About Chai Discovery

Building frontier artificial intelligence to predict and reprogram the interactions between biochemical molecules. Backed by Battery, General Catalyst and Index.

About the role

As Chai's first design engineer, you'll define how scientists interact with the most advanced drug design models in the world, and then build it. This is a design-and-build role: you own the interaction paradigm end to end, from research and low-fi sketches through polished, shipped interfaces in real code. Nobody has fully defined what it means to design a medicine on a computer, so this category of software is yours to invent.

More about this role

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.
