Your work will change lives. Including your own.
We are building a future where biology is solvable. The path to new medicines is currently slow and expensive, with high failure rates, leaving millions of patients waiting for new treatment options. Our story is one of innovation: applying AI, vast datasets, and industrial scale to decode biology and accelerate the development of life-changing treatments.
Recursion’s Returnship Program Recursion’s Returnship program, sponsored by the Women at Recursion Employee Resource Group, helps professionals who have taken a break of two or more years from the STEM industry return to the workforce. Participants work in a supportive, learning-focused environment with guidance from their teams and mentors.
Our program benefits both sides. You’ll own projects that directly advance our mission to radically decode biology and serve patients, and you’ll build experience with new, cutting-edge tools and technology. In turn, Recursion gains access to an underutilized pool of talent in Utah and benefits from the skills and experience you’ve built through your work and life.
What you’ll get
- A dedicated mentor who meets with you weekly
- Weekly seminars on workplace culture, communication, and technology
- Support from your team as you re-enter the workforce
Our program runs for sixteen weeks, from March 2027 through the end of June 2027. Depending on performance and business needs, it may lead to full-time employment. This position is primarily based at our Salt Lake City, UT headquarters, with some hybrid flexibility.
GxP Quality Associate Returnship
Are you a quality professional with GxP experience looking to re-enter the workforce after a career break? The Quality team is excited to announce our GxP Quality Associate Returnship. This opportunity is for someone who cares about getting the details right and wants to help make sure the data and documents behind our programs are accurate, complete and inspection-ready.
The Quality team partners with teams across Recursion to support compliance in GxP-regulated work. As Recursion brings GxP data and documents together across new platforms and systems, Quality makes sure that work meets GxP standards from start to finish.
As a GxP Quality Associate, you will report directly to the Quality team's hiring manager and be paired with a dedicated mentor. You'll work closely with the Quality team and cross-functional partners. We are looking for someone who is detail-oriented and organized, communicates clearly, and wants to learn new tools and systems in a fast-paced environment.
Working alongside Recursion's Quality team, you will work on projects to:
- QC GxP documents and records for completeness, accuracy and compliance with Good Documentation Practices and data integrity principles (ALCOA+).
- Support GxP data migrations by loading data and verifying that migrated data and documents are complete, accurate and traceable.
- Standardize procedures by converting existing documents into a standard template for use in our electronic Quality Management System (eQMS).
- Help teams connect data and documents across systems so records are organized, findable and inspection-ready.
- Partner with teams across Recursion to answer documentation questions and support consistent quality practices.
- Learn our eQMS and GxP systems and the processes that keep them compliant.
The Recursion Community
Cutting-edge tools matter, but our people are what set us apart. Our structure and culture are built to help you do your best work, not to feed politics or ego. We live by values that give us a real competitive advantage. They help us work better and faster without relying on burnout, and they encourage us to make leaps where others take steps. People in every role and at every level make the bold bets that move us forward.
The Returnship gives you a front-row seat to this culture. From your first week, you’ll work alongside teams who value collaboration over ego, with a mentor in your corner and real ownership of projects that matter. You won’t be on the sidelines while you ramp up.
The Experience You’ll Need
- 5–10 years of experience working in a GxP-regulated environment, preferably GCP. GMP, GLP and CSV/CSA experience are also valued.
- Bachelor's degree in a scientific or technical field, or equivalent job experience and relevant certifications or training.
- Familiarity with GxP data and document standards, such as Good Documentation Practices and ALCOA+. Experience with 21 CFR Part 11 is preferred but not required.
- Must have taken a 2+ year break from full-time, industry-relevant employment just prior to the program start.
- Must be a Utah resident.
- A strong desire to learn, with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to accurately review and record information.
- Enjoys working both independently and collaboratively with cross-functional teams.
The Values We Hope You Share:
- We act boldly with integrity. We are unconstrained in our thinking, take calculated risks, and push boundaries, but never at the expense of ethics, science, or trust.
- We care deeply and engage directly. Caring means holding a deep sense of responsibility and respect - showing up, speaking honestly, and taking action.
- We learn actively and adapt rapidly. Progress comes from doing. We experiment, test, and refine, embracing iteration over perfection.
- We move with urgency because patients are waiting. Speed isn’t about rushing but about moving the needle every day.
- We take ownership and accountability. Through ownership and accountability, we enable trust and autonomy—leaders take accountability for decisive action, and teams own outcomes together.
- We are One Recursion. True cross-functional collaboration is about trust, clarity, humility, and impact. Through sharing, we can be greater than the sum of our individual capabilities.
Our values underpin the employee experience at Recursion. They are the character and personality of the company demonstrated through how we communicate, support one another, spend our time, make decisions, and celebrate collectively.
