Job description

Job Title: Principal Engineer I/II, MSAT / Viral Vector Downstream
Department: External CMC Operations
Reports to: VP of External CMC Operations
Location: Onsite 5 days per week at our Berkeley, CA office
Employment Type: Full-time
FLSA Status: Exempt
Bonus/Equity: Eligible
About Azalea
Azalea Therapeutics is enabling precision genome engineering directly inside the body, with an initial focus on creating cancer immunotherapies in vivo. Azalea is pioneering a new way to turn a person's own T cells into a powerful cancer therapy - directly inside the body. Instead of removing cells and manipulating them in a lab, we use precision genome editing tools to engineer T cells where they already live. At the center of our approach are Enveloped Delivery Vehicles, or EDVs. As highly selective couriers, EDVs are designed to specifically locate T cells within the patient and deliver our genome engineering cargo. Once inside the cell, the anti-cancer agent is inserted into a precise site in the genome, ensuring safe and potent modifications to fortify the T cells against cancers.
Why this matters:
  • We aim to make cell therapy faster and more accessible by avoiding complex manufacturing outside the body.
  • Our platform is designed for precision, so the right cells are safely programmed to effectively fight cancer.
  • This technology has the potential to treat a wide range of cancers with a streamlined, scalable process.

Our goal is simple: develop next-generation delivery technologies to bring genetic engineering and cell therapies to more patients.
How We Work
Azalea is building ambitious science in a fast-moving environment. The people who thrive here are accountable, adaptable, rigorous, humble, and direct. Across roles and functions, we look for team members who demonstrate the following:
  • Outcome Ownership - We own results, close loops, and follow through without needing to be prompted. We take responsibility for moving work forward and making sure important decisions, deliverables, and handoffs do not fall through the cracks.
  • Comfort with Ambiguity - We operate in an early-stage environment where information may be incomplete and priorities may evolve. We clarify quickly, make thoughtful decisions with the information available, and adapt without unnecessary drama.
  • High Standards, Low Ego - We care deeply about the quality of the work and the impact it can have for patients. We raise the bar while staying humble, direct, and open to feedback.
  • Collaboration and Candor - We share context early, communicate clearly, partner across functions, and operate with transparency. We believe strong collaboration requires both trust and direct communication.

The Opportunity
Azalea is seeking a Principal Engineer I/II, Manufacturing Science and Technology (MSAT) - Viral Vector Downstream to serve as the senior technical lead for downstream viral vector technology transfer, and manufacturing readiness. Reporting to the VP of External CMC Operations, the immediate focus for this role will be advancing the EDV and AAV manufacturing capabilities required to move pipeline programs toward first-in-human readiness, including pilot runs, engineering runs, and initiation of GMP manufacturing.
This is a senior individual-contributor role aligned with Azalea's Principal Scientist I/II levels.
