About this role
About Chai Discovery
Chai builds the design suite for molecules. We train frontier models that learn the underlying foundations of biochemical structure and interaction, so scientists can move faster and pursue targets that other methods cannot reach.
AI is reinventing life sciences the same way it reinvented software engineering, and Chai is at the forefront of this shift. Leading pharmaceutical companies like Eli Lilly, Pfizer, and Novartis are adopting our platform to power their drug discovery programs.
We value diverse perspectives and are ready to find greatness in unexpected places.
About the role
We are building out our science team and looking to make a few key hires to anchor the effort. This team operates at the frontiers of both drug discovery and AI research, with a mandate to ensure that we deeply understand our partners objectives and that they deploy our platform to maximum effect.
You will become an expert in our partners' scientific and therapeutic problems. You will operate as a power user who knows all the ins and outs of our technology. You will apply intellect, intuition and creativity to solve novel biological problems, working with top scientists across industry and our own research team.
You will be our eyes & ears on the ground, taking your findings back inside the building to refine our product, our models, and our approach. You will be an advisor to some of the most important drug programs of our time, helping solve disease and broadening your scientific knowledge at scale.
It will be a lot of fun, a lot of work, and extraordinarily rewarding.
About you
