💼 About This Role

You'll join a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing allogeneic gamma delta T cell therapies. You'll be responsible for lentiviral vector production and molecular biology workflows to enable discovery and preclinical studies. This 100% bench-based role offers a chance to drive vector optimization and support cell therapy R&D.

🎯 What You'll Do

• Design, build, and QC DNA constructs and variant libraries for screening
• Produce, titer, and QC lentivirus from HEK293T cultures
• Perform mammalian tissue culture and BSL-2 workflows
• Execute immune cell workflows and functional characterization assays

📋 Requirements

• BS + 4 years or MS + 2 years in molecular biology, cell biology, or related field
• Strong molecular cloning and nucleic-acid workflows (Gibson, In-Fusion, PCR, qPCR)
• Experience with lentivirus production in HEK293T and titering (qPCR, p24)
• Proficient in mammalian tissue culture (aseptic technique, expansion, banking) in BSL-2

✨ Nice to Have

• T cell activation, lentiviral transduction, expansion, and flow cytometry
• NGS-enabled library readouts (barcoding, sample prep, basic analysis)
• Viral vector scale-up/scale-down (cell factories, wave, or bioreactors)

🎁 Benefits & Perks

• 💵 Competitive compensation including base salary, cash bonus, equity, ESPP, 401(k) with 4.5% match
• 🏥 Comprehensive health plans (medical, dental, vision), FSA, HSA with company match
