We're looking for people who want to learn a precision technical trade, build a long-term career, and grow with a fast-moving company.
Experience: 0-4 years
Scientific Safety Alliance (SSA) exists to Accelerate Science. Delightfully. We're a 100% founder- and employee-owned company that has acquired 19 companies in just over 2.5 years and is rising on Inc. Magazine's list of America's fastest-growing privately held companies in both 2024 and 2025.
We serve the life sciences and biotech industries — pharmaceutical, biotech, hospital, and research facilities — keeping the controlled environments and precision instruments behind critical scientific work compliant, accurate, and ready. Our mission is simple: remove the friction so our customers can focus on advancing science.
Calyx is the SSA operating company you'd be joining.
