We are pushing innovation in materials development and beyond
We solve global materials science challenges using the power of data
From green plastics to lighter more efficient cars, to better batteries, to less toxic dyes for clothing – the future of our planet hinges on how we create the next generation of materials and chemicals. We work directly with the innovative companies making the development tradeoffs that will impact our planet for generations to come. We provide the platform they use to develop materials with sustainability in mind, faster than ever before.
Belonging, Equity and Inclusion
We are committed to fostering a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging—principles that are essential to both our values and our success. We focus on meaningful action over intent, holding ourselves accountable as individuals and as a team. We invest in equitable systems and ongoing education, and we strive to create an environment where everyone can thrive.
Citrine Wins Awards
Employee Satisfaction
We are remote-first but always connected
While we are headquartered in the Bay Area, we recognize that incredible talent can be found everywhere. Our team is distributed throughout North America and Europe, and we have been remote-first since before the COVID-19 pandemic. We make sure to bring the team together whenever possible, and we invest in technology and internal programming to make sure people are as connected to each other as possible.
We promote personal growth
We are grooming the next generation of leaders in materials, business, platform engineering, and so many other areas. We take this responsibility seriously. We invest in the growth of our team with educational opportunities, mentorship, and a focus on giving our colleagues just a little more than they think they can handle. Rather than treating it as sink-or-swim, we support them and help them succeed. Whether it is growth in title, responsibility, skills, influence, or confidence, we want every person who works with us to look back and say that Citrine was an incredible career choice on a personal level.
Our People
Austin Noto-Moniz
Sr. Software Engineer
Master of Science in Computer Science, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
“Citrine’s work environment provides stellar flexibility. Working from wherever, the ability to take time off when I need it, and the support to establish a home office all help remote work feel more comfortable. It extends to the work, too: engineering Lab Days give us the flexibility to choose something to work on, allowing us to take chances on fresh ideas, many of which make it into the product. All of this while hosting regular social events to aid in group cohesion despite our disparate physical locations.”
Libby vanBuskirk
Customer Success Principal
Bachelor of Arts, Northwestern University
“There’s so much I enjoy about working at Citrine, but it’s the people that truly stand out. I can always depend on my colleagues to bring their talent and passion to the work we do. I learn so much from working alongside them, seeing their creativity and diligence in supporting our customers. And they’re kind, thoughtful and funny as well – making them really amazing coworkers to have. I’ve made true friends and I look forward to every opportunity to see them in person.
I also appreciate that Citrine, for a fully remote company, does such a good job giving us opportunities to socialize – via monthly virtual lunches or team celebrations or themed trivia. It gives us all a chance to connect, even across teams that don’t get to interact often, and builds a sense of community that can be hard to maintain otherwise.”
Kyle Miller
Research Scientist
PhD in Materials Science & Engineering, Northwestern University
“Citrine is one of those workplaces that actually follows through on their claims about creating a caring, innovative, and open community. They have built these principles into the company culture and policy. I feel supported not just by my team members and supervisor, but also by people in other departments and all the way up the chain to the CEO. The External Research and Data teams, in particular, foster an environment of curiosity that rivals my time in academic research. Questions are encouraged, honest feedback is often requested and given freely, and new and outside perspectives are seen as especially valuable.”
Claudia Viquez
Manager of Data Science
Purdue University, PhD Chemistry
“Citrine gave me the opportunity to combine my academic background in computational chemistry with my desire to solve real-life problems. During my time here, I have tackled challenging use cases, helped our customers with their sustainability goals, and grown as a Data Scientist.”
James Peerless
Sr. Product Manager
North Carolina State University, Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering
“It did not take long to see that Citrine’s people, mission, and commitment to growth make it a fantastic place to work. At Citrine, folks of all backgrounds, whether software and tech, materials and chemistry, or finance and HR, are committed to our mission of sustainability through data-driven innovation. Our commitment to growth has allowed me to explore opportunities from my background as a Materials Scientist through data science, customer success, and people management, all the way through my current role developing our product as a Sr. Product Manager all in my 5-year tenure.”
