About the Company

We are a vibrant and intensely mission-driven team in San Francisco, comprising members from MIT, Harvard Medical School, Roche, ETH, and Dana-Farber.
We value speed and rigor, coupled with excitement, drive, and a strong work ethic.
In an early-stage environment, we value people who can bring clarity to open-ended problems, take ownership of the next steps, and follow through with energy.
Most biotechs take weeks to go from synthesis to animal data. At Capable, it happens in one day.
We do not know of another lab on earth running this loop at this speed.
Capable Labs is a place for ambitious, high-integrity people who want to become dramatically better.
You will be surrounded by people who care intensely about the work, get close feedback from the people making scientific and company-defining decisions, and have room to own increasingly important problems.
We believe excellent work should be met with meaningful reward, ownership, and trust.
Responsibility is earned through contribution, not title alone: anyone who demonstrates the judgment, rigor, and follow-through to move important work forward can earn meaningful scope.
This is a place for people who want to get dramatically better, fast.
You'll have direct access to the founding team, close feedback from the people making the scientific calls, and room to own increasingly important problems.
Responsibility here follows contribution, not title.
Nights just give you more room to contribute.
