R&D-Biotech engineer

Global data creation is exploding. Only 30% of the world's data is durably stored. Data centers already consume around 2% of global electricity. As volumes double every few years, the silicon-based storage model is reaching structural limits.

Biomemory is a global pioneer in the DNA data storage market. Biomemory develops IT-friendly DNA Data Storage and cybersecurity solutions engineered for data center environments.

Our interoperable, modular architecture combines biosecure DNA media, industrialized end-to-end write/store/read processes, and interoperable IT interface to create a new storage tier optimized for density, longevity and operational efficiency.

Headquartered in Paris, Biomemory aims to serve the fast-growing international cold storage market.

Join us in rewriting the future of data storage

About the role

Your missions

As an R&D Biotech Engineer, you will contribute to a broad range of experimental R&D activities supporting Biomemory’s DNA data storage technologies. The role is primarily focused on molecular biology, with exposure to biomaterials, material characterization, assay development, and process optimization. This is a highly hands‑on, flexible, and execution-oriented role for someone who enjoys exploring new scientific problems, finding practical solutions, and turning ideas into experiments.

Main Responsibilities

• Perform and optimize molecular biology experiments.
• Work across a high diversity of experimental activities, including DNA manipulation, enzymatic reactions, purification, automation, quality control, sequencing preparation and launch, material characterization…
• Support the Hardware team in characterizing materials and surfaces used in our biological processes and assessing their compatibility and impact on performance.
• Design and execute experiments to evaluate new methods, reagents, materials, and technologies.
• Troubleshoot experimental issues and propose creative and practical solutions.
• Analyze experimental results and translate them into clear presentation, reports, conclusions and next steps.
• Contribute to improving workflows for robustness, reproducibility, scalability, and cost efficiency.
• Maintain rigorous experimental documentation, protocols, SOPs, and traceability.
• Organize and prioritize experimental work autonomously across several projects.
• Adapt quickly to evolving R&D priorities and contribute wherever needed.

About You

Profile

• Degree in Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Bioengineering, Biochemistry, or a related field.
• Strong hands‑on R&D experience, mostly in molecular biology.
• Biochemical experience or background is welcome.
• Experience with several of the following:
  • DNA manipulation and purification
  • Enzymatic reactions and DNA assembly
  • Electrophoresis and analytical methods
  • Sequencing or library preparation
  • Material or surface characterization

What we are looking for

• Highly motivated, hands‑on, and execution-oriented
• Flexible and adaptable, comfortable moving between different projects and priorities
• Creative and comfortable solving new experimental problems
• Extremely organized, meticulous, and rigorous
• Autonomous in structuring, planning, and executing work
• Reliable and committed to following actions through to completion
• Proactive and solution-oriented
• Able to manage several experimental activities in parallel
• Comfortable working in a fast‑moving R&D environment
• Strong team spirit and willingness to contribute outside a narrowly defined scope
• Ability to gather and merge input from multiple areas to inform experimental design and data analysis.

Nice‑to‑Have

• Laboratory automation experience
• NGS or third‑generation sequencing experience
• Experience with biomaterials, surface characterization, or process industrialization
