Protein Engineer

Salary Range: 120000 to 200000 (Currency: USD) (Pay period: per-year-salary)

Key Responsibilities

• Use innovative approaches to discover and characterize new biomaterials (anti-freeze proteins, peptides, biopolymers).
• Train and evaluate machine learning models to predict new biomaterials to prevent ice formation, engineer expression hosts to produce them, and test their activity.
• Closely collaborate with high throughput screening team to evaluate new biomaterials at preventing ice formation.
• Effectively communicate analysis results to an interdisciplinary team

Preferred Experience

• Expertise in strain and genome engineering, cloning, protein engineering, and protein expression.
• Proficiency with advanced microscopy methods, including IHC, time-lapse imaging, TIRF, and super-resolution/light-sheet microscopy.

Who You Are

• 4+ years of industry experience or PhD/Postdoc training in Bioengineering, Computational Biology, Synthetic Biology, or a related field.
• Experience in computational biology and machine learning-based approaches to predict new biomolecules, their activity, and expression in expression hosts.
• High competence with Python and standard deep learning frameworks.
• Expertise in engineering expression hosts (bacteria, yeast, and mammalian cells) to produce proteins, purify them, and assess stability and activity through functional assays.
•  Track record of scientific excellence and autonomy.
• You bring a collaborative mindset and value diverse perspectives.

Benefits

• Direct impact in a moonshot company creating the future as an early team member.
• Generous medical, dental and vision insurance coverage.
• Flexible time off and paid holidays.
