You will build the orchestration layer that allows AI agents to run real biology experiments in automated labs. Working across a TypeScript and Node stack, you'll bridge the gap between AI models and physical hardware, creating systems for real-time experiment visibility, scheduling, and automated troubleshooting for world-leading biopharma and research partners.

Product Engineer at Adaptyv Bio
AI can now design novel proteins, but it still can't run the experiments—until now. Join a high-growth, YC-backed biotech startup in Lausanne as a Product Engineer and build the software orchestration layer that gives AI agents control over physical lab hardware. With $8M in funding and a customer list including Microsoft Research and major biopharmas, you'll own critical parts of LabOS, turning millions of dollars in hardware into API-controllable infrastructure. This is a rare opportunity to bridge the gap between software and physical science at a company accelerating the discovery of new medicines.
