Scientist II, Molecular Function

Profluent is scaling the discovery engines that supply data for AI-driven protein design. We're hiring a Scientist II to build and own our yeast surface display platform for binder generation. The data you produce will train and evaluate our protein design models, and the binders that emerge will open up new directions for the company.

This role sits within the Molecular Function (MF) program, our cross-functional effort spanning ML, Biology, and Bioinformatics. You will be the scientific owner of the yeast display platform: building it hands-on, from library construction through FACS and NGS readout, then setting its direction as it scales with Profluent's design ambitions.

As the platform matures, this role will grow towards setting direction for how display and protein engineering evolve at Profluent, including how we build on the most interesting binders the platform uncovers. We are looking for a yeast display expert who is ready to take on that broader scope.
