About the role
About Again At Again, we are advancing a new industrial era. AI-powered biocatalysts. No oil. No sugar. By combining millennia-old bacteria with cutting-edge technology, we turn waste gases into the products that matter. We have raised over $100m in funding from both top investors such as Google Ventures or HV Capital, and leading grant funding programmes such as European Union’s Horizon 2020. We are a growing team of experienced scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs from the DTU, Stanford, MIT (and more) who are passionate about revolutionizing the chemical industry.
