About the role
- ABOUT PROXIMA Proxima (formerly VantAI) is advancing an AI-native approach to drug discovery by making protein interactions programmable.
- We've recently closed an oversubscribed seed round partnering us with an elite group of sophisticated and dedicated VCs including DCVC, Nvidia's Nventures, AIX, Yosemite among others.
- Neo-1 is our all-atom foundation model that combines state-of-the-art structure prediction and molecular generation in a single system.
Responsibilities
- Together with Neo-1, it creates an integrated system capable of co-folding protein complexes while generating candidate small molecules to influence those interactions.
Requirements
- Experience and academic background in bio/chem engineering, computational chemistry/biology/biophysics
- Experience working on drug discovery projects
- Ability to break apart existing code
- We value individuals who want to make an impact, have a deep intellectual curiosity, enjoy solving challenging problems and have a track record of achievement.
- Developing cheminformatics workflows
- RDKit, VS, protein-protein docking, Rosetta, MD, ML
- Ability to break apart existing code; solve ad hoc problems with little help
- Willingness to work with existing codebases
- No task too big or small; strong sense of independence and ownership
Skills
- Shaping our product by spearheading new features and services
- Contributing to the culture of a rapidly growing company
- Being challenged by your colleagues and learning something new every day
Company info
- In parallel, we are developing an advanced structural interactomics platform built on proprietary XLMS technology and a lab equipped with next-generation mass spectrometry instrumentation.
- Our technology combines proteome-scale structural data with state-of-the-art generative AI foundation models, and coupled with our talented team of scientists and engineers we are uniquely well-positioned to discover and develop a new class of medicines.
