Scientist, Genomics

Retro develops therapies for diseases driven by the biology of aging. We focus on cellular reprogramming and autophagy to rejuvenate cell and tissue function with the ultimate aim of adding 10 years to healthy human lifespan.   We're building a mission-driven team of accomplished and kind individuals who embrace our startup culture of rapid iteration, transparency, and versatility.   We are hiring a high-agency scientist to build genomics platforms that drive the discovery of therapies that rejuvenate cells and tissues. You'll own sequencing workflows end-to-end, working closely with automation and computational scientists to scale what you build and generate the data that enables our frontier models.   About you:   You want to drive the experimental direction for a research program, not wait to be handed a plan. You're happiest at the bench, building assays, troubleshooting failures, and generating data. You don't just run protocols; you take them apart and make them work for new contexts. You're excited to collaborate with computational scientists and automation engineers, but your core identity is as an experimentalist. You want to work on something ambitious enough that it might not work, and you can't think of anything more worth trying than extending healthy human lifespan.
