I've been with Absci for almost 2 years, and it genuinely stands out as one of the best jobs of my career. The culture here is unlike anything I've experienced — people are collaborative, smart, and actually care about each other's success. Leadership is transparent and the mission feels real, not just a tagline on a wall. The work itself is fascinating. Being on the operations side of a company doing cutting-edge AI-driven drug design means every day there's something new to wrap your head around. It keeps you sharp and motivated. Compensation and benefits are competitive and the company clearly values its employees. You feel like you're being taken care of. If you want to do meaningful work alongside great people at a company that's genuinely trying to change how drugs are discovered and developed, Absci is a fantastic place to build your career.

Like any growing company, things move fast and priorities can shift. The work can be all consuming and you need to be comfortable with some ambiguity — but honestly, that's part of what makes it exciting.
