We’re here to turn possibility into progress — together.

At Codexis,  we don’t just join to do meaningful work — we stay to make an extraordinary impact. Every Codexis career fuels the future of medicine, from next-gen RNA medicines to pharma biocatalysis and precision diagnostics. We lead with curiosity, act with accountability, adapt with resilience, and build with co-creation — our Success Behaviors. Because redefining what’s possible starts with how we show up, together.

Together, Nothing Is Unreachable

We’re not afraid to challenge the status quo.

At Codexis, you’ll find a community of changemakers who are enabling our partners with bold science, deep trust, and shared success. We’re intentional in how we grow, how we lead, and how we win — together.

Values That Evolve With Us

At Codexis, we’ve defined a set of success behaviors that guide how we show up, support each other, and grow. They’re not abstract values, but are observable, lived expectations that reflect who we are when we’re at our best. These behaviors shape everything from how we lead teams to how we collaborate with customers. They help us stay focused on impact while keeping Codexis’ culture strong.

Agility

means we stay open, adaptable, and responsive — because moving at the speed of science requires momentum, not rigidity.

Accountability

is about clarity and ownership. We set expectations, give feedback, and hold ourselves to what we say we’ll do.

Resilience

keeps us steady when the work is tough. We navigate setbacks with intention and purpose.

Co-creation

reminds us that we solve problems better together — by building partnerships, not silos.

Paving Your Path to Progress

We invest in people the way we invest in our science, with intent.

We want everyone at Codexis to feel like they’re part of something that’s going somewhere, and that they’re growing with it. That includes clear goals, accessible leadership, and opportunities to stretch across disciplines. We offer flexible working where it makes sense, and trust people to do their best work.

We show up, for each other and our partners

We focus on building trust — both internally and with every partner we support. That comes from being transparent in how we communicate, respectful in how we collaborate, and clear about what we can deliver.

At Codexis, people take ownership. They know that delivering smarter science and repeatable success for our partners also means creating an environment where people can work honestly and well together.
