Hey! I’m Alfredo, the Co-Founder and CEO of LatchBio. My Co-Founders (Kyle and Kenny) and I are looking for a Chief of Staff to be our right-hand trustee in building and scaling LatchBio! 🧬

You'll be our right-hand person and a force-multiplier for us. It's a super critical and exciting time for the company - we just hit 12 people and we're on the brink of massive product initiatives, doubling usage every couple weeks, and thoughtfully designing the LatchBio culture and internal operating processes! 🚀 Together, we will build intensely over the next years as we enter our hyper-scaling mode!

Thats me on the very left, Kenny (CTO and Co-Founder) next to me and Kyle (COO and Co-Founder) on the very right.

On Saturdays we have our all-team product meetings. They can get pretty intense.

Celebrating Max’s 21st birthday at our old office.

The Chief of Staff position is a high exposure role -- you will get face time with our customers, execs, investors, advisors, and more. Your day to day will consist of sitting in on many of our meetings, helping us prioritize, and doing follow ups as needed. We'll divide work between us and you will also have your own projects to run with based on your unique skillset and background. You'll get intimately familiar with what it means to be a CXO and Founder of a high growth early stage technology startup. It's a great role for rockstars who eventually want to do their own startup or figure out where they want to develop their career within a tech company. As the Chief of Staff, no matter what you want to do after, we will help you get there.

Who we are:

• I was born and raised in Mexico, came to the US to study EECS and Math at UC Berkeley, dropped out my senior year with Kyle and Kenny to start LatchBio.
• We make all big decisions together, there is always a majority which allows us to move very fast. None of us hold veto power based on being the CXO. And once a decision gets made everyone gets behind it and pushes it to its conclusion, then we re-evaluate.
• We enjoy our work above almost anything else, so we made sure that we were working on a problem that we consider impactful on long time-scales.
• Personally my optimization function is around fulfillment. I strongly value my relationships with co-workers, customers, family, my partner and my friends.
• When things are serious we take them very seriously, but when things are not serious we prefer to be easy going and humorous.
• We pride ourselves in straightforward communication and a strong desire to resolve conflict in mutually beneficial ways.
• We are extremely curious to learn about the world as a whole. Specially complex problems and solutions.
• I personally do my best to stay updated about the forefront of data, biology, machine learning, software, startup-land, and the intersection of them all.

TL/DR: To keep it simple, we're growing really fast and we need support in our roles and responsibilities as CXOs! We are looking for a stellar human to help scale us.
