About the role
- Molecular biology is a cluttered, dense, deeply technical domain, and your job is to make it feel obvious and intuitive.
- Molecular structures are some of the most striking visuals in science, and the product should live up to them: visual and aesthetic craft matters.
- We're looking for someone who gets obsessed with hard problems and sweats the details.
Responsibilities
- Chai is a research lab working on generative models for molecular design.
- you own the interaction paradigm end to end, from research and low-fi sketches through polished, shipped interfaces in real code.
- Nobody has fully defined what it means to design a medicine on a computer, so this category of software is yours to invent.
- A great model needs the right product around it to be useful, and right now the product provides just as much leverage as the models do - the design surface is wide open.
- As Chai's first design engineer, you'll define how scientists interact with the most advanced drug design models in the world, and then build it.
- This is a design-and-build role: you own the interaction paradigm end to end, from research and low-fi sketches through polished, shipped interfaces in real code.
- A clear communicator who can articulate design decisions and synthesize complex science for cross-functional audiences, and a sharp listener who pulls the best ideas and the smallest details into the work
Requirements
- A background in biology is not required - what makes the difference is craft, curiosity, and grit.
Skills
- 5+ years designing exceptional products, with a portfolio showing end-to-end ownership of complex tools built for domain experts
Compensation
- We offer highly competitive compensation.
Benefits
- Data visualization, data science, or scientific domain experience is a bonus.
