Scientist II - Sr. Scientist, CRISPR Specificity & Genomic Safety

About the role

Profluent is an AI-first protein design company. Founded in 2022, we develop deep generative models to design and validate novel, functional proteins to revolutionize biomedicine. Based in Emeryville, CA, we are backed by leading investors including Altimeter Capital, Bezos Expeditions, Spark Capital, Insight Partners, Air Street Capital, AIX Ventures, and Convergent Ventures, and have raised over $150M to date.

Profluent is seeking a creative and enthusiastic Scientist II - Sr. Scientist to build and apply experimental workflows that characterize the specificity, safety, and developability of our personalized CRISPR base editing platform. This role will initially focus on establishing and scaling base-editor specificity workflows, including biochemical and cell-based approaches such as CHANGE-seq-BE and related methods for identifying DNA and RNA off-target activity. In the longer term, the candidate will spearhead off-target assessments for novel gene editing platforms such as engineered recombinases.&amp
