About Biolyz
Biolyz is a saliva-based biomarker testing solution. We provide daily saliva testing with a 24h analysis timeline for over 125+ biomarkers. We leverage biomarkers to predict injuries and performance for athlete teams.
Based in Austria, we collaborate with top football clubs and high-level sports organizations, offering a fast-paced, innovative environment where your expertise can have a real impact.
Your Responsibilities
TL;DR: You're developing and validating robust, cost-effective LC‑MS methods to expand our biomarker panel. Your work directly impacts scalability, speed, and scientific excellence at Biolyz. You'll help build methods that are cheaper, faster, and more robust—while making sure they're fully validated and documented for ISO and scale-up readiness.
* Develop and optimize targeted LC-MS methods to measure a growing panel of biomarkers in human saliva
* Drive innovation in LC-MS by creating cheaper, faster, and more scalable methods with high robustness and throughput
* Validate methods in accordance with internal and regulatory standards—ensuring repeatability, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity
* Build documentation for each method including validation protocols, results, and SOPs—supporting internal audits and ISO compliance
* Translate development work into scalable, automated lab procedures and document them within our LIMS system
* Assist in achieving ISO accreditation by establishing robust validation frameworks and ensuring traceability of all method development steps
* Support technical troubleshooting, instrument maintenance (e.g. Shimadzu, Sciex), and continuous improvement in daily operations
* Contribute directly to the growth of Biolyz's analyte portfolio and biomarker pipeline
* Work in close alignment with lab staff and cross-functional teams to ensure smooth method handover into production
* Participate in shift-based work schedules occasionally, including possible weekend shifts depending on lab demand
Your Profile
* MSc with relevant industry experience or PhD in Analytical Chemistry, Bioanalytics, Chemistry, or a closely related discipline
* 3–7 years of hands-on experience in LC-MS method development, particularly in targeted quantitative assays
* Proven experience validating bioanalytical methods in accordance to ICH M10 to support robustness, reproducibility, and ISO conformity
* Strong command of HPLC and micro-LC platforms; experience with Sciex MS and Shimadzu LC systems highly desirable
* Deep knowledge of high-throughput, high-multiplexing LC-MS methods; experience with 2D LC is a plus
* Familiarity with human biological matrices, especially saliva or blood
* Ideally some exposure to untargeted metabolomics or lipidomics
* Meticulous approach to documentation, method transfer, and SOP development
* Comfortable working under pressure in a dynamic, scale-up lab environment
