Mithrl
Base pay range
$150,000.00/yr - $240,000.00/yr
About Mithrl We imagine a world where new medicines reach patients in months, not years, and where scientific breakthroughs happen at the speed of thought. Mithrl is building the world’s first commercially available AI Co-Scientist. It is a discovery engine that transforms messy biological data into insights in minutes. Scientists ask questions in natural language, and Mithrl responds with real analysis, novel targets, hypotheses, and patent‑ready reports. No coding. No waiting. No bioinformatics bottlenecks. We are one of the fastest‑growing tech‑bio companies in the Bay Area with 12x year‑over‑year revenue growth. Our platform is used across three continents by leading biotechs and big pharmas. We power breakthroughs from early target discovery to mechanism‑of‑action. And we are just getting started.
About the role We are hiring an Application Scientist to help customers unlock the full value of the Mithrl AI Co-Scientist and to produce high‑quality scientific assets that showcase the platform’s capabilities. This role requires a PhD‑level scientist with strong expertise in discovery biology, computational biology, or a related field, combined with excellent communication skills and a passion for working directly with customers and partners.
You will design and run analyses inside Mithrl, build publication‑quality narratives and figures, and support discovery programs across biomarker identification, target discovery, target validation, and early preclinical development. You will also work closely with AEs and sales teams to explain the scientific value of the platform and help convert prospects into successful customers.
This role sits between science, customer engagement, and product. You will surface gaps that prevent customers from achieving true bench‑to‑bench workflows and bring structured feedback into engineering and product. If you enjoy scientific storytelling, applied analysis, customer partnership, and working with cutting‑edge AI tools, you will thrive here.
What you will do
Produce publication‑quality analyses, case studies, whitepapers, and technical assets using Mithrl
Support customers as they use Mithrl for biomarker discovery, target identification, target validation, and early preclinical studies
Design and run analyses using the AI Co‑Scientist and help customers interpret results
Represent Mithrl in scientific and customer‑facing meetings
Surface issues that prevent customers from moving smoothly from analysis to decision‑making and share clear feedback with engineering and product
Support AEs and sales teams with scientific expertise during calls, demos, workshops, and evaluations
Create example analyses and workflows that showcase Mithrl’s value to prospective customers
Provide scientific training, onboarding, and best‑practice guidance for new users
Collaborate with marketing on scientific content for conferences, events, and digital materials
Act as a subject‑matter expert on discovery workflows and how Mithrl supports them end to end
What you bring Required Qualifications
PhD in biology, computational biology, bioinformatics, pharmacology, or a closely related field
Strong expertise in discovery and preclinical development
Ability to interpret multi‑modal biological data and produce high quality analyses
Strong publication record or equivalent scientific writing and visualization experience
Excellent communication and presentation skills for both scientific and non‑scientific audiences
Ability to collaborate with sales teams and support product demonstrations with scientific credibility
Comfort working directly with customers and supporting their scientific workflows
Ability to translate complex scientific concepts into clear and actionable narratives
Nice to Have
Experience using AI‑based, computational, or informatics platforms in discovery
Experience with biomarker research, target discovery, or translational biology
Experience in a customer‑facing scientific role such as application scientist, scientific liaison, or consulting scientist
Familiarity with enrichment analysis, pathway interpretation, or similar analytic workflows
Experience creating scientific content for marketing or conferences
What you will love at Mithrl
You will see your scientific work influence customer success, product strategy, and brand credibility
Team: Join a tight‑knit, talent‑dense team of engineers, scientists, and builders
Culture: We value consistency, clarity, and hard work. We solve hard problems through focused daily execution
