Job description

About the Role

As a Profiling Lab Operations Associate at Nomic, you will perform high-throughput multiplex immunoassays to quantify hundreds to thousands of disease-relevant protein biomarkers in cell culture supernatants and human-derived biological specimens from our clients using our proprietary nELISA technology. You will be an integral part of our mission to enable scientists to accelerate drug discovery and improve human health. This role involves extensive hands-on laboratory work and requires strong teamwork, attention to detail, and a commitment to producing high-quality data.

Hiring Timeline: We're growing the team throughout the remainder of the year, so we'll be hiring multiple people for this role. The posting may stay open for an extended period, with multiple start dates available over the coming months.

What you will be doing

• Process cell culture supernatants and human biological specimens (e.g., plasma, serum, CSF, saliva, and urine) through our high-throughput workflows, including sample preparation, assay washing, and flow cytometry-based readout.
• Work in BSL-1 and BSL-2 laboratory environments while following established biosafety procedures.
• Prepare assay reagents, consumables, and other materials required for daily operations.
• Perform routine maintenance, calibration, and basic troubleshooting of laboratory equipment, including plate washers, liquid handlers, flow cytometers, and centrifuges.
• Record and manage laboratory information using our Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).
• Support the manufacturing of critical assay reagents.
• Perform routine laboratory operational tasks, including completing assay batch records, conducting inventory cycle counts, aliquoting reagents, restocking consumables, and cleaning laboratory glassware and equipment.

Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in life sciences, chemistry, biotechnology, or a related field.
• Minimum of 3 years of experience working in a GLP-certified laboratory.
• Minimum of 1 year of experience working in a BSL-2 laboratory.
• Minimum of 6 months of hands‑on experience with flow cytometry.
• Experience with automated liquid handlers is considered an asset.
• Strong time management skills, with the ability to multitask effectively in a fast‑paced environment.
• Meticulous work ethic, strong organizational skills in a laboratory setting, and high attention to detail.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively within a team.
• Comfortable following digital protocols.
• Availability requirement : Candidates must be available to work a regular workday scheduled within the 12:00 PM - 11:00 PM time window, Monday through Friday, with occasional weekend work.
• English skills sufficient to understand laboratory technical instructions and explain equipment issues are required. The role involves daily communication in English with vendors and technical support teams primarily located in the U.S. to troubleshoot laboratory equipment, as well as communication with U.S.-based colleagues about laboratory activities.

About us

Nomic was founded to make biology easier to measure-and to enable scientists to extend lives by making proteomics accessible, scalable, and routine. Our story began at McGill University, where our co-founders and early team developed breakthrough technology that would change the way proteins are measured.

Today, Nomic is powered by our proprietary nELISA® platform-an end-to-end technology that delivers high-throughput, quantitative, and affordable protein data at unprecedented scale. With the launch of Omni 1000, we are making the $50 proteome a reality, breaking down barriers that have limited the field for decades. For the first time, large-scale, quantitative proteomics is accessible to any scientist, supporting everything from drug discovery and translational research to AI-enabled therapeutic development.

Since our launch, we've partnered with leaders in pharma, biotech, and academia-including GlaxoSmithKline and the Broad Institute-and have profiled more than 500,000 samples across diverse applications. Our growth is fueled by over $60 million in investment from top-tier backers, including our recent $42 million Series B.

We're building a team of world-changers-scientists, engineers, and problem-solvers who believe that accessible proteomics can help shape the future of medicine. If you want your work to have real impact, we'd love to meet you.
