Build the future with us

Spun out of AnaptysBio in April 2026, we aim to carve a new trail toward a future where autoimmune diseases no longer define a patient’s life.

Impact doesn’t happen by waiting. It happens by moving. Every track we make is a step toward a future defined by possibility, not disease.

We bring together curious builders, bold thinkers and patient focused doers who refuse to settle for the status quo
Our core values of accountability, transparency and humility aren’t just words on a wall; they shape how we show up for each other and for the patients we serve
If big challenges energize you, meaningful science inspires you, and the idea of carving a new trail in immunology excites you, you’ll fit right in
We are based in San Diego

Accountability. Transparency. Humility. Bold thinking.

Get to know the crew carving the trail

Shifting a treatment paradigm takes more than brilliant science: it takes people who bring curiosity, courage and heart to the work every day. At First Tracks Bio, that’s exactly who we are.

These videos offer a glimpse into the people on the trail — what inspires them, what drives them, and why they choose to build the future of immunology here.

"We're First Tracks Bio. Together, anything is possible."

Proud to be a "Best Place to Work"

Fulfillment at work matters — more than perks, more than PTO, more than anything else. That’s why we’ve built an environment where people can grow, contribute and feel genuinely connected to the mission and to each other.

From early‑career scientists to seasoned leaders, we offer opportunities to stretch, learn and make an impact. Our team helped shape this culture and, since 2023, their feedback has consistently earned First Tracks Bio a “Best Place to Work” rating in both internal and external engagement surveys.

We’re proud of that and we work hard to keep earning it.

For recruiting agencies

To keep our hiring process fair, consistent and candidate‑focused, all recruitment at First Tracks Bio is managed directly through our People & Culture team. We ask that agencies do not contact hiring managers or employees directly about open roles or potential candidates. Respecting this process is an important part of establishing — and maintaining — any professional relationship with us.

A signed agreement must be in place before any candidate is submitted for consideration. First Tracks Bio does not accept unsolicited résumés from agencies or third‑party sources. Any such submissions, made without a fully executed agreement, do not create an obligation on our part.

Fraudulent recruitment activity

Your safety matters to us. Please be aware of potential scams involving individuals falsely claiming to represent First Tracks Bio. We never conduct interviews through messaging apps, freelance platforms, or social media channels (e.g., WhatsApp, Signal, Google Hangouts). We communicate with candidates only through official First Tracks Bio email addresses ending in @firsttracksbio.com.

Suspicious activity

If you receive a suspicious inquiry or job offer, do not share personal information. Report concerns to info@firsttracksbio.com, and consider notifying your state’s Attorney General, the Internet Crime Complaint Center, or USAGov.
