Build Something That
Doesn’t Exist Yet.

Decoy is a place to do work that matters and to see it land. You will help create a new category of medicine, alongside people who have built real things before and care deeply about getting this right. There is room to grow, room to explore, and real opportunity to contribute in ways that count.

What we believe shapes how we work, how we build, and how we show up for each other.

We rethink the default

We don't accept the one-problem, one-solution playbook in science or in how we work. We look for the shared mechanism, the underlying pattern, the approach nobody's tried.

We move at the speed of learning

Every project sharpens the next. We build systems, not one-offs, so we get faster and smarter with each cycle instead of starting from zero every time.

We build for the people at the end of the line

Impact isn't just the science working — it's whether it actually reaches people. We hold ourselves accountable to affordability, access, and durability.

Culture

Do the hardest science of your career, together.

Decoy takes on a problem the industry has circled for decades, so no two days look the same. We move fast, think rigorously, and don’t take ourselves too seriously along the way. Whether you’re deep in a design loop or grabbing coffee with the person next to you, you’re surrounded by people who share the same conviction: that viral disease deserves a better answer. Joining Decoy means more than joining a company; it’s a commitment to the science, and to the patients waiting on it.
