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

We are hiring research scientists to improve the real-world performance of our foundation models. The work involves planning targeted data generation campaigns, designing evals that accurately measure model performance, and formulating post-training recipes aimed at making models useful for real drug discovery problems. We prioritize simple, robust methods over intricate solutions built for narrow problems. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

More about this role

Chai Discovery builds the computer-aided design suite for molecules. Eli Lilly , GSK , Pfizer , Bristol Myers Squibb , argenx and Novartis all use Chai to power drug discovery programs. AI is reinventing life sciences the same way it reinvented software engineering, and our team is building that future.

We train frontier models that learn the underlying foundations of biochemical structure and interaction. We pair this with a computational workspace to iterate on molecules from idea to medicine, helping scientists move faster and develop medicines beyond the reach of existing methods.

We value diverse perspectives and are ready to find greatness in unexpected places.
