Boston, United States GALY Full time

We are out of time. Change must be immediate. We have to help the world find alternative ways to produce all the same things we love. But better. Using less land, less water, less energy, and making less waste. If you think that sounds like a mission, well, you are right. We are solving the world's most important problems with talented individuals who share our passion to change the world. GALY is an early-stage company developing novel _in vitro_ plant cell culture methods to produce cotton and other plant products in a process that is faster and uses fewer resources than if grown in the ground. GALY's environment is built so everyone, regardless of gender, race, religion, age, or background, can do their best work.

We are the movers and the shakers that have taken the leap from traditional agriculture to cellular agriculture. We value curious, creative and enthusiastic individuals who share our passion for improving the world through technology. In joining GALY, you will be a part of our diverse culture driven by collaboration, science and technology. Learn more about us and our culture by visiting our LinkedIn page
