The posting

Seeking a sharp, curious, high-agency Operations Generalist to join LatchBio!

LatchBio The convergence of laboratory automation, high-throughput assays, and machine learning is moving the medium of biological discovery to silicon. At LatchBio, we are building AI and data infrastructure to accelerate biopharma R&D.

Present snapshot

- We are 100+ engineers and operators in San Francisco solving the data bottleneck in biology.

- Data in biotech has increased 10,000x over the past 10 years.

- AI in biopharma will 20x in 7 years. $200m to $4b, 54% CAGR.

- We build ubiquitous software, storage, pipelines, & machine learning for all of biology.

- 50+ new biotech companies onboarded in the past 12 months. $28M Series A from Lux Capital, Coatue, and General Catalyst.

Operations Generalist We’re growing fast, and every week brings a new problem nobody has solved yet. One week it’s finance, the next it’s hiring, a customer contract, an AI partnership, or an infrastructure bill that doubled overnight.

You’ll work directly with the COO and Chief of Staff on the company’s most important problems. This isn’t a support role or a ticket queue. You’ll get real problems with real stakes, and you’ll be trusted to figure them out. It’s one of the fastest ways to learn how a high-growth company actually works.

Who you are

- Fast learner. You don’t need to know how to do something yet. Give you a week and you’ll know it better than most.

- Gets things done. You finish what you start, follow up, and close loops without being chased.

- Comfortable with ambiguity. Hand you a messy, half-defined problem and you’ll come back with structure and a plan.

- Detail-oriented, with the bigger picture in mind. You sweat the small stuff because you understand how it connects to everything else.

- Clear communicator. Concise in writing and in person, and equally at home with engineers, scientists, salespeople, and founders.

- Low ego, high ownership. No task is beneath you, and no problem is too big to take a swing at.

What you’ll actually do Some examples of problems you might own in your first few months:

- Figure out how we hire 60 engineers in 90 days, then help make it happen

- Dig into our cloud bill and find six figures of savings

- Build the financial model leadership uses to make hiring and spend decisions

- Learn to redline a customer contract and keep deals moving

- Stand up a system from scratch the first time we need it, whether that’s vendor management, compliance tracking, or office expansion

- Drop into whatever is on fire this week and leave it better than you found it

What we look for

- 0–3 years of experience; startup, consulting, banking, or other high-intensity backgrounds are a plus

- Strong analytical skills; you’re dangerous in a spreadsheet

- Excited about AI, biotech, or SaaS

- Bias toward action and iteration over perfection

- Genuinely enjoying this kind of work and bringing your personality to the team

What it’s like to work at Latch

- Salary: $150K – $190K

- Unlimited PTO policy

- Every lunch and dinner is paid for ($18K annual value)

- 100% premium covered on Blue Shield’s platinum health plan ($0 premium, $0 deductible) and 50% premium coverage for dependents. 100% coverage for top-tier Guardian dental and vision plans. ($15K value)

- Ambitious equity incentives

- 401(k) plan options

- Company-sponsored professional development

- Work visa sponsorship ($15K value)

- Team-wide science reading groups

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
