OVERVIEW Sway is a California biomaterials startup harnessing the power of seaweed to create compostable replacements for single-use plastics. We are focused on developing and scaling high-performance, seaweed-based, thin film LDPE replacements. Sway's technology drops into traditional plastic infrastructure, while simultaneously replenishing ocean health, sequestering carbon, promoting regenerative materials, and ultimately creating a more inclusive climate movement. THE ROLE We are excited to add this key position to our product development and research teams and bring on a highly motivated polymer guru with top-notch experience in synthesizing novel materials. This role will be a key driver to our PD process, and lead the improvement and creation of novel seaweed-based material formulas. Successful candidates will have a passion for and experience with packaging and the principles of the circular economy.  RESPONSIBILITIES • Synthesize, design, formulate, and...
