We are seeking a highly motivated and ambitious Protein Engineer to join our stealth-stage biotech startup. The successful candidate will develop novel biologics for geriatric disorders. This is a unique opportunity to shape the direction of our protein engineering efforts. We are looking for someone who has broad familiarity with modern antibody discovery and protein engineering techniques, strong problem-solving skills, and a willingness to learn quickly. Location: San Francisco, CA Key Responsibilities: ● Lead antibody discovery campaigns conducted externally with CROs partners and evolve leads internally using phage or yeast display libraries ● Use protein engineering techniques to develop protein fusions with optimized expression, pharmacokinetics, and developability properties ● Develop and optimize moderate- and high-throughput assays to screen and characterize engineered protein variants

  • Analyze large datasets from next-generation sequencing of protein and antibody libraries
  • Characterize lead candidates using biochemical, cell-based, and in vivo assays
  • Collaborate closely with the founders to drive the project forward
Qualifications: ● PhD in Protein Engineering, Biochemistry, or related field with at least 5 years of post-graduate experience. Hiring level will be commensurate with experience and skillset ● Experience assembling and screening yeast or phage display libraries, preferably incorporating NGS-based workflows
  • Background in biochemistry, molecular biology, and protein expression & purification
  • Familiarity with analytical methods for characterizing the biophysical properties of
proteins (e.g., SE-HPLC, DLS, DSF , SPR, BLI, etc)
  • Characterize protein function with ELISAs, flow cytometry, and activity reporter assays
  • Proficiency in data analysis and programming (e.g. Python, R)
  • Strong communication and collaboration abilities
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently
  • Entrepreneurial mindset and enthusiasm for working in a fast-paced startup environment
