About the role

Xaira Therapeutics in South San Francisco seeks a lab-based Principal Scientist in Inflammation and Immunology to set scientific direction for programs and deliver actionable data that informs portfolio strategy. You will work hands-on with primary human and mouse immune cells, including ex vivo systems, while mentoring junior scientists and presenting findings to senior leadership to guide decision-making.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
