About Telesis Bio
Telesis Bio is transforming how researchers move from digital biological designs to physical DNA. As artificial intelligence and computational biology dramatically accelerate the design of therapeutic candidates, a new challenge is emerging: turning those digital designs into physical biology quickly enough to test, learn, and iterate. Telesis Bio is helping close that gap.
Our synthetic biology technologies, including the Gibson SOLA® platform, enable researchers to rapidly access high-quality synthetic DNA and accelerate workflows across antibody discovery, mRNA therapeutics, cell and gene therapy, and other areas of drug discovery. We are looking for a Technical Sales Specialist who can combine scientific credibility with a strong commercial mindset to help researchers understand how Telesis Bio can accelerate the path from digital design to experimental validation.
The Role
The Technical Sales Specialist will serve as a technical commercial partner throughout the customer engagement process, working closely with Business Development to identify, qualify, develop, and advance opportunities across biotech, pharmaceutical, and life sciences organizations. This is a highly customer-facing role for someone who combines strong molecular biology expertise with commercial acumen and enjoys understanding complex scientific workflows, identifying technical requirements and bottlenecks, and translating those needs into solutions using Telesis Bio technologies and platforms.
You will engage scientists, research leaders, automation teams, and other technical decision-makers to understand how DNA moves through their workflows and help define how Gibson SOLA can enable faster, more scalable movement from digital sequence design to physical DNA and experimental validation.

Why Telesis Bio
AI is changing how quickly scientists can design potential therapeutics. But designing a sequence is only the beginning. Those designs still need to become physical molecules that researchers can build, test, and learn from.
At Telesis Bio, you'll help scientists close that gap – connecting increasingly powerful digital discovery tools with the physical biology required to turn promising ideas into real experiments. You'll join a small, collaborative team where your work has direct visibility and where commercial insights can influence how we position, develop, and bring our technologies to market.
