AI solutions for small molecule drug discovery. AI-integrated synthesis, virtual lab bench, ADME assays, and embedded chemistry experts to accelerate your program. Backed by a16z and Lux.
About the role
We are seeking an accomplished Synthetic Chemist to help build the experimental chemistry capabilities behind Inductive's AI-forward drug discovery platform. This role combines medicinal chemistry strategy with hands-on synthesis expertise to design better compounds, solve challenging synthetic problems, and accelerate Design-Make-Test-Analyze workflows. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- A passion for advancing medicinal chemistry programs through practical, hands-on synthetic chemistry
- Deep knowledge of modern synthetic methods, with a strong understanding of what works in practice at the bench
- A track record of solving complex synthetic challenges across diverse chemotypes, reaction types, and scales
- Experience mentoring junior chemists or technicians and sharing practical laboratory expertise
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to clearly articulate synthetic strategies and troubleshoot challenges with cross-functional teams
- Demonstrated experience managing synthesis CROs, including both FTE-based teams and fee-for-service projects across multiple partners
More about this role
Inductive Bio is an AI medicinal chemistry partner. We build virtual labs that help drug discovery teams make better decisions, faster, across the full Design-Make-Test-Analyze (DMTA) cycle.
Our platform includes Beacon-2 ADMET prediction models, human dose projection tools, and Indy, an AI medicinal chemistry assistant. Through partnerships with CROs, we also offer innovative synthesis approaches, direct-to-dose testing, and cost-effective Tier 1 ADME panels that enable initial human PK projection, closing the loop from computational design to experimental validation. Together, these capabilities power dozens of small molecule and beyond-rule-of-five programs for biotech and pharma partners.
We've raised $30M from Obvious Ventures, a16z Bio + Health, and Lux Capital, and were selected for a $21M ARPA-H CATALYST award to develop next-generation toxicity models.
