Job Description
What we do
Today materials production accounts for 23% of GHG emissions and shows no sign of slowing down. Cambrium was founded under the belief that biology offers a better way. For material innovation in nature biology turns to proteins. Over the past 4.3 billion years evolution has shaped proteins with every material property imaginable. From surfactants and hard surfaces to gels and foams to coatings and adhesives. We built our platform to speed up biologys innovation cycle to make the materials the world needs in a timeline that matters. By programming proteins at scale we create sustainable breakthrough materials for innovators across cosmetics fashion and packaging.
We are an equalopportunity employer and value diversity. We consider all applications equally regardless of race color ancestry religion sex national origin sexual orientation age citizenship marital status disability or gender identity. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply and we can help with immigration.
