About Us
At Absentia Labs, we’re building intelligent systems that redefine how safety science is done. Our AI-native toxicology platform delivers human-relevant insights that accelerate drug development, reduce reliance on animal studies, and enable a new regulatory paradigm for predictive safety.
As we continue building toward enterprise readiness and early partner engagement, the GTM Engineer will play a foundational role in keeping our external presence, outreach, CRM, and commercial workflows running with discipline and consistency.
Innovations begin with clarity of purpose, ownership, and a deep respect for scientific and regulatory rigor. If you’re excited to build new markets, engage with senior scientific leadership across pharma and CROs, and bring a breakthrough platform to industry, we’d love to talk.
