This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a fast-paced, highly dynamic entrepreneurial environment. We work on problems and use techniques like:

• Generative models for biomolecular design including flow matching, diffusion, and language models.
• Self-learning agentic systems.
• Biophysical simulation. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Work with an interdisciplinary team of scientists to build models, organize data and deliver computational solutions.
• Experiment with diverse datasets and novel techniques. 
• Communicate your work to a multi-disciplinary audience.

Basic Requirements:

• Fluency in Python and experience implementing deep learning methods with standard tools and packages (e.g., PyTorch, JAX).
• Readiness to deep dive into the biology/physics/chemistry of the platform companies we build

Preferred Requirements:

• Experience in CS, ML, Computational Chemistry, Computational Biology or a similar computational field.
• Experience with generative models, natural language processing, graphical neural networks, reinforcement learning, or similar.
• Familiarity with software development, including git and public cloud computing resources (e.g. AWS, GCP, Azure).
