Job description

Sales Switzerland Remote FullTime Mid level

This is a mix of sales and customer support for someone who knows protein science well. The person runs technical calls with protein engineers, helps them choose and set up experiments, and then explains the results. A strong candidate has a background in biochemistry or protein engineering, has worked with customers in a technical role, and is just as keen to win and grow accounts as to talk science.

How it fits the AI era

AI models can now design proteins faster than labs can test them, so the physical testing step is the slow part. This role sits at that gap, helping AI-driven teams turn designs into real data. Software can draft quotes and summarize results, but earning trust from scientists, judging which experiment fits a goal, and spotting when a result looks off still depend on a person with real expertise.

How it builds AI experience

Working here means talking daily with teams that build protein design models and with labs that depend on automated testing, so the exposure to how AI and lab work connect is direct. To build this experience, follow the protein design field closely, try open design tools, and practice reading assay data such as binding and expression results in the context of a design campaign.

Worth showing

• Binding kinetics and assay knowledge
• Technical sales or field application experience
• Closing deals and growing accounts
• Explaining data to varied audiences
