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.
