Business Development Leader

Invert is working to automate the design, execution, and analysis of bioprocesses. As scientists increasingly use bioprocessing to make new biomaterials to solve the environmental crisis, invent new therapies to combat disease, and produce essential chemicals cleanly - the tools we build together at Invert will be crucial to their success. We're a multi-disciplinary remote-first team who love learning about each others’ fields. Previous experience with biology is nice but by no means necessary.

We're just getting started, so joining our team will mean having a large impact on a very important problem space.
