Jobs at Adaptyv

Build reliable backend systems that make an automated biology lab programmable. Responsibilities include architecting data pipelines for protein characterization data, designing APIs, integrating laboratory instruments and robotics, orchestrating workflows, and transforming heterogeneous physical-instrument data into structured datasets. The role involves close collaboration with scientists and automation engineers and requires strong software architecture, pragmatism, autonomy, and interest in biology.

Build full-stack product software for LabOS, orchestrating automated biology experiments across scheduling, execution, data capture, and results processing. Develop APIs and interfaces for scientists and AI agents, create AI agents and troubleshooting tools, integrate laboratory hardware through programmatic APIs, and design scheduling systems for complex instrument workflows. Own substantial product areas while working independently in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment.

Lead a small, highly technical engineering team building software infrastructure for an automated wet lab. Own the roadmap and technical architecture across frontend, backend, data pipelines, and lab-hardware integration. Remain hands-on shipping high-leverage code, hire and grow engineers, set engineering standards, and embed AI-assisted development to accelerate delivery and reliability of production experiments.

Own the launch and operation of Adaptyv’s London lab and UK entity. Responsibilities include managing site fit-out, contractors, equipment, suppliers, permits, budgets, hiring the founding team, establishing finance and administrative infrastructure, overseeing customer experience, and building relationships across the UK life-sciences ecosystem.

Own customer, partner, community, and programme operations for Adaptyv’s London lab. Responsibilities include customer onboarding and experiment delivery, managing strategic programmes and partnerships, coordinating milestones and stakeholder updates, organising events, supporting UK marketing and communications, and building efficient operational systems. The role requires strong organisation, clear communication, high ownership, comfort with ambiguity, AI-enabled workflows, and a life-sciences background. It is an on-site position in London supporting the lab’s 2026 launch.

The Founders Associate will build operational systems for scaling an AI-driven automated lab, handling finance, customer operations, hiring, and logistics.

Build and own orchestration features in LabOS that schedule and execute experiments, convert hardware into API-controllable devices, create interfaces and APIs for real-time lab visibility, develop AI agents and tooling to automate protocol design and troubleshooting, and design scheduling systems coordinating many instruments.

Build backend systems and data pipelines to process large-scale protein characterization data, design APIs to integrate lab instruments and robotics, and collaborate with scientists and automation engineers to turn molecular biology workflows into reliable, scalable software for automated wet-lab execution.

First finance hire responsible for building an AI-powered, automated finance stack: forecasting, margins, pricing, close across two entities, cash and treasury, tax/VAT/compliance, investor reporting, equipment leasing, and automation. Hands-on role requiring modeling tied to lab operations, programmatic close and API-driven tooling, and collaboration with procurement and commercial teams.

Own end-to-end hiring and build a talent function in Lausanne: define roles, run sourcing and assessment, manage work trials, hire and lead recruiters, optimize ATS (Ashby), and partner with science, automation, and engineering teams to scale hiring.
