BenchSci is looking for a Senior Systems Administrator who combines strong technical depth

with a genuine passion for delivering a great employee technology experience. You’ll help

design, improve, and secure the systems that support our global workforce, and take equal

pride in ensuring they're reliable and practical for people to use every day.

This role is well-suited for someone who is ready to take on broader technical ownership while

continuing to deepen their architectural and leadership skills. You’ll partner closely with IT

leadership and the business to scale our evolving environment thoughtfully while remaining

visible, approachable, and engaged in day-to-day support where it matters most.

This is a hands-on senior role for someone who enjoys solving complex technical problems,

improving systems at scale, and showing up for employees when they need help.

We are welcoming applicants in the GTA for this position. Please note that this role will require a

minimum of 2 days in-office at BenchSci’s Toronto headquarters office, with some flexibility

required based on business needs.

How We Work: AI-First by Design BenchSci is an AI-first organization, and this mindset shapes how we build systems, solve

problems, and scale our operations. Within IT, we actively use AI to improve diagnostics,

automate workflows, enhance documentation, and make better technical decisions faster.

In this role, you’ll be expected to thoughtfully leverage AI tools as part of your daily work, from

troubleshooting and scripting to system design and process improvement, and to help identify

new ways AI can improve reliability, service quality, and employee experience across our

environment.

We’re not just experimenting with AI; we’re operationalizing it. Candidates who are curious,

pragmatic, and excited about using AI to level up how IT works will thrive here.

About BenchSci: BenchSci's mission is to unravel the complexity of disease biology for the betterment of patients. We do this by applying neuro-symbolic AI to unravel the black box of disease biology — the number one reason drug discovery projects fail.

Despite significant advancements, drug discovery still takes over a decade and billions of dollars — and 90% of clinical trials still fail. The core problem is getting the biology wrong before programs go to scale. BenchSci exists to fix that.

Our platform, ASCEND, is the world's first neuro-symbolic AI built for biopharma disease biology. It gives scientists clarity in hours or weeks that previously took months. Our platform is used by 9 of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies across 4,500+ research centers, and grew 247% over three years (Deloitte Fast 500, 2025). We've raised $200M+ from Generation Investment Management, Google's Gradient Ventures, TCV, and F-Prime.

Our Culture: Our culture fosters transparency, collaboration, and continuous learning.

We value each other's differences and always look for opportunities to embed equity into the fabric of our work. We foster diversity, autonomy, and personal growth, and provide resources to support motivated self-leaders in continuous improvement.

You will work with high-impact, highly skilled, and intelligent experts motivated to drive impact and fulfill a meaningful mission. We empower you to unleash your full potential, do your best work, and thrive. Here you will be challenged to stretch yourself to achieve the seemingly impossible.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion : We're committed to creating an inclusive environment where people from all backgrounds can thrive. We believe that improving diversity, equity and inclusion is our collective responsibility, and this belief guides our DEI journey. Learn more about our DEI initiatives .
