About Phoenix Tailings
Phoenix Tailings is a rapidly growing clean mining and metals production startup dedicated to sustainable and economic critical metals production. Our mission is to be the world’s first fully clean mining and metals production company—unlocking the materials required for aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing while eliminating waste and emissions from mining.
Why Phoenix Tailings
At Phoenix, we believe nothing great is ever accomplished alone—or without the passion of people who push and motivate one another. You’ll be joining a team building the foundational infrastructure for the modern world, developing entirely new ways to produce rare earth and critical metals domestically, cleanly, and at scale.
Our Values:
● You are only crazy if you are wrong, it’s ok to be wrong
● Lead with Compassion
● Be Resourceful
● Listen
● Hustle
Who We Are Looking For:
Phoenix Tailings is looking for a Senior R&D Chemist to develop and optimize hydrometallurgical and extraction processes that improve the recovery, separation, and purification of critical metals. This role is for a hands-on chemist who can design experiments, interpret complex chemical systems, and turn lab-scale results into process improvements that strengthen Phoenix Tailings’ clean metals production platform. You will help build the chemistry that makes critical metals more accessible, sustainable, and ready to power the technologies of today and tomorrow.
