Today, fewer than 5% of new cancer drugs succeed in clinical trials.
Clearly, new methods are needed.
We combine cutting-edge biology and AI to build the next generation of insight platforms with a large cohort of patient-derived tumor avatars.
These avatars fuel our predictive engine, helping to anticipate clinical outcomes, validate therapies and uncover new drug candidates.
By generating multimodal, real-world data, we aim to make drug development smarter, faster and more personalized.
We collaborate with leading hospitals, research institutes and pharmaceutical companies.
Backed by leading investors, Orakl is a fast-growing, mission-driven startup at the intersection of biology, automation and AI.
Position overviewOrakl runs a high-throughput 3D cell‑culture platform to culture patient-derived organoids (PDOs).
These patient-derived specimens reveal critical information into the patient disease, but require heavy maintenance work.
Automating these workflows will be critical to improve the reliability and traceability of experimental work.
We are hiring our first automation lead to build the Automation function from scratch.
This is a high ownership and high autonomy job.
You will map our processes, decide what to automate and what to leave alone, specify and source the equipment, negotiate with vendors and integrators, commission the machines, run them with the lab team, and hire the people the function needs.
As the ideal candidate, you have already put automated lines or special machines into service, and you know what typically breaks between commissioning and the first experimental runs.
While previous experience in biology is a plus, it is not a strict requirement: you will be taught all you need to know.
However, you do need a proven experience in working deeply embedded in interdisciplinary teams.
