About the role

  • Security is what earns Chai the trust of the world's largest pharma companies.
  • Our models have moved beyond structure prediction into real therapeutic engineering, and the partnerships that come with that raise the bar every quarter.

Responsibilities

  • Chai is a research lab working on generative models for molecular design.
  • We index on judgment, breadth, and the instinct to build security in rather than bolt it on.
  • The archetype is an engineer who specialized into security, thinks about the business as much as the threat model, and would rather partner with engineers than audit them.
  • You'll drive the changes they surface back into our platform and infrastructure, keeping Chai ahead of new risks.

Requirements

  • familiarity with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 as programs to run well, not boxes to check
  • A background in biology is not required.

Compensation

  • We offer highly competitive compensation.

Benefits

  • Life sciences or other regulated-industry experience is a bonus.
