San Francisco, California, United States Pendulum™ Full time

About Pendulum

Pendulum is at the forefront of a global movement aimed at enhancing both physical and mental well-being by first comprehending, then restoring and optimizing the human microbiome.

Research indicates that our microbiome, the diverse bacterial communities residing in and on our bodies, is associated with various health aspects, including metabolism, diabetes, longevity, weight management, immune function, cancer prevention, emotional well-being, inflammatory bowel disorders, and even skin health. We are only beginning to uncover the profound influence our microbiome has on our overall health. During the early stages of life, we cultivate a rich and balanced microbiome that is crucial for our long-term health. However, factors such as diet, lifestyle choices, antibiotic use, and aging can diminish the effectiveness of our microbiome over time.

Pendulum recognized the significant impact it could have on individuals' lives by addressing microbiome imbalances. To achieve this, Pendulum developed proprietary probiotic pipelines and a unique discovery platform to identify essential, novel bacterial strains and the prebiotics that nourish them. The company has also pioneered the world's first manufacturing technology to produce bacteria in an anaerobic (oxygen-free) environment at scale.

The medical probiotics formulated by Pendulum have revolutionized the consumer probiotics landscape, creating a new category of therapeutic solutions that combine the potency and efficacy of pharmaceuticals with the safety and accessibility of natural probiotics. Thanks to Pendulum's remarkable revenue and customer growth over the past two years, the company has earned a position on Forbes Magazine's prestigious "The Next Billion Dollar Startups" list.

If you are passionate about improving lives globally and thrive in a collaborative, cross-functional, and inspiring atmosphere, we encourage you to explore this opportunity.
