Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The Application Scientist will produce high-quality scientific assets and case studies to showcase the AI Co-Scientist platform's capabilities. They will support customers in discovery workflows and collaborate with sales and product teams to translate user feedback into engineering improvements.
A PhD in biology, computational biology, bioinformatics, or a related field is required, along with a strong publication record. Candidates must possess excellent communication skills and the ability to interpret complex biological data for both scientific and non-scientific audiences.
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.
12X year-over-year revenue growth
Trusted by leading biotechs and big pharma across three continents
Driving real breakthroughs from target discovery to patient outcomes.
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.

Act as a subject matter expert on discovery workflows and how Mithrl supports them end to end
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
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
Speed: We ship fast (2x/week) and improve continuously based on real user feedback
Location: Beautiful SF office with a high-energy, in-person culture
Benefits: Comprehensive PPO health coverage through Anthem (medical, dental, and vision) + 401(k) with top-tier plans
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
AI Lab Researching How to Accelerate Discovery Science.
The scientific decision engine for R&D. Raw data → defensible decisions, faster. Pharma and biotech R&D often spend weeks, or even months, learning, coding, and troubleshooting discovery analysis pipelines. This slows research and diverts focus from the work that truly matters: discovery. Mithrl changes that. Using only natural language from the user, Mithrl AI builds custom workflows with full transparency and reproducibility for discovery data (omics and beyond), on-demand and in minutes, not weeks. Discovery researchers across therapeutic areas can instantly align, analyze, interpret, integrate, and iterate hypotheses for complex datasets without manual coding or repetitive setup. By automating these time-consuming processes, Mithrl empowers scientists to spend more time designing experiments, testing insights, and driving high-quality discoveries, including novel IP. From accelerating data analysis to uncovering novel targets and biomarkers, Mithrl is the Scientific Decision Engine that turns data into actionable breakthroughs. See Mithrl in action.
