YC W25 Biotech Startup Hiring – Build Programmable Therapeutic Vines

We’re EPIVINE—engineering self-replicating vines that deliver epigenetic age-reversal therapies as over-the-counter botanical supplements, bypassing pharma patents. Backed by YC, we’re turning plants into living pharmacies.

We’re hiring:

1. Senior Synthetic Biologist – Engineer dCas9-p300 nanostructures & optimize epigenetic editing. 2. Biomaterials Engineer – Design shape-memory alloy scaffolds that guide vine growth. 3. Computational Biologist – Model aging reversal (H3K9me3) and analyze epigenetic beacon data. 4. Full-Stack Biotech Dev – Build the IoT and data platform for our smart vineyards. 5. Head of Regulatory Strategy – Navigate FDA botanical supplement pathways and secure OTC status.

Why join? Founder-market fit (published epigenetic plant research), massive aging/wellness market, 3 provisional patents, and YC network. Located in South San Francisco.

*Apply:* Don’t send a resume. Pick a role, build something relevant in 48 hours, and email it to [email protected] the subject: `[Role] – [Your Name] – 48hr Build`.

We’re building the future where your garden treats disease. Help us grow it.
