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.




ABOUT THE ROLE

Build the AI platform that lets scientists direct research programs with agents. We believe that as Chai's models get more powerful, scientists will focus more on fundamental problems and biological hypotheses, and delegate more of the subtasks to answer them to agents. Making this possible requires inventing the abstractions through which people, agents, and Chai’s models collaborate.
