    About Plasmidsaurus

    Plasmidsaurus is on a mission to accelerate new cures and promote a healthier planet by unlocking a new level of productivity for scientists. Our sequencing services are used daily by thousands of innovators, including Nobel laureates, Fortune 100 pharma, and over 70,000 scientists.

    We began by revolutionizing plasmid sequencing, making it exponentially cheaper and faster, with innovative sequencing technologies and a global network of laboratories that turn samples into answers in hours, not weeks.

    Now we are expanding that same disruptive model across all of genomics. With the launch of our new RNA-seq service, we are taking a bold step toward our vision to sequence everything, providing scientists everywhere with faster, simpler, and more affordable access to the data that powers discovery.

    Every team member at Plasmidsaurus plays a crucial role in driving the future of biotech research. Together, we are building the world’s most efficient sequencing engine that operates overnight, scales globally, and helps scientists make breakthroughs faster than ever before.

    Plasmidsaurus is hiring a Senior Product Manager to help manage our flagship plasmid sequencing portfolio. This is a dream role for someone looking to improve and accelerate molecular biology research. You’ll be instrumental in helping us unleash the next wave of our groundbreaking sequencing services, as well as in building and defining how Product functions at Plasmidsaurus.

    What You’ll Bring to the Team

    • Deep knowledge of modern cloning techniques including Gibson assembly, Golden Gate and Gateway cloning, and gene synthesis approaches.

    • Extensive experience with molecular biology techniques (plasmid/primer design, PCR, transformation, nucleic acid extraction), analysis tools (SnapGene, Benchling, ApE, Geneious), and functional genomics experimental designs such as loss- and gain-of-function screens.

    • A minimum of 5 years’ experience launching products or services that deliver clear customer value, including managing the full workflow from sample preparation through data analysis.

    • Proven ability to drive revenue from established products through pricing, positioning, and promotional strategies

    • Experience influencing and collaborating effectively with customers and internal teams to drive successful outcomes.

    • Expertise in building product roadmaps and managing the full product lifecycle.
