    Job description

    About Chai Discovery

    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.

    About the role

    Build agent-powered systems and frameworks to improve model training, accelerate inference, and help our research organization move faster. Automate the research loop itself rather than just the models it produces, including the tooling and datasets that allow agents to run experiments, evaluate results and propose next steps.

    Chai's models are moving beyond protein structure prediction into real-world therapeutic engineering. This is a chance to push the frontier of AI drug design, working alongside a rigorous and craft-obsessed team.

    About you

    Ideal backgrounds include deep industry experience working with top AI/ML teams on agent-powered software—with strong system design skills, proficiency in Python, and Pytorch or JAX fluency. We look for technical spikes where you have gone deep and demonstrated exceptional impact on real-world problems and systems.

    We offer

    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.
