Working at Kymera
At Kymera, we’re building more than groundbreaking science. We’re building a culture where people can do their best work. Guided by our shared values and commitment to patients, we foster collaboration, continuous learning, and growth. When our people feel supported, challenged, and connected, they can make an even greater impact on patients’ lives.
Our Values Drive Our Culture
We are courageous, resilient, and rigorous in our mission to improve patients’ lives through our revolutionary degrader medicines.
We value trust and transparency from everyone. Our goals are shared, our decisions data-driven, and our camaraderie genuine.
We recognize our differences, inviting curiosity and inclusivity, so that our people are valued, seen, and heard.
“It’s a privilege to help pioneer a new approach to drug discovery that’s evolving this fast and to push the boundaries of targeted protein degradation. Kymera pioneers are genuinely passionate about their work, courageous enough to try things that have never been done before, and rigorous enough to let the data drive their decisions to support our mission of improving patients’ lives.”
“I have never felt hesitant to share an idea or suggest a different approach at Kymera. As part of the IT team, I’ve had opportunities to recommend new tools, improve processes, and enhance user experience across teams. It’s rewarding to see those ideas implemented, knowing that my perspective is valued not only in resolving technical issues, but also in helping shape how Kymera collectively works.”
“Even early in my career, I have a seat at the table in program team meetings and am encouraged to share my perspective. I’ve always felt that my ideas are judged by the value they bring, rather than by my title or level of experience, creating a collaborative environment where everyone can make an impact.”
Just like chimeric molecules combine two or more components to create a powerful and innovative therapeutic opportunity, together, we are greater than the sum of our parts.
We welcome like-minded pioneers to join us on our extraordinary journey as we create a culture where diverse perspectives are invited, transparency is the standard and collaboration is celebrated—all in service of our goal to revolutionize medicine. Kymera’s culture reflects our aspirational vision, and every person contributes to building the company we want to be—an organization where our sense of urgency and high standards reflect our commitment to changing the lives of patients.
“Translational Medicine has a unique view across the full life cycle of a program, from research through clinical development. We help define the biological questions and evidence needed to confirm that a drug is doing what it was designed to do for patients. Scientists who thrive here are energized by both the details of the science and the broader development picture.”
“Kymera is at an exciting stage of growth, creating meaningful opportunities to learn, contribute, and make an impact. As a statistical programmer, you can work across the clinical development lifecycle, which is especially rewarding because you can see how your work helps move promising therapies closer to patients.”
“As a clinical scientist, I help connect Kymera’s science to patients’ needs by keeping their perspectives central throughout drug development. For every study, we gather patient feedback to ensure trial design reflects the realities of living with their disease while maintaining scientific rigor. I’m proud to work alongside talented, innovative colleagues who share a fierce commitment to developing new medicines that can improve patients’ lives.”
