Forward Deployed Engineer

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. We are one of the fastest growing biotech companies, trusted by leading biopharmas, frontier AI labs, and the techbio companies pushing the field forward. This is a rare chance to help advance some of the most important work happening in biotech today. 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. ABOUT THE ROLE You're the bridge between Adaptyv's lab and the people designing proteins. Protein design platforms, pharma teams, AI labs, and biotech startups all have the same problem: they can generate designs far faster than they can test them. Your job is to close that gap — to embed with a customer, understand their pipeline, and wire Adaptyv's API into their stack so that designing, building, and testing proteins becomes one continuous loop instead of a series of handoffs. This is a deeply technical, customer-facing role. You'll write real code in production systems — ours and, often, theirs. You'll go from a first integration call to a working pipeline that's submitting experiments and pulling results automatically.
