Role overview
Adaptyv is building an automated lab thats let AI agents run biology experiments.
We're entering the era of agentic science where AI models can now design novel proteins, propose hypotheses, and iterate on experimental results. But they can't run the experiments themselves - that's still a manual, months-long process. We're building the infrastructure that gives AI agents access to the physical world.
Today, over 50 companies are already running their wet lab experiments on Adaptyv, ranging from some of the biggest biopharmas, to frontier AI labs to dozens of techbio startups.
Our automated lab is powered by a deep software + hardware stack: lab instruments worth millions of USD reverse-engineered into API-controllable hardware, dozens of devices orchestrated through complex workflows, full observability on everything that happens in the lab, processing pipelines for messy physical-world data, and AI systems that troubleshoot production results and accelerate assay development.
We’re growing rapidly and are hiring for talented people to scale and support the massive demand for AI-driven wet lab experimentation.
What you will do
- Lead deep technical sales conversations with PhD-level protein engineers and CSOs, advising on assay design including BLI, SPR, and cell-free expression.
- Manage the end-to-end customer journey, from initial prospecting and proposal development to onboarding and proactive account expansion.
- Collaborate with internal biology and engineering teams to troubleshoot complex experimental results and translate data into actionable insights for clients.
Who this is a fit for
- Possesses a strong scientific background in protein engineering or biochemistry, with fluent understanding of binding kinetics, KD values, and expression systems.
- Has proven experience in a customer-facing technical role such as Field Application Scientist or Technical Sales within the biotech or CRO sector.
- Combines a genuine passion for AI-driven biology with a commercial mindset focused on revenue growth, pipeline management, and closing high-impact deals.
Why this role is remarkable
- Join a pioneer in "agentic science," building the critical physical infrastructure that allows AI models to move beyond design and into real-world experimental iteration.
- Work at the intersection of high-end robotics and synthetic biology, utilizing a lab environment where millions of dollars in instrumentation are accessible via API.
- Play a key role in a high-growth startup trusted by top-tier biopharmas and frontier AI labs, directly impacting the speed of drug discovery and protein engineering.
