Custodian

We are hiring a Custodian whose primary focus will be keeping our facility clean and in order. You will be a part of the Science Operations team – a close-knit group of dedicated, resourceful humans, handling all things labs, facilities, and logistics.

About you:

You’re a hands-on caretaker who treats the building like your home – stepping in to keep every corner welcoming and functional. Meticulous and resourceful, you follow routines, tackle minor issues before they grow, and pivot effortlessly as needs shift. You have a “find it, fix it” mentality and are always willing to jump in and help where needed, even without being asked.

What you’ll do in this role:

• Clean office spaces and common areas – vacuuming, mopping, trash collection, wiping down surfaces, and more
• Maintain spotless restrooms and kitchenettes across both buildings
• Assist with inventory, stocking, and ordering supplies
• Proactively identify upkeep needs (spills, scuffs, clutter) and tackle them without waiting for direction
• Assemble furniture, mount fixtures, and handle basic workspace reconfigurations (including the occasional event setup)
• Partner on team projects that improve facility functionality and organization
• Provide occasional weekend or holiday coverage, with opportunities for overtime as needs arise

You might thrive in this role if:

• Aren’t intimidated by getting dirty and cleaning things you have never cleaned before
• Enjoy variety and wearing multiple hats, switching between cleaning, stocking, and simple upkeep duties
• Are detail-oriented and organized and take pride in keeping workspaces, surfaces, and supply closets in top shape
• Adapt quickly to changing needs and priorities, staying flexible in Retro’s dynamic environment
• Have the physical stamina to lift up to 50 lbs, climb ladders safely, and move around the facility with ease
• Are comfortable using basic digital tools for simple inventory tracking and supply requests
• Show a “find it, fix it” mindset, proactively spotting and addressing small issues to improve our labs and offices

$28 – $31 an hour

Total compensation also includes generous equity and benefits including:

– Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family
– 401(k) plan with 4% matching
– Flexible time off and 10 company holidays per year
– Annual learning & development stipend
– Daily Retro-sponsored lunch and snacks
