  • Execute DNA library preparation and sequencing workflows for Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Illumina platforms.
  • Perform cell sorting and flow cytometry.
  • Perform yeast transformation and matings.
  • Execute DNA library construction as assigned.
  • Support development and optimization of standard operating procedures for existing and new experimental workflows.
  • Contribute to project teams and execute project-related tasks as needed.
  • Train new Research Associates as requested.
  • Develop foundational understanding of and executional expertise in Technical Operations methods.

  • Proficiency in standard molecular biology techniques, including DNA extractions, quantitative PCR, Gibson assembly, and fragment analysis.
  • Experience with multi-parametric flow cytometry.
  • Experience in a high-throughput screening or manufacturing environment.
  • Experience working within a LIMS/ELN.
  • Strong work ethic, organizational skills, team orientation, and attention to detail.
  • Flexibility in day-to-day schedule and willingness to work outside of standard hours when necessary, including weekends.

Preferred

  • Operator experience in a regulated environment (e.g., CLIA, cGXP).
  • Hands-on experience with Illumina, ONT, and/or PacBio next-generation sequencing platforms.
  • Experience with cell sorting.
  • Experience using yeast as a model organism.
  • Experience with Benchling.

About A-Alpha Bio

A-Alpha Bio is a biotechnology company that leverages synthetic biology and machine learning to measure, predict, and engineer protein-protein interactions. Our AlphaSeq platform applies synthetic biology to experimentally measure millions of protein interaction affinities simultaneously. Protein binding data is incorporated into our AlphaBind platform to train machine learning models that predict binding from sequence. We use both platforms to discover and optimize high-impact therapeutics for our pipeline and in partnership with leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

In 2018, A-Alpha Bio spun out of the University of Washington's Institute for Protein Design and Center for Synthetic Biology – both communities filled with brilliant and highly entrepreneurial scientists. Since the company's inception, we have focused on an oncology-centered internal pipeline along with pharma and biotech partnerships to collaboratively train predictive machine learning models and discover and optimize drugs for therapeutic areas ranging from infectious disease to neurodegeneration. New members of the team should expect a fast-paced, highly dynamic, and interdisciplinary work environment. We are building a diverse, meritocratic, and supportive team that shares our values of speaking the truth, shooting for the moon, taking the reins, playing for the team, and improving the world.

A-Alpha Bio is headquartered in a custom designed lab and office space in downtown Seattle's Belltown neighborhood. While the startup lifestyle occasionally requires grueling hours, we strongly value the need for a work-life balance. We are fortunate to be situated in a region that is renowned for its premier outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, climbing, skiing, kayaking, sailing, and more. At A-Alpha, you'll find many who love the outdoors, but also gamers, amateur chefs, explorers, sports fans, bakers, crafters, photographers, brewers, jetsetters, animal lovers, and artists. Whatever your passions, you belong at A-Alpha Bio
