Work directly with leading biotech and pharma teams
Partner with the people running the science, from study design through delivery.
Work with us.
We partner directly with scientists building new sequencing technologies, diagnostics, and therapeutics, and we maintain open-source tools like fgbio that the field already depends on. The team is fully remote across the US & Canada and works a 40-hour week.
We hire people who won’t ship it until it’s right.
Why work here.
Be treated as a scientific partner, not a “service resource.”
Fulcrum is built by scientists, for scientists. The team has authored foundational methods (fgbio among them) and shipped hundreds of client projects.
We take on fewer projects and go deeper on each.
Own hard projects end to end
Take a project from kickoff to handoff, with the room to make the hard calls.
Build systems clients run in production
Pipelines and tools that run every day in client environments, not one-off scripts.
Co-author publications and new methods
Contribute to papers, posters, and methods that move the field forward.
Maintain open-source tools used worldwide
Help maintain fgbio and related tooling that labs around the world depend on.
Our values.
Openness
We document our methods, welcome scrutiny, and say plainly what we are uncertain about, to partners and to each other.
Excellence
Rigorous validation and code built to last. We do not ship shortcuts when accuracy matters.
Valuing people
Good science comes from people who are trusted and not burned out. We protect sustainable workloads and invest in growth.
Client focus
We learn our partners' biology and constraints, then do what moves their program forward, not what is easiest to deliver.
Public benefit
We publish, release tools openly, and maintain them, so the work outlives any single engagement.
Life at Fulcrum.
Focused scientific work on a sane schedule, with benefits to match.

Join us.
We’re not actively hiring right now, but we’re always glad to hear from exceptional people. We build relationships first and hire when the fit is right.
If you’ve built tools others depend on, or done work at the intersection of biology and computation that you’re proud to talk about, we’d welcome a conversation.
Tell us what you’ve built, what problems interest you, and why Fulcrum caught your attention. We’ll be honest about timing: we may not have a role today, but we read and remember every serious note.
