Job description

Role & responsibilities

Life Bio Technologies is seeking a results-driven Technical Sales & Application Specialist to drive the growth of our molecular biology portfolio across South India. Based in Hyderabad, you will manage both field lead generation and on-site wet-lab sample validations for lyophilized (room-temperature stable) qPCR premixes, master mixes, and pathogen detection workflowstranslating scientific needs into proven laboratory solutions.

• Territory Sales & Coverage: Develop and close sales opportunities across Hyderabad and major South Indian biotechnology hubs (Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Bengaluru, and Chennai).
• On-Site Wet-Lab Sample Testing & Validation: Perform hands-on sample runs using evaluation kits directly on customer qPCR instruments (Bio-Rad CFX, ABI QuantStudio, Roche LightCycler) to demonstrate amplification sensitivity, clean Ct values, and batch-to-batch reproducibility to lab managers.
• Hardware & Optical Profiling: Audit customer thermal blocks and liquid handling setups to verify exact plate profile and ROX dye compatibility prior to trial runs.
• Technical Presentations & Consultations: Conduct product demonstrations, technical presentations, and troubleshooting support regarding assay setup, optimization, and real-time PCR curve analysis.
• Key Account Prospecting: Build relationships with Molecular Biology Heads, Microbiology Lab Managers, and Procurement teams across commercial food/aqua testing labs, CROs, pharmaceutical biologics wings, universities, and diagnostic centers.
• Pipeline & Market Intelligence: Maintain accurate account profiles, instrument mapping logs, and competitor feedback directly for the Managing Director.

Preferred candidate profile

• Experience: 3 to 5 years of combined hands-on wet-lab molecular biology experience and field sales or application support experience managing Real-Time PCR workflows.
• Mandatory Technical Expertise: Must possess intermediate to advanced hands-on operational and troubleshooting knowledge of at least one or two major industry platforms across amplification, extraction, or liquid handling (e.g., Bio-Rad CFX/Opus, Thermo Fisher QuantStudio, Qiagen QIAcube/Rotor-Gene, or Tecan Liquid Handling Workstations).
• Education: M.Sc. or B.Tech in Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, or a related life sciences discipline.
• Technical Skills: Deep expertise in pipetting precision, analyzing real-time qPCR amplification curves, melt-curve metrics, threshold cycles (Ct values), and extraction purity logs.
• Attributes & Mobility: Strong problem-solving skills, professional laboratory etiquette, the ability to explain complex molecular chemistry simply to bench researchers, must own a two-wheeler with a valid driving license, and willingness to cover major South Indian places as required.

Perks and benefits

• Attractive Performance Incentives: Uncapped, transparent sales incentives directly tied to closed deals and account conversions across South India.
• Travel & Outstation Reimbursement: Complete reimbursement of local two-wheeler fuel/travel allowances and outstation travel, lodging, and daily allowances during trips across Telangana, AP, Bengaluru, and Chennai.
• Direct Leadership Access: Work directly alongside the Managing Director with fast decision-making and zero corporate bureaucracy.
• High-Demand Product Portfolio: Represent globally patented, room-temperature stable qPCR technologies that solve cold-chain failure and storage challenges for Indian laboratories.
