## Job description

At Alamar, we are passionate about enabling our customers to make scientific discoveries that translate into clinical outcomes and benefit patients. Our team is growing quickly as we develop innovative approaches to measure critical protein biomarkers from liquid samples that can enable the earliest possible detection of disease. We believe the next frontier in biology is enabled by measuring proteins at higher sensitivity in highly multiplexed assays at the push of a button, which is something only Alamar can do. As we build our team, we seek collaborative, driven, intellectually curious people committed to solving complex challenges. Our culture rewards accountability and cross functional teamwork because we believe this enables the kind of breakthrough thinking that will accelerate our mission.

We are seeking a Scientist I, Technology Development, with a passion for innovation to join our technology development team to work on our novel protein detection platform. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in assay development, immunoassays, molecular biology, biochemistry, and data analysis, along with a passion for translating novel technologies into robust products. The fast-paced nature of this position requires excellent attention to detail, strong communication skills, the ability to multitask and work independently, and flexibility with evolving priorities and schedules. This is a full-time, onsite role based in Fremont.

Responsibilities include:

- Design and execute experiments to develop multiplex biomarker assays.
- Apply laboratory skills and experience to generate high-quality data in developing new technologies and new biomarker assays.
- Maintain accurate records of work performed, including reagents, methodology, and results. Perform data analysis and report results.
- Examine the impacts of multiple variables on assay performance and perform troubleshooting as needed.
- Support in-house engineers to integrate and adapt different assay workflows onto Alamar’s proprietary instrument platform.

Requirements include:

- PhD degree in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or related field; Or MS degree with minimum of 3 years of industrial experience.
- 3+ years of hands-on experience running ELISA, qPCR, or similar, as well as experience in generating, analyzing, and reviewing data from those assays are required.
- A demonstrated ability to follow SOPs and document results is critical.
- Strong organizational skills are required.
- Self-motivation with a positive “can do” attitude, attention to detail, and ability to manage complex projects are critical.
- Strong communication skills to work within a multidisciplinary team environment required.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience with immunoassay technologies such as NULISA, SIMOA, PLA, or similar technologies
- Experience in developing multiplex assays is desirable.
- Experience in automation or in using automated liquid handlers is a plus.
- Experience in IVD product development with ELISA immunoassay and/or NGS is a plus.
- Experience in using R or other data analysis tools, such as JMP and Prism, is a plus.
- Data management skills are highly beneficial.

The base salary range for this full-time position is $120,000 - $140,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by work location, job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

## About Alamar Biosciences

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Alamar Biosciences develops a precision proteomics platform that enables ultra-high sensitivity, multiplex protein analysis from minimal sample volumes to power the earliest detection of disease.
- **Entity Type**: Public (IPO on April 17, 2026; Market Cap: $1.37B as of search date)
- **Headquarters**: Fremont, California, USA
- **Founded**: 2018
- **Founders**: Yuling Luo, PhD (Co-founder, CEO and Chair), Yiyuan Yin, PhD (Co-founder, COO and Director), and Xiao-Jun Ma, PhD (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Precision proteomics / Biotechnology / Diagnostics
- **Target customers**: B2B – Academic researchers, pharmaceutical companies, clinical diagnostic labs, and biomarker discovery groups.
- **Mission or purpose**: “Powering precision proteomics to enable the earliest detection of disease.”

## Products & Services
- **NULISA Chemistry & Consumables**: A proprietary assay technology (Nucleic Acid Linked Immuno-Sandwich Assay) that combines ultra-high sensitivity with high specificity, capable of analyzing hundreds of protein biomarkers in a single 10 µL biofluid sample. Available in pre-configured panels (e.g., NULISAseq™ Neuro 220 Panel for neurological disease research).
- **ARGO System**: An all-in-one automated instrument with onboard qPCR that runs NULISA assays from sample to result, enabling walk-away automation for both single-plex and multiplex biomarker analysis.
- **Alamar Software**: A comprehensive data analysis and visualization platform that integrates with the ARGO instrument to turn raw data into actionable insights.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: $1.37 billion market cap (post-IPO, April 2026)
- **Key Metric**: Total funding raised prior to IPO: $254 million. Annual revenue not publicly disclosed.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Illumina Ventures, Sands Capital, T. Rowe Price, Braidwell, Alzheimer’s Disease Data Initiative, and others.
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - Successfully completed IPO in April 2026.
  - Launched NULISAseq™ Neuro 220 Panel, the company’s largest precision proteomics panel.
  - Demonstrated compatibility of home-collected fingerstick samples with ultra-high-sensitivity multiplex proteomics.
  - Filed 8 patents covering key technologies (e.g., NULISA, immunologic tests, molecular biology).

## Competitive Advantages
- **Ultra-sensitivity & specificity**: NULISA technology achieves sensitivity rivaling single-plex assays while enabling high-plex panels, addressing a key trade-off in proteomics.
- **Automation-friendly**: The ARGO system delivers a fully integrated, walk-away workflow, reducing hands-on time and variability.
- **Low sample volume**: Requires only 10 µL of biofluid, enabling studies with precious or limited samples (e.g., fingerstick blood).
- **Proven team**: Founders and senior scientists previously created RNAscope™, a widely adopted in situ hybridization technology, demonstrating a track record of successful innovation.

## Strategic Focus
- Expand the NULISA panel menu into new therapeutic areas (neurodegeneration, oncology, inflammation).
- Drive adoption of the ARGO platform in both research and clinical diagnostic settings.
- Leverage IPO proceeds to scale manufacturing, commercial team, and global sales presence (hiring for roles in EMEA, China, Japan, and the US).
- Continue R&D investments in next-generation assay chemistry and software.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Emphasizes integrity, excellence, passion, respect, inclusion, and collaboration. Fosters continuous learning, out-of-the-box thinking, and risk-taking.
