About valency

Valency builds the infrastructure for AI-accelerated science — “Knowledge accelerated.” Our flagship product, Bond, is an MCP-first platform that national labs and enterprise research teams use to ground AI systems in verified, current scientific literature rather than hallucinated recall. We're actively expanding beyond Bond into new products that extend this mission, and this role will help shape what comes next. Valency sits between three audiences — skeptical academia, results-driven enterprise, and AI-forward amplifiers — and needs a product leader who can build credibility with all three
