“What I find really special about my role at ZymoChem is the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the trajectory of the company while simultaneously progressing toward my own professional goals. I am afforded the chance to propose and execute my own plans, incorporating skills from project management to lab techniques, while receiving enough support and mentorship to keep me on track with company milestones. Knowing that I am helping pave the way to a cleaner future while learning how to make a bigger impact each day keeps me motivated.
I love working at ZymoChem!”

“I really appreciate that the ZymoChem team is very thoughtful in approaching any challenge we encounter. Day to day that means thinking carefully about what questions we need to answer and how to set up experiments to most efficiently progress toward our goals. But it's also the foundation of how our technology is built and what kind of impact we hope to have on the future: the details matter when making new biosynthetic pathways or building a new green economy. And when we reach an experimental stumbling block and have to refine our approach, having a super-talented team who share a commitment to building a sustainable future keeps new ideas flowing and spirits high.”
