jobs in the wild.

Mandrake Bio is an AI × Bio research lab focused on gene editing, and we're backed by some of the best pre-seed investors in India such as Activate, Antler, DeVC, Spectrum Impact and more. We're talent dense and punching way above our weight - we recently won a global protein design competition, beating world-class labs with orders of magnitude more resources than us. Here's the deal - you'd be right next to me in every real decision we make. The strategic calls, the science fights, the sales conversations that go sideways, the messy stuff that never makes it into social media. I'd have killed for this seat a few years ago. The ideal person for this would be someone who is: - super high agency - smart - has figured out how to teach themselves anything - someone you can hand literally anything to and it just gets done - trustworthy, kind, and a force of nature And honestly, someone who geeks out over science and sci-fi as hard as we do. I'm not looking for someone who wants to do this for the next 10 years. I want someone who's going to go build their own deep-tech company in a few years - and gets that the best prep is being this close to one before they start. If that sounds like you: Send me a note or a short video - which sci-fi idea do you think is actually closest to reality, and what's the first step you'd take towards starting it tomorrow with basically nothing? DM me or write to talent@mandrake.bio Let's make life programmable.
