Careers

Join our team.

Retension Pharmaceuticals is a growing, mission-driven startup developing life-saving therapeutics for patients with high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. We’re looking for self-motivated, resourceful, and collaborative team members to help bring life-saving therapies to patients.

Why Retension

Our foundation is anchored in differentiated science, a lead compound in Phase 2b, and a team that has taken novel medicines from discovery to approval. We move deliberately. We work in the open. And we measure progress by how close we are to bringing novel medicines to patients whose blood pressure remains uncontrolled.

Because we are a small team, you will work alongside senior leaders and own the outcome, not just the task. We look for people who are:

Self-motivated

You take ownership without waiting to be asked.

Resourceful

You find a way forward with the resources at hand.

Collaborative

You build well within a small, hands-on team.

How we work

Patients define the mission

Every decision gets tested against one question: does this bring us closer to patients who remain uncontrolled?

Science is honest

We take all data seriously, including when it complicates the story. Rigor early is cheaper than surprise late.

Small team, real ownership

You’ll have clear ownership from day one, and room to grow into it — working directly with people who have done this before.

Deliberate pace

We move quickly when it matters and adapt our pace when needed.

What we offer

Benefits

Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, parental leave, and life/disability insurance.

401(k)

With company match.

Equity

Stock options as part of your compensation.

Flexibility

A remote-first work environment and paid time off.
