About the role

Our investors include some of the most respected names in healthcare and deep tech.
The Scientist will work at the interface of reagent biochemistry, protein engineering, synthetic and surface chemistry, instrumentation, and bioinformatics.
The ideal candidate is curious and a fast learner, unintimidated by climbing steep learning curves and going deep into the details of a new technology.

Prepare, optimize, and characterize reagent formulations that support our platform development.
Execute and help develop analytical assays, such as fluorescence plate-reader assays, HPLC, qPCR, or related methods.
Collaborate with scientists and engineers across disciplines to troubleshoot experiments and advance company goals.
Document methods, results, observations, and decisions clearly
Support lab organization, formulate reagents, maintain equipment, ensure compliance with safety and reproducibility practices.
Document methods, results, observations, and decisions clearly; contribute to protocols, SOPs, technical reports, and knowledge sharing.
We are a venture-backed, stealth-stage biotechnology company based in San Diego, focused on developing novel technologies that will redefine how disease is detected, characterized, and managed with a novel approach to clinical genomics.
We are seeking a motivated, curious, and proactive Scientist to help develop and integrate novel biochemistry workflows for multi-omics applications.
This role is well suited for a recent B.S. or M.S. graduate with strong scientific fundamentals, hands-on research experience, and the drive to learn quickly in a highly interdisciplinary environment.
You will contribute to reagent and workflow optimization, characterize reagents and components, and collaborate with engineering teams to integrate workflows on the company's platform.

Ability to work both independently and with guidance in a cross-functional, fast-moving research environment.
The candidate must be detail-oriented, analytical, and collaborative, thriving in a dynamic environment that values innovation, cross-disciplinary interaction, and scientific rigor.
B.S. or M.S. in Bioengineering, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Molecular Biology, or related field.
Hands on research experience (undergraduate or graduate research, internships or similar project based scientific work).
Demonstrated motivation, curiosity, proactivity, and willingness to learn new scientific and technical areas.
Excellent problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills.
Why Join Us
Influence the foundational technologies and strategies of a company poised to shape the future of clinical genomics and healthcare.
Work in a dynamic, collaborative environment where innovation and scientific rigor are deeply valued.
Join a seasoned and multidisciplinary team tackling high-impact problems at the intersection of science and engineering.
Competitive compensation and equity package, comprehensive benefits, and flexibility to support work-life integration.
We are an equal opportunity employer. We thrive on diversity and collaboration.

Comfortable working around prototype instruments, custom hardware, or early-stage systems is a plus.
Interest in data analysis, scripting, or modifying code to help interpret experiments is a plus but not required.

Our mission is to fundamentally transform healthcare through a convergence of innovation across multiple scientific disciplines.

Founded by industry veterans with decades of experience in life sciences tools and diagnostics, our leadership team brings a proven track record of translating scientific insight into successful commercial products.
Run reagent robustness, compatibility, and stability studies, and use results to improve workflows.
Position Overview
Set up and runs on internal system prototypes with mentoring as needed.
Collect, organize, and interpret experimental data; identify trends, issues, and practical next steps.
