Scientist, Protein Design

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.

We are building out our science team and looking to make a few key hires to anchor the effort, operating at the frontiers of both drug discovery and AI research.

You will be an advisor to some of the most important drug programs of our time, helping solve disease at scale. 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, ensuring that our partners deploy our platform to maximum effect.

You will be our eyes & ears on the ground, translating our partner's hardest asks into internal efforts, scoping and driving projects to tackle novel challenges alongside our research and engineering teams. Your findings will guide the future of our product, our models, and our approach.

It will be a lot of fun, a lot of work, and extraordinarily rewarding.

We index on ravenous curiosity, outlier aptitude and collaboration smarts. You operate with urgency, have well-honed communication skills, and probably can't sleep if something isn't right.

We value academic research and drug discovery industry experience in antibody engineering, protein design, and computational methods. We are more than willing to bet on rising stars. Low-ego, high-EQ, and performance under pressure are what we're looking for.

The opportunity to work at the vanguard of AI research and frontier biology, with world-class people, on a mission that matters. We protect & promote a culture of high velocity and ownership. We compensate our team accordingly.
