## About the role

We're looking for a Senior Computational Chemist who provides well-founded data and new ideas for our product strategy decisions, and builds out our ability to access new routes efficiently. A big part of the job is code for retrosynthetic analysis and Bayesian optimization: adapting open-source tools such as ASKCOS, extending them with our own reactions, and developing new proprietary code, together with the data and parameters behind it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Strong programming skills in Python and efficient use of AI coding tools, with a track record of code that others use, e.g. a tool, a package, a public repository or a publication with code
- Hands-on cheminformatics and machine learning for chemistry: RDKit or similar toolkits, molecular and reaction representations, and reaction and molecular databases
- At least an undergraduate-level understanding of organic chemistry, enough to judge whether a proposed route is plausible and what a reaction template represents
