Amyris, Inc. is a pioneering industrial biotechnology company renowned for delivering renewable products that contribute to positive global change. Founded over a decade ago with the mission of leveraging science for a sustainable future, Amyris has developed innovative proprietary processes to convert plant-sourced sugars into renewable chemicals through highly engineered yeast organisms. This groundbreaking approach first materialized in producing a cost-effective and stable source of artemisinin—an essential anti-malarial drug—saving countless lives by stabilizing the treatment's accessibility and affordability for malaria affected regions.

With headquarters located in Emeryville, California, and key operations based in Brazil through partnerships such as Aprinnova, Amyris's global footprint signifies its status as one of the fastest-growing entities in industrial biotechnology. The company is proud to have cultivated an internal environment of fun, teamwork, ethics, and accountability while offering competitive compensation packages and promoting wellness initiatives.
