About the role

  • A great model needs the right product around it to be useful, and right now the products we ship provide just as much leverage as the models do.
  • You'll turn raw model capability into something a biologist reaches for instinctively, and carry what they learn back to the models.

Responsibilities

  • Chai is a research lab working on generative models for molecular design.
  • Nobody has fully defined what it means to design a medicine on a computer, so this whole category of software is yours to invent.
  • 2+ years building and owning production products end to end with modern frameworks (React or Vue, TypeScript, and a Node/Go/Python backend)

Requirements

  • A background in biology is not required.

Skills

  • the applied AI layer and product that turn our foundation models into tools the world's best drug designers use every day.
  • Our models have moved beyond structure prediction into real therapeutic engineering, and the product has only begun to catch up.

Compensation

  • We offer highly competitive compensation.

Benefits

  • Prior exposure to enterprise or scientific software is a bonus.

Company info

  • You'll work in a tight loop with researchers, scientists, our partner-facing team, and customers.
  • We are building AI infrastructure to engineer new medicines with speed and precision.
  • Our mission is to unlock progress towards better cures and better science, and we see countless interesting problems on the road ahead.
  • We are known for talent density, rigorous research and pace of execution.
  • We are backed by Sequoia, Index, Thrive, General Catalyst, Dimension, OpenAI and others.
  • We're looking for engineers who get obsessed with hard problems, ship small and often, and are as comfortable adapting a model to a real task as they are sweating the details of an interaction.
  • We offer highly competitive compensation.
  • The ability to explain technical tradeoffs to non-engineers, understand what customers need, and translate scientific requirements into engineering work
