Careers

Fostering a diverse & inclusive environment

The Ginkgo platform has great potential to have an outsized impact on the world, and we need the people building the technology to be representative of the diverse people our technology will impact.

Encouraging creativity & innovation

Biology is hard to engineer. Guided by the example of our founders, Ginkgo team members are encouraged to be lifelong learners, continuing to take risks and propose ambitious solutions to the world’s problems. What if we could grow everything?

Keeping Ginkgo weird

Biology is weird and whimsical, and we celebrate that. We encourage a company culture infused with the wonder that science inspires.

Promoting individual growth & career development

At Ginkgo, we strategically hire people with high ceilings. We believe you can grow as fast as the company grows. There are many ways team members learn and develop at Ginkgo, including through cross-functional team initiatives and by engaging with the suite of training sessions we offer.

Celebrating passion & drive

We want to enable the world to build things with biology. We’re on a mission to create a platform for genetic engineering to be utilized by our customers.

Caring how our platform is used

Our culture is built on care, transparency, diversity, and a deep, humble respect for biology. We care how our platform is used, strategically considering which programs we pursue and which we do not, and exploring the implications of biotechnologies through many forums. 

We also know that designing nature and technology requires us to ask complex questions, and investigate how these tools could impact people, places, and systems. We care how we are growing the collective future of biology.
