Work at the Edge of Biology and Intention

Arasaka BioTech is not a workplace. It is a discipline. We design living systems the way others design software — with rigor, beauty, and absolute responsibility. If you are drawn to precision, power, and purpose, you will feel at home here. If you are satisfied by noise and spectacle, you will not. We build the infrastructure of a civilization that refuses to end.

Culture — Discipline, Clarity, Continuity

Our culture is minimal and exacting. We do not worship hours; we worship outcomes. We do not confuse speed with impact. We value silence, deep focus, clean interfaces, and the courage to say “no” to anything that dilutes the mission. You will ship, you will learn, you will be held to standards that most organizations avoid.

• Discipline:Every experiment is reproducible. Every decision has a reason.
• Clarity:Fewer meetings, more writing. Fewer layers, more ownership.
• Continuity:We build systems that outlive us — architectures that improve with time.

Tracks — What We’re Actively Hiring

• Molecular & Cellular Engineering:genome design, vector engineering, regenerative protocols, wet-lab automation.
• Bioinformatics & ML for Biology:multimodal models, protein/RNA design, simulation and generative pipelines.
• Neural Interfaces & Bio-Compute:low-latency I/O, signal processing, neuroprosthetics, closed-loop control.
• Robotics & Biomanufacturing:microfluidics, lab robotics, QC/QA automation, digital twins of wet-lab processes.
• Security & Governance:data provenance, auditability, compliance engineering, safety systems.
• Product & Design:scientific tooling UX, operator consoles, visual languages for living data.
• Operations:lab operations, supplier networks, ethical review coordination, program management.

If you don’t see a perfect match but know you can bend reality in our direction, write to us — we hire exceptional people, not keywords.

What We Expect

• Rigor:You understand that “almost reproducible” is a failure mode.
• Taste:You care about names, interfaces, variable scopes, and lab layouts — details that compound into excellence.
• Agency:You propose, design, execute, and document. You do not wait for permission to be useful.
• Ethics:You wield power carefully. You can explain your decisions and accept review.
• Calm:You can move fast without panic and slow down without losing momentum.

Process — Precise, Respectful, Fast

• Signal:Email us a concise note and a pointer to real work (paper, repo, build, protocol, video).
• Dialogue:45–60 minutes with future teammates. No puzzles. Real problems, real constraints.
• Deep Dive:Take-home or live session tailored to your domain. Reasoning > polish.
• On-site / Virtual Lab Walkthrough:Meet cross-disciplinary partners. Discuss ethics and failure cases.
• Offer:Clear scope, clear scorecard, clear runway. We move quickly.

We calibrate for signal, not theater. Interviews should feel like collaboration, not performance.

Ethics — Power Under Control

We operate one of the strictest ethical frameworks in the industry. All work is versioned, auditable, and reversible. Systems are built with human-in-the-loop control paths and shutdown protocols. If you want to shape civilization, you must first be worthy of it.

Locations & Modes

Hubs in Tokyo, Berlin, and Vancouver. Hybrid roles vary by track; lab roles are primarily on-site. Remote considered for exceptional candidates building core software, security, or ML systems. We sponsor relocation for critical hires.

Benefits — Designed for Deep Work

• Ownership with long-horizon upside aligned to mission impact.
• Time designed for focus: minimal meetings, deep-work blocks, quiet labs.
• Top-tier equipment and budgets for tools you actually use.
• Clear review cycles; growth measured in responsibility and results.
• Ethics, safety, and security training that respects your intelligence.

Join the Continuity

If you can move the frontier responsibly, we want to hear from you. Send a brief signal — who you are, what you’ve built, what you want to build next. Include one artifact that proves your taste and rigor.
