Are your hands the ones a lab trusts — the person whose replicates line up, whose cultures stay clean, and whose notes anyone could follow?

Gordian’s discovery engine tests hundreds of targets at once, and every promising hit has to prove itself in real tissue before it can become a medicine. The data that makes those calls comes from the bench. In this role, you will produce it: running our core molecular, protein, biomarker, and cell-based assays and supporting ex vivo work in animal and human tissue, to a standard the whole team can build on.

You take real pride in doing careful work well. You like the craft of the bench, and you know that a clean replicate or an uncontaminated culture is the result of discipline, not luck.

You want to contribute to an early-stage startup working on diseases of aging, in a fast-paced environment where your data directly informs which targets move forward.
