About the role
- The role will focus on prime and base editing, with work spanning cell-based optimization, molecular biology, and embryo-relevant assay development.
- Given the novelty of our platform, we expect that some specialized techniques will require training.
Responsibilities
- Optimize prime and base editing systems in mammalian cells and embryo-relevant models including protein and guide engineering Execute molecular biology workflows, including cloning, PCR/qPCR, amplicon prep, and sequencing-based analysis.
- Support NGS and single-cell workflows to characterize editing outcomes and embryo-relevant biology.
Requirements
- We care first and foremost that you are hard-working, high-aptitude, and have clearly demonstrated this through your prior work.
- Demonstrated gene editing experience with next‑generation platforms (prime and/or base editing).
- Proficiency in mammalian tissue culture, including sterile technique and basic cell‑based assays.
Nice to have
- Depth in one or more of the following areas: Embryo, oocyte, zygote, IVF, ICSI, or early-development biology experience.
- Protein purification and biochemical characterization of editing systems.
- Single-cell genomics or transcriptomics, including sample prep, library construction, or data interpretation.
- Previous experience in a startup environment (comfort with fast cycles, evolving priorities, and cross‑functional collaboration)
- Embryo, oocyte, zygote, IVF, ICSI, or early-development biology experience.
Benefits
- Qualifications Minimum qualifications BS or higher in a relevant field (we care more about your experience than your formal education) 2+ years of industry experience in biotechnology.
Company info
- We are seeking a hands-on experimentalist to help build and optimize next-generation gene editing systems for reproductive genetics.
