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 rapidly adopting our platform to power their drug discovery programs.

Our mission is to accelerate progress towards new cures and better science, and there are countless interesting problems on the road ahead.

Can you help us?

We are looking for a few exceptional individuals to anchor our founding talent team. We index on curiosity, taste, resourcefulness, IQ and EQ in equal measure. It will be a lot of fun, a lot of work, and extraordinarily rewarding.

#1 Build an incredible company.

You will help design every detail of this org. You will refine your nose for outlier talent and exceptional genius, wherever it may be found. You will relentlessly tackle every aspect of every assignment you take on. You'll work with our founders and leaders day in and out.

#2 Learn everything, communicate expertly.

This job demands that you can hold an intelligent conversation with anyone at any level. You will ravenously learn everything about what we're doing, why we're doing it, and where we're headed -- so that you can tell our story with passion and authenticity. You care and build trust by keeping it real.

#3 Think + act different.

We don't think the status quo is good enough, and neither do you. You have consistently shown innate ability to think and act beyond what is expected in order to achieve out-of-distribution results. You turn insight into action, optimize for iteration over perfection, and operate with urgency & creativity in equal measure.

Where could this lead?

You will walk away from this position knowing that you were a force multiplier in accelerating humanity's progress towards better medicines and better understanding of biology. You will gain the know-how and the network to establish yourself as an industry operator, bolstering any plans you might have to found your own company one day.

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.
