Description

Amide Technologies is reimagining how proteins and protein therapeutics are discovered, engineered, and applied. We use cutting-edge artificial intelligence and solid-phase flow chemistry to rapidly design and build proteins from the ground up. Amide’s engineered proteins and protein therapeutics are fully untethered from biological systems and contain unlimited non-natural amino acids, post-translational modifications, and artificial backbones.

Role description:

We are seeking an exceptional individual to join our growing team as a Research Associate/Technician.
