About this role
ABOUT PILGRIM:
Pilgrim is building America’s biology prime - engineering, manufacturing, and deploying advanced biotechnology for defense and national security. Our primary platform, ARGUS, is a fully autonomous system for detecting biological threats in near real time, from naturally occurring pathogens to engineered agents.
We engineer hardware for biology, turning breakthrough science into fielded capabilities. Based in Redwood City, our team brings together mechanical and electrical engineering, chemistry, and biology under one roof to deliver critical technologies to the people who need them.
Pilgrim has raised over $30 million to date and is backed by Peter Thiel, Brian Armstrong, Fred Ehrsam, Dylan Field, and Bryan Johnson, alongside Buckley Ventures, Conviction, Cantos, and others.
ABOUT THE ROLE:
As a Pathfinder at Pilgrim, you’ll take on important problems that don’t map to an existing role. You’ll define what needs to be done, own the work through completion, and then move to the next challenge. Expect compressed timelines and travel to demanding field environments.
This is also our general application. If you don’t see a posted role that fits, tell us what you’ve built, what you can solve, and what you’d bring to Pilgrim.

About this listing
Published on Ashby under the board identifier Pilgrim, which is the name the employer’s own job board carries. RoleSprint has not verified the company’s registered or trading name, so it is shown exactly as published rather than tidied up.
RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
Published 23 September 2026, last checked 8 days ago. A posting stops being advertised here 90 days after the employer published it, and one the employer takes down is marked closed rather than quietly removed.
