Legal Counsel

Do you want to use your Legal skills to help find treatments for rare disease patients?

Healx is an AI-powered biotech company reimagining drug discovery for rare diseases. Over 400 million people worldwide are affected by rare conditions, yet 90% still lack approved treatments.

Our mission is to change this - combining data, technology, and deep scientific expertise to develop treatments faster and more efficiently.

Diversity and inclusion are central to our mission. We believe that building a diverse team—across backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives - is essential to developing better treatments for patients. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and walks of life. If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply - we value potential and transferable skills as much as direct experience.
