible PTO and 10+ paid company holidays per year
  • Onsite conveniences: Free parking and unlimited gym access
  • Energizing refreshments: Unlimited sparkling water, granola bars, snacks, local coffee, and tea
  • Exciting socials: happy hours and quarterly company outings
  • Open communication: Monthly all-hands meetings and direct access to CEO and leadership
  • Ideal location: Close to Daly City BART 

Pay Range: $75,000 - $85,000

At EVERY pay ranges are subject to change and assigned to a job based on the location specific market median of similar jobs according to 3rd party salary benchmark surveys. Individual pay within that range can vary for several reasons including skills/capabilities, experience, and available budget.
