Help us accelerate life-savingscience together
BenchSci is on a mission to unravel the complexity of disease biology for the betterment of patients.
Our platform helps scientists make better decisions and bring medicines to patients faster
We work on problems no one has solved before. That means ambiguity is constant, priorities evolve, and decisions are often made without perfect information. Progress isn't linear — and that's what makes the work meaningful.
If you're energized by building in uncertainty and taking ownership before everything is figured out, you'll thrive here. If you prefer predictability and fully defined paths, this may not be the right environment.
We're applying AI to one of the most important challenges there is — improving human health — and that purpose drives us every day.
Why it matters
More than 80% of diseases still have no treatment, clinical failure rates remain high, and it takes over a decade and billions of dollars for a single drug to reach patients — if it ever does.
Those numbers represent real people.
At the core of the problem is a lack of deep understanding of disease biology. Without that foundation, drug discovery is slower, riskier, and less predictable than it needs to be.
BenchSci decodes disease biology at scale, helping scientists design and execute experiments with greater confidence and speed.
With stronger evidence earlier in the process, targets are identified with greater conviction, programs advance with clearer direction, and potential treatments have a better chance of reaching patients.
You help accelerate that impact.
How we work
Act with urgency
We prioritize outcomes over process and clarity over complexity. We make the best decisions we can with the information available, move forward, and improve as we learn. We expect people to own outcomes — and support them to succeed.
Collaborate across disciplines
Progress at BenchSci requires close, ongoing collaboration across science, engineering, product, and design. The problems we tackle can't be solved in isolation — they demand shared context and tight partnership.
AI-first by design
AI is our default starting point for how we think, build, and operate. Everyone is expected to experiment, build fluency, and use AI to increase their impact.
Operate globally
We support partners around the world. That sometimes requires flexibility in working hours and responsiveness across time zones. We aim for balance while recognizing our work has global reach.
Who thrives here
This is a fast, dynamic environment with real stakes. People build, adapt, take ownership early, and leave a lasting mark.
Owning outcomes
You take initiative, make decisions, and drive work forward without waiting for direction.
Comfort with ambiguity
Priorities shift, and answers aren't always clear. You can navigate change without losing momentum.
Tenacity for hard problems
Breakthroughs require grit, deep thinking, and persistence. Roadblocks focus you rather than derail you.

What we value
Our FASTT values are the foundation of how we build BenchSci. They guide how we make decisions, set priorities, and show up for one another.
Focus
We focus on the work that will drive the greatest impact for scientists and patients. That means identifying the most important problems, directing our energy there, and resisting distractions. We stay open to new information and opportunities, without losing sight of the outcomes that matter most.
Advancement
We believe in the power of science and technology to improve lives, and we apply that same mindset to ourselves. We learn through experience, iterate quickly, and look for better ways to work. Progress should be meaningful, not change for its own sake.
Speed
Momentum is one of our greatest advantages. We protect it by breaking work into meaningful steps that move us forward. We make decisions with the information we have, plant clear flags, and iterate rather than waiting for perfection. Speed means reducing friction and keeping work moving forward.
Tenacity
Working at the intersection of biomedical science and AI means answers are rarely obvious. We push through setbacks, explore multiple paths, and adapt when the data tells us to pivot. Tenacity is about persistence — paired with good judgment.
Transparency
We value clarity and open communication. Information isn’t a form of currency; it’s a tool for better judgment. We speak honestly, surface diverse perspectives, and don’t shy away from hard conversations. While we can’t share everything or always in real time, we aim to be as open as possible while balancing professionalism, confidentiality, and good judgment.

Open roles
No open roles right now
We don't have any roles open at the moment, but we're always growing. Reach out and we'll keep you in mind as new opportunities open up.
Drug programs fail when biology is misunderstood. EMET exists to close that gap — before it closes your pipeline.
