Join ÄIO team! Four amazing job opportunities!

 

At ÄIO, we are pioneering a sustainable future through precision fermentation and circular innovation. By transforming industrial side-streams into high-value fats and oils. Now, as we grow fast, we’re inviting four new professionals to join us in Estonia and become part of this transformative journey.

Why Join ÄIO?

This is not just another job in the lab. It’s a rare opportunity to work at the forefront of sustainable biotechnology. A sector that is redefining global industries from food to cosmetics.

ÄIO offers a unique chance to:

  • contribute to the development of future-proof ingredients that are better for people and the planet;
  • work side-by-side with internationally renowned scientists and engineers;
  • grow within a team that values collaboration, curiosity, and mission-alignment;
  • operate in state-of-the-art lab and pilot-scale production facilities;
  • be part of a startup culture that encourages autonomy, development, and fresh ideas.

We are currently looking to fill four exciting positions in our Tallinn-based team:

#1. Operational Process Engineer

Support and optimize fermentation and production processes. You’ll prepare, monitor, and maintain pilot-scale equipment, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. If you’re someone who enjoys hands-on technical work, solving challenges on the fly, and contributing to sustainable production systems, this role is for you.

 

#2. Downstream Process Engineer

Take the lead in extraction, purification, and refining of our oil-based products. You’ll work closely with our quality and analytics teams to implement efficient recovery methods and maintain high product standards. A background in process design, oil extraction or bioprocess engineering is especially valued.

#3. Laboratory Technician

Help shape ÄIO’s in-house analytical capabilities. You’ll be involved in everything from sample collection and documentation to method development and HACCP-related tasks. This position is ideal for someone with a passion for microbiology, lab-scale techniques, and data structuring.

#4. Laboratory Secretary

Be the backbone of our lab and office logistics. From inventory coordination and supplier communication to some additional onboarding and event tasks, your work will help the entire team stay focused and efficient. This is a vital role for someone who’s organized, proactive, and ready to keep a fast-paced environment running smoothly.

ÄIO has:

  • a collaborative, international team dedicated to making a positive impact;
  • modern working conditions;
  • access to cutting-edge lab and pilot equipment;
  • personal development and training opportunities;
  • additional wellness benefits, including Stebby sports support and extra holiday days during the winter season.
