Open Positions (5)

Hiring Signals

Open roles from our DB joined with public DOL H1B LCA filings (FY2026 Q1, Oct–Dec 2025).

ℹ️

Salary & hiring signal, not a forecast. Use these figures as a reference for recent compensation bands and H1B-sponsorship activity at Twist Bioscience — they don't predict future H1B willingness or guarantee similar wages on new offers.

Scope: H1B LCA filings cover all roles at Twist Bioscience (engineering, science, IT, etc.) — not bioinformatics-only. At biotech & pharma companies the mix skews toward R&D and computational roles, but treat the wage distribution as the company's overall H1B band rather than a strict comp-bio benchmark.
