This is an internship for an exceptional student or early-career builder — your shot to do the most serious work of your life so far, on a small team where interns own real problems. Building an automated lab throws off an endless stream of problems, and they don't respect job titles. One week it's a gnarly data pipeline, the next a misbehaving instrument, a model that needs evaluating, or a supplier bottleneck blocking production. We'll point you at the ones that fit you, give you a senior person to learn from, and expect you to make a real dent. The goal is simple: create obvious, measurable value. Do that, and this doesn't have to end as an internship — if you're good, you stay.
Adaptyv is building an automated lab that lets AI agents run biology experiments. We're entering the era of agentic science where AI models can now design novel proteins, propose hypotheses, and iterate on experimental results. But they can't run the experiments themselves - that's still a manual, months-long process. We're building the infrastructure that gives AI agents access to the physical world. We are one of the fastest growing biotech companies, trusted by leading biopharmas, frontier AI labs, and the techbio companies pushing the field forward. This is a rare chance to help advance some of the most important work happening in biotech today. Our automated lab is powered by a deep software + hardware stack: lab instruments worth millions of USD reverse-engineered into API-controllable hardware, dozens of devices orchestrated through complex workflows, full observability on everything that happens in the lab, processing pipelines for messy physical-world data, and AI systems that troubleshoot production results and accelerate assay development. We’re growing rapidly and are hiring for talented people to scale and support the massive demand for AI-driven wet lab experimentation.
