Jobbeschreibung

CT19 are collaborating with a rapidly growing biotech in Munich who are building a novel platform to revolutionise microbial bioproduction. They are combining wet lab (high throughput screening & lab automation) with dry lab (Computational models & Machine Learning), to optimise fermentation performance through media and bioprocess improvements, saving resources, time and cost.

Within the first 18 months, they have already onboarded a number of clients, helping them identify and developed optimal parameters for unique microbial strains and as a result of their recent success, are hiring for a 1-2 Microbiologists.

This is an opportunity to join early stage company who are at the intersection of AI and Biology, where you will make a genuine impact on the trajectory of the business, having ownership of your work and seeing first hand the value you add.

What You’ll Do:

• Working directly with the founders, you will lead the cultivation and study of a wide range of microbial species, including lactic acid bacteria, E. coli, B. subtilis, and yeasts
• Design and optimize media formulations to boost productivity and stability, with the aim to expand into bioprocess development (e.g. feeding strategies, temperature, and pH optimization)
• Build, validate, and standardize assays that inform media and bioprocess choices, supporting strain characterization, functional testing, and QC
• Ownership of customer projects from experimental design to execution
• Collaborate closely with automation and bioinformatics teams to create scalable, model-ready datasets

Who You Are..

• Educational background in Microbiology with industry/research experience in probiotics/microbial fermentation
• Extensive experience in designing and validating microbiology assays
• Deep expertise in cell cultivation, media optimization, and strain performance analysis.
• Entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable operating in a fast-paced, early-stage company.
