director of operations

Location: US-based remote

Salary: Competitive base salary + equity options

Position: We are seeking an entrepreneurial Director of Operations to join our fast-growing tech startup. As the Director of Operations, you will oversee finance, sales, operations, administration, legal, and HR, and wear many hats. This position works directly with the CEO and has immediate impact on the productivity of the company. This position is available as part-time for 20+ hours per week or full-time, depending on the candidate's availability. The ideal candidate will have at least 3 years of experience in a similar role, with a master's degree in MBA, Engineering or related fields. Familiarity with AI, SAAS, and biotech is a plus.

Company:

We are poised for an AI/ML-driven digital revolution in our ability to understand and engineer biology. Proteins are the machinery of life and are used in healthcare, agriculture, and manufacturing. 310.ai is a generative AI/ML protein design startup.

Protein engineering pipelines are currently highly manual, labor intensive, and require skilled professionals. This has parallels to content creation for images and text in the "pre-AI" era. Now, commercial content creation is being revolutionized by end-to-end models (e.g. GPT3, DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion) that generate highly realistic and compelling images directly from textual prompts. Our vision is to bring an analogous transformation to protein design with a new era of end-to-end generative models for proteins and eventually all molecules. Our goal at 310.ai is to create the tools that will largely replace traditional pipelines and offer a fast, efficient, and entirely new way of designing fit-for-purpose proteins.
