About Plasmidsaurus
Plasmidsaurus is on a mission to accelerate new cures and promote a healthier planet by unlocking a new level of productivity for scientists who use DNA tools to bring their ideas to life. Our DNA sequencing tools are used daily by thousands of innovators including Nobel prize winners dynamic biotech startups research labs and DIY biohackers. Our global network of labs operates day and night to enable worldchanging discoveries. In 2024 we saved these scientists 2 million hours of time radically accelerating their research. Every team member at Plasmidsaurus plays a crucial role in driving forward the future of biotech research.
DNA sequencing is fundamental to a biologists daily workflow. Just like software engineers program computers in code biologists program life in DNA they do this every day. However every time a biologist updates their DNA (via a chemical process) they have to sequence the DNA to make sure the update works. Thats where we come in!
We sequence DNA overnight (and sameday). Our global logistics network transports tubes of DNA from a scientists hand from anywhere in the world to one of our 10 labs in under 12 hours. Our technicians come in the evening/sunrise to load our robots which process the samples. By sunrise the scientists have their results and begin their next round of experiments. We made this process 30 times cheaper and 10 times faster.
Position Overview
Plasmidsaurus has already revolutionized the scientific protocol of DNA sequencing the next step is to create tools to enable intuitive analysis of their data. Youll build and own highly interactive web apps that allow scientists to visualize their DNA sequencing results quickly identify mutations and discover new insights about their experiments as part of their worldchanging research.
