We’re Here to Make a Difference
Synthetic Genomics has a track record of expanding the scientific horizon by delivering solutions that have never been possible. Our dynamic team is passionate, collaborative, accountable, and creative. We love what we do, and it shows.
Innovating for Impact
Synthetic Genomics is a fast-growing company building diverse, talented teams. Employee development is important to us and we know it’s important to you. Our manager/supervisor program focuses on strategies and tools that encourage increased interaction, helps set personal and professional goals, and offers long-term career opportunities. And through our “4I” program, we celebrate our core values by honoring “individuals with integrity innovating for impact.” If you embody these qualities, read on to learn more about our culture and benefits and explore our career opportunities.
Our Culture
We are big thinkers, problem solvers, and hard workers. What makes Synthetic Genomics such a great place to work? It depends on whom you ask, but these tend to be the fan favorites.
We heart science
Understanding biology, ground breaking technologies and solutions, and truly being part of research that is changing the future course of healthcare gets us up every morning.
We have a life outside of work
Work-life balance is important. We want you to have interests beyond the office walls and to make time for you. That’s why we provide full-time employees with designated “wellness days” in addition to generous paid time off, year-end shutdown, and many other benefits.
We’re committed to fun
We’re committed to fun. It’s evident at our quarterly hosted happy hours, department activities, and the holiday party where everyone (OK, almost everyone) is on the dance floor and having fun.
We’re happy to be here
Yes, it is possible to truly love what you do and where you do it. Our headquarter campus in beautiful San Diego, California is abuzz with the energy that comes from doing something with purpose. This is a place where you’ll never get bored.
Diversity and Inclusion
Diversity begets excellence. Synthetic Genomics is building diverse and inclusive teams that give everyone a voice and a sense of belonging. We create a supportive, equitable, and stimulating environment for all employees to lead rewarding careers.
