About the role

  • We are a vibrant and intensely mission-driven team in San Francisco, comprising members from MIT, Harvard Medical School, Roche, ETH, and Dana-Farber.
  • In an early-stage environment, we value people who can bring clarity to open-ended problems, take ownership of the next steps, and follow through with energy.
  • Capable Labs is a place for ambitious, high-integrity people who want to become dramatically better.

Responsibilities

  • Design, run, and optimize cell-based assays for GPCR pharmacology, including FLIPR calcium flux, cyclic AMP, IP1/IP accumulation, beta-arrestin recruitment, receptor internalization, membrane potential, and related fluorescence or luminescence readouts.
  • Develop robust assay workflows across transient and stable cell systems, including cell culture, plating density, receptor expression, ligand stimulation, antagonist/inhibitor formats, time-course design, dose-response curves, and assay window optimization.
  • You will be surrounded by people who care intensely about the work, get close feedback from the people making scientific and company-defining decisions, and have room to own increasingly important problems.
  • We value speed and rigor, coupled with excitement, drive, and a strong work ethic.
  • We support visa sponsorship where appropriate, including O-1, H-1B, J-1, TN, and other employment-based pathways.

Requirements

  • What matters is your ability to generate reliable biological data from complex cell-based systems.
  • You have hands-on experience running cell-based assays.
  • Experience with GPCR signaling assays such as FLIPR calcium flux, cAMP, IP1/IP accumulation, beta-arrestin, or receptor trafficking is helpful but not required.

Compensation

  • $120,000-$220,000 salary, plus equity options with an implied current value of approximately $50,000-$200,000 before exercise cost, taxes, dilution, and liquidity risk.
