Company brief · updated 2026-10-18
adaptyvbio.com · Healthcare · Adaptyv generates the data that AI models need to design new proteins — in just 3 weeks. Fully automated lab, clean experimental data, and comprehensive API.
Today: Protein validation lab service (site); the London lab is named only in job postings
Roles: Head of UK Lab Operations · Head of UK Operations · UK Ops & Programme Manager
Requirements mention: lab fit-out · instrument installation · permits · inventory and procurement
Inference: a second physical lab is being set up in London. Fit-out and operations leadership roles opened together on 2026-08-20, and postings describe 'a London lab opening in 2026'.
Today: "protein validation lab" that returns experimental data on submitted sequences (site text)
Roles: Production Scientist (Senior) · Scientist, Protein Expression & Purification · Bioengineer / Molecular Biologist · Binding Kinetics Scientist (SPR & BLI)
Requirements mention: expression (E. coli, mammalian, cell-free) · CHO · HEK · Protein A · binding kinetics
Inference: expression work now includes mammalian systems (CHO, HEK) alongside E. coli and cell-free, which suggests the validation service is adding proteins that need mammalian expression.
Today: Protein validation lab that runs customer assays in-house (site text)
Roles: Lab Operations Associate · Laboratory Technician, Lab Operations · Supply Chain & Procurement Manager
Requirements mention: cold chain · customs paperwork · liquid handling systems · vendor onboarding
Inference: the Lausanne lab is adding dedicated staff to keep stock, shipping and procurement running in-house.
Today: "comprehensive API" (site text)
Roles: Software Engineer, Lab Automation · Lab Automation Engineer · Software Engineer, Backend · Software Engineer, Product
Requirements mention: instrument drivers · orchestration layer · experiment scheduling · API-controllable hardware
Inference: the software and automation teams are building the control layer that lets AI agents schedule and run experiments on lab hardware.
Today: "We turn raw measurements into clean, labelled data" (site text)
Roles: Data Scientist, Lab & Protein Data
Requirements mention: building datasets for model training and benchmarking · automated data pipelines · ML on experimental data
Inference: the company is building labelled datasets for training and benchmarking AI models from its own lab measurements.
Today: Customers submit protein sequences for validation (site text)
Roles: DNA Synthesis Platform Engineer
Requirements mention: oligonucleotide synthesis · high-throughput dispensing · microfluidics
No next step inferred; one posting names a next-generation DNA synthesis platform.
| Department | Open |

34 open roles: Biology 12, Operations 9, Software 6, GTM 4, Automation 3, with 20 in Lausanne and 7 in London; 4 opened in the last 30 days (all Biology), 6 in the prior 30, and 1 closed.
Seniority: Largest groups are unspecified (9) and mid-level (8), followed by 5 junior, 5 manager, 3 senior, 3 intern and 1 director.
Skills named most: automated lab, Python, lab instruments, BLI, SPR, processing pipelines, Claude Code, API-controllable hardware, liquid handlers, TypeScript, LabOS, binding kinetics
Locations: Lausanne 20, London 7, Lausanne / Hybrid / Remote 5, United States 1, Switzerland 1; 10 roles are marked remote, each listed against a home location. The two Backend roles (Lausanne and London) and the three Scientific Account Executive roles are among them; most lab roles are not marked remote.
If you're applying: Check each posting's own requirements. Laboratory Technician, Lab Operations asks for an apprenticeship or BSc, and Lab Operations Associate asks for French and English. Most Lausanne lab roles are not marked remote. Software roles commonly list Python, TypeScript and Postgres. Expression, purification and SPR/BLI experience is the most repeated science requirement.
If you're selling or recruiting: Lausanne holds 20 of 34 roles: 9 Biology, 5 Operations, and the rest in Software and Automation. London has 7, mostly UK lab and operations leadership. GTM hiring covers three remote Scientific Account Executives (London, United States, Switzerland) and a Community Manager focused on hackathons, competitions and Proteinbase. Velocity is slowing, with 4 new roles against 6 in the prior 30 days, and all 4 recent openings are in Biology.
