Job description

This is a hands-on generalist job at a fast-growing lab startup, covering finance admin, customer onboarding, supplier deals, hiring support and logistics for a new lab in Lausanne. A strong candidate has owned something real before, handles vague goals without a playbook, and keeps follow-through tidy. Biology knowledge is optional, but real interest in life sciences matters.

How it fits the AI era

AI tools are meant to do much of the heavy lifting here, since the person is expected to rebuild manual workflows into automated systems using tools like Claude Code, Python and no-code apps. The company itself builds a lab that AI agents can use to run experiments, so the work sits close to that shift. What stays human is judgment about priorities, negotiating with suppliers, keeping customers happy and making sure things get done reliably.

How it builds AI experience

Someone in this role would gain regular practice building real workflows with coding assistants, applied to live problems like customer onboarding and finance operations. Being inside a company that connects AI protein design to physical experiments also gives a close view of how AI models and lab automation work together. To prepare, a candidate could build a small automation for a messy process and be ready to explain how it saved time.

Worth showing

• Projects owned end to end
• Workflows built with Claude Code
• Python or no-code automations
• Organized follow-through under change
