Full job description

About Us

We are a rapidly growing biotechnology company developing next-generation molecular diagnostics, automated sequencing platforms, and advanced laboratory instruments for public health, environmental monitoring, biodefense, and infectious disease detection.

Our team brings together molecular biology, engineering, software, automation, and manufacturing to develop products from concept through commercialization. We move quickly, solve challenging technical problems, and build technology with real-world impact.

We're looking for a hands-on Molecular Biologist with experience using Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) who enjoys experimenting, troubleshooting, and helping turn innovative ideas into commercial products.

The Role

You'll be responsible for developing, optimizing, and validating Oxford Nanopore sequencing workflows while working closely with engineers, software developers, and other scientists.

This is not a purely research position. You'll help build products that move from the laboratory into manufacturing and customer use.

If you enjoy solving difficult technical problems, designing experiments, and seeing your work become part of real products, you'll thrive here.

Responsibilities

Develop and optimize Oxford Nanopore sequencing workflows
Prepare DNA and RNA samples for sequencing
Perform nucleic acid extraction, purification, and quality assessment
Prepare sequencing libraries and operate Oxford Nanopore instruments
Design and execute laboratory experiments
Troubleshoot sequencing performance and improve workflow reliability
Analyze sequencing data and interpret experimental results
Support development of automated sample preparation and sequencing systems
Maintain accurate laboratory records and documentation
Collaborate with engineering teams to improve products and automation
Stay current with new Oxford Nanopore technologies, chemistries, and software

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree (BSc) in Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Biotechnology, Genetics, Biochemistry, or a related field
Hands-on experience with Oxford Nanopore Technologies sequencing
Experience with DNA and RNA extraction techniques
Experience with PCR, RT-PCR, qPCR, and general molecular biology methods
Strong troubleshooting and experimental design skills
Excellent laboratory organization and documentation
Strong communication and teamwork skills

Equivalent laboratory experience is valued as highly as formal education. If you've built strong Oxford Nanopore sequencing skills through research, industry, internships, or independent projects, we'd love to hear from you.

Nice to Have

Experience with any of the following is considered an asset:

Metagenomic sequencing
Whole-genome sequencing
Amplicon sequencing
RNA sequencing
Environmental or wastewater surveillance
Pathogen detection
Oxford Nanopore MinION or GridION platforms
Basic bioinformatics and sequencing data analysis
Python or R
Linux command line
Automated liquid handling systems
Method validation
Product development or biotechnology startups

What Success Looks Like

Sequencing workflows are reliable and reproducible
Experiments are well planned and efficiently executed
Problems are identified quickly and solved creatively
Laboratory work is accurate, organized, and well documented
New ideas improve sequencing speed, quality, automation, or cost
Strong collaboration with engineering and software teams helps accelerate product development

AI-Native Workplace

We believe AI is transforming biotechnology and product development.

Our scientists regularly use tools such as Claude Code, ChatGPT, and other AI-assisted research and coding tools to accelerate literature reviews, protocol development, troubleshooting, experimental planning, documentation, and data analysis. Candidates should be excited to incorporate AI into their daily work.

Why Join Us?

Work on cutting-edge sequencing technologies with real-world impact
Help develop products from concept through commercialization
Collaborate with engineers, software developers, and scientists in a multidisciplinary environment
Gain exposure to automation, product development, and advanced biotechnology
Competitive salary based on experience
Paid vacation
Excellent opportunities for growth as the company expands

How to Apply

If you're excited about Oxford Nanopore sequencing, enjoy solving complex biological problems, and want to build technologies that make a difference, we'd love to hear from you.

Please submit your resume along with a brief description of your Oxford Nanopore experience and any relevant research, industry, internship, or personal projects.

Pay: $65,000.00-$95,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
