⚠️ Recruitment Fraud Alert

Recently, we have been made aware of unauthorized individuals falsely presenting themselves as Fate Therapeutics employees or recruiters as part of online scams or phishing attempts. Impersonators may use the Fate Therapeutics name and logo, as well as employee names and job titles, to gain a job seeker’s personal or banking information or to request payment as a condition of being considered for a position at the company. Fate Therapeutics and its employees are not involved in these scams.

Here are a few things to be aware of to help identify recruitment fraud: - Our Talent Acquisition team only corresponds from our @fatetherapeutics.com domain. - At no stage in our hiring process will we require payment or ask you to make deposits in your bank account. - We will only ask for personal information when applying for a position via our Careers page or thereafter. - At no stage during our hiring process will we ask you to click a link to begin a one-way video interview. - We do not use Google Hangouts, WhatsApp, or other third-party messaging platforms to recruit candidates or conduct interviews.

About this listing

Published on Lever under the board identifier Fatetherapeutics, 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 17 September 2026, last checked 13 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.
