Cellsense transforms algae and cellulose into sustainable embellishments and beaded fabrics for the fashion, jewelry, and beauty industries. Our proprietary material replaces sources of microplastics and heavy metal pollution while offering designers a wide range of brilliant colors, clarities, and properties such as fluorescence. Our manufacturing system cuts lead time for customized beaded products from weeks to days by eliminating expensive tooling and tedious manual labor. Cellsense is VC-backed, and we are currently scaling our process while running paid pilots with industry partners, with inbound interest from 55+ companies. You would be joining at a particularly exciting stage of growth.

We're looking for a Materials Scientist to lead formulation and chemistry development at Cellsense as we scale. You'll work across our biopolymer systems to improve material clarity, surface finish, durability, and processing behavior, and support the transition of formulations from lab to manufacturing.

As a key member of a small, collaborative team, you'll work closely with our founder, engineering team, and technical advisors. This role offers meaningful ownership and direct impact on the development and deployment of Cellsense's next-generation materials.
