About Us:

Zymofix is a dynamic and innovative scale-up dedicated to fostering sustainable and circular agriculture. We specialize in creating effective and economically viable microbial products designed to reduce farmers' reliance on agrochemicals while maintaining high productivity. Positioned at the forefront of sustainable agriculture, we are committed to delivering cutting-edge solutions that empower farmers to grow healthy crops and improve yields without resorting to chemical fertilizers. Zymofix is planning the construction of an industrial-scale demonstration plant in 2027.

Job Description & Key Responsibilities:

We are looking for a motivated, detail-oriented Production Technician to join our microbial production team. In this role, you will play a key part in producing beneficial microorganisms used in biostimulant, biocontrol, and biofertilizer products that support healthy crop growth. Training will be provided, so prior microbiology experience is not required — though it's a plus. Curiosity and attention to detail matter most.

Your tasks:

  • You independently carry out production tasks according to standard procedures: you prepare supplies, sterilize, inoculate, harvest and handle downstream processing.
  • You work under sterile conditions and strictly follow hygiene and sterility protocols, giving contamination no chance.
  • You safeguard product quality at every stage by performing in-process quality and sterility checks.
  • You help with downstream processing and carry out quantification checks as part of the final quality control.
  • You actively contribute to continuous improvement (TPM) and help find solutions when problems arise.
