Senior / Staff Software Engineer - Computational Chemistry / Molecular Dynamics
Genesis Molecular AI is building a world-class software team to solve problems in drug discovery through machine learning, biophysical simulation, and computational chemistry. We are looking for engineers excited to help develop new medicines and play a critical role in building out our software platform.
You will
Build and maintain complex computational chemistry workflows for drug discovery
Work closely with computational chemists and CADD scientists to productionize new computational methods for molecular property prediction
Help scale our data infrastructure to handle billions of datapoints and hundreds of thousands of parallel QM and molecular dynamics jobs
You are
A deep thinker who reasons from first principles, balances attention to detail with architectural thinking, and has an investigational curiosity to find the root cause of a problem
Comfortable working across all levels of the software stack, building intuitive APIs and libraries for computational chemists
Experienced working in the fields of computational chemistry and drug discovery
Experienced writing production code and driving projects to completion
What we offer
The opportunity to work on high impact tools and products that are immediately deployed to accelerate the discovery of new medicines
Strong technical coworkers in AI, software, and chemistry, who all have a powerful mix of intellectual curiosity and humility. The team reads and discusses 1-2 machine learning or chemistry papers every week to stay on top of the field and inspire new ideas
Competitive salary and equity. Medical, dental, and vision insurance, and a 401(k) program
About Genesis Molecular AI
Genesis Molecular AI is pioneering foundation models for molecular AI to unlock a new era of drug design and development.
