Adaptyv · Lausanne
Adaptyv is building an automated lab that lets AI agents run biology experiments. We're entering the era of agentic science where AI models can now design novel proteins, propose hypotheses, and iterate on experimental results. But they can't run the experiments themselves - that's still a manual, months-long process. We're building the infrastructure that gives AI agents access to the physical world. We are one of the fastest growing biotech companies, trusted by leading biopharmas, frontier AI labs, and the techbio companies pushing the field forward. This is a rare chance to help advance some of the most important work happening in biotech today. Our automated lab is powered by a deep software + hardware stack: lab instruments worth millions of USD reverse-engineered into API-controllable hardware, dozens of devices orchestrated through complex workflows, full observability on everything that happens in the lab, processing pipelines for messy physical-world data, and AI systems that troubleshoot production results and accelerate assay development. We’re growing rapidly and are hiring for talented people to scale and support the massive demand for AI-driven wet lab experimentation. About the Role Adaptyv is growing fast. We are significantly expanding our lab this year, onboarding more and more customers every week, and building the systems needed to keep the company running smoothly as we scale. We are looking for a Business Operations Intern or Working Student to join our operations team in Lausanne. This is a hands-on generalist role where you will work directly with the founders and operations team on practical projects across the company. This role requires high agency and an entrepreneurial mindset. You should be comfortable switching between different types of work and taking ownership. What You'll Do Use AI tools to improve workflows that are still too manual, messy, or slow Help onboard new customers to our platform Support finance administration Coordinate with suppliers and service providers Assist with lab expansion logistics related to our new lab in Lausanne Support events, customer visits, and internal company coordination Build lightweight tools and automations using Claude Code, Python, Notion, no-code tools, or whatever gets the job done What We're Looking For Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a Bachelor's or Master's program. A background in biology is not a hard requirement. If you're coming from a different field, a genuine interest in the life sciences is important to us. Entrepreneurial and self-directed. You spot problems before anyone asks and take action Strong with AI tools, especially Claude Code or Codex. You use them to build real workflows, not just draft emails Hands-on, organized, and reliable. You follow through, keep things tidy, and don't let things fall through the cracks You thrive in a dynamic role where priorities can change quickly, and you are comfortable jumping between projects, responsibilities, and urgent operational needs Details Location: Lausanne, Switzerland (on-site) Commitment: Minimum 3 months, minimum 16 hours per week (Working Student), or Full Time (Internship) Start Date: ASAP Application deadline We are reviewing applicants on a rolling basis.
