About Us
Portal Biotech has built the world’s only platform capable of sequencing full-length proteins at the single-molecule level. Using our nanopore technology, we read intact proteins of any size, capturing both sequence and post-translational modifications in a way no other system can. This opens up entirely new ways to understand protein biology, with applications across drug discovery, diagnostics, and biosecurity. Our technology works and customers are engaging. We’re now focused on scaling, turning breakthrough science into products that deliver real biological insight as we move beyond Series A towards global product launch. Position Overview
We are seeking Senior Development Scientists to join our Product Development efforts as part of our DevOps team, based at our headquarters in Scale Space, White City, London. This role spans early feasibility studies through to longer-term biological product development, with responsibility for shaping technical direction and delivery within the team. You will lead the design and execution of experimental programmes to optimise biological products and workflows, generating clear, well-controlled data to guide strategic decisions. Promising prototypes will be matured into reliable, reproducible solutions integrated into our platform, supporting the progression from concept to commercially viable product. Alongside hands-on laboratory leadership, you will manage and develop team members, drive delivery against project timelines, and ensure workstreams are prioritised in line with company objectives. You will communicate clearly and effectively with both senior leadership and junior colleagues, ensuring alignment, transparency, and strong technical execution across the team. Key Responsibilities
