Tech talent
for Life Sciences

We help biotech and life sciences companies hire the machine learning engineers, software developers, and data experts behind the next wave of breakthroughs. We speak both languages – and know how to translate between them.

Who we are

Not just a tech recruiter. Not just a life sciences recruiter.

Hlx Tech is built by recruiters who understand both domains – and the critical role tech plays in the future of life sciences.

From AI-enabled drug discovery to next-gen data platforms, the most innovative life sciences companies need world-class tech talent. That’s where we come in. As a specialist team within Hlx Life Sciences, we’re dedicated to building technical teams across the life sciences space.
