At Aether Biomachines, we’re building at the frontier of biology and engineering. Our mission is to develop transformative technologies that expand what’s possible in medicine, research, and human health.

We move fast, think deeply, and care intensely about the impact of our work. While we may not have a role posted that fits your background today, we’re always looking to connect with exceptional people who are excited about shaping the future of biology with us.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

Why Submit a General Application?

Some of our best hires start with a conversation before there’s a formal job description. By submitting a general application, you:

  • Signal your interest in working with Aether

  • Get considered for future roles across teams

  • Stay on our radar as we grow and open new positions

We review general applications regularly and reach out when there’s a strong alignment.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re excited to connect with people who:

  • Are mission-driven and intellectually curious

  • Thrive in fast-paced, high-ownership environments

  • Care deeply about scientific rigor and executional excellence

  • Bring unique expertise in biology, engineering, computation, operations, product, or company-building

We value builders - people who move from idea to execution, take initiative, and raise the bar for those around them.

Areas of Interest

While roles evolve over time, we’re often building in areas such as:

  • Synthetic Biology & Bioengineering, Molecular & Cellular Biology

  • Hardware & Automation

  • Machine Learning

  • Software, Data, and Computational Biology

  • Product Management

  • Operations, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain

  • Talent, Recruiting, and People Operations

  • Business Development & Partnerships

If your background doesn’t fit neatly into one of these categories, that’s okay - tell us how you think you could contribute.

What to Include

When you apply, please share:

  • Your resume or LinkedIn profile

  • A brief note (1-2 paragraphs) explaining:

    • Why Aether

    • What kind of problems you want to work on

    • How you think you could add value

We care more about clarity of thinking and motivation than buzzwords.

Our Commitment

Aether is committed to building a diverse, inclusive team. We believe breakthroughs happen when people with different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences come together around a shared mission.

If you’re excited about what we’re building, even if you’re unsure you meet every expectation, we encourage you to apply.
