Jobs at Substrate Bio

Manage day-to-day laboratory operations, including goods receiving, inventory, purchasing, equipment servicing, calibration, waste, safety records, cold-chain handling, and supplier coordination. Build scalable inventory, asset, barcode, and provenance systems with software and science teams. Establish reorder points, stock controls, equipment records, and automated sample-tracking workflows while ensuring materials are accurately received, stored, scanned, and documented.

Lead production development and architecture for intelligence software using LLMs and agentic systems. Ship end-to-end features (literature ingestion, gap identification, assay optimisation), stand up data capture infrastructure, and grow the intelligence team while coordinating with biology and operational engineering.

Lead and build an end-to-end functional genomics vertical: scope and validate screening workflows (cell line engineering, perturbation libraries, pooled and single-cell sequencing), hire and manage scientists and technicians, co-design automation-ready protocols with engineering, and collaborate with foundation model partners to produce structured datasets for model training. Own quality thresholds, validation, customer engagements, and roadmap execution during manual, instrumented, and autonomous phases.
