What we do

Cambrium is the new chemical company. Focused on creating materials that matter, we created an AI-driven molecular design technology that creates new molecules with previously inaccessible functionalities. Our chemicals enable our customers to create products that outperform existing alternatives and are better for society and the planet.

We are an equal-opportunity employer and value diversity. We consider all applications equally regardless of race, colour, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or gender identity. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply.

Please apply even if you don't match the criteria exactly. We believe potential and determination beat experience.
