## Job description

## About Boltz

Boltz is a public benefit company building the next generation of AI-powered molecular modeling tools to make biology programmable and accelerate drug discovery, while keeping frontier capabilities broadly accessible.

Boltz-1, Boltz-2, and BoltzGen are open models trusted by 100,000+ scientists across biotech and academia, and used in programs at every Top 20 pharma as well as leading agrichemical and industrial research organizations.

We deliver these capabilities through Boltz Lab, our platform for running our latest models and design agents as reliable, production-grade tools. Boltz Lab is designed around real chemistry and biology workflows, so teams can start from a target and a hypothesis and quickly generate, evaluate, and rank candidate molecules.

## About the role

As Community Lead, you will be leading the interactions of Boltz within the global scientific and developer community, as well as helping maintain our open-source models.

You will work both on our open-source models and users as well as as our product users, engaging with them, helping them succeed with Boltz models and turning their feedback into insights for product and growth.

This is a highly outward-facing role: you’ll be active in community channels, create technical content, support users, and help shape the culture of the Boltz ecosystem.

You will work closely with the Head of Community & Growth Marketing, product, and research teams to ensure that the community remains engaged, supported, and continuously growing.

## About you

Essentials:

- Strong communicator with the ability to engage technical audiences (scientists, developers, ML practitioners)
- Experience working with developer or open-source communities (Discord, Slack, GitHub, forums, etc.)
- Comfortable creating content (tutorials, demos, walkthroughs, posts)
- Empathetic and user-focused — you enjoy helping people solve problems
- Able to operate in fast-moving environments and respond quickly to community needs

Nice to have:

- Active users of the Boltz open source models
- Experience as a developer advocate, community manager, or similar role
- Familiarity with tools used in scientific or ML workflows
- Experience contributing to or maintaining open-source projects
- Presence in relevant communities (Twitter/X, GitHub, Discord, etc.)

## What you’ll do

- Engage daily with the Boltz community across Discord, GitHub, and other channels
- Support users in getting started and troubleshooting issues
- Contribute to the open source models and repositories
- Create technical content (guides, notebooks, videos, demos)
- Help run community programs, events, and activations
- Contribute to building a strong, collaborative community culture

## What we offer

- Opportunity to be at the center of a fast-growing global scientific community
- Direct impact on how researchers and developers use frontier AI tools
- High visibility across product, research, and growth teams
- Competitive compensation and equity

## About Boltz

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Boltz builds foundational AI models and a platform for biomolecular modeling and design, enabling scientists to engineer proteins and small molecules for drug discovery.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage; raised $28M)
- **Headquarters**: London, United Kingdom (also has an office in Boston, Massachusetts, USA)
- **Founded**: 2025
- **Founders**: Not publicly available (the company originated from research at MIT)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Artificial intelligence for biology and chemistry; biotechnology research
- **Target customers**: B2B – pharmaceutical companies (including all top 20 pharma), biotech startups, academic labs, and individual scientists
- **Mission or purpose statement**: To advance the frontier of AI capabilities in biology through open science and make them universally accessible to every scientist working toward a healthier, more sustainable future. Boltz is a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC).

## Products & Services
- **Boltz-1 / Boltz-1x**: Open-source structure prediction models approaching AlphaFold3-level accuracy; commercially usable under a permissive license.
- **Boltz-2**: Frontier structure prediction model that pushes binding affinity prediction to unprecedented accuracy using large-scale supervision.
- **BoltzGen**: A protein design model and agent capable of generating binders to arbitrary targets, validated across diverse modalities, targets, and assays.
- **Boltz Lab**: A cloud platform (in beta) providing hosted compute, agentic workflows for small-molecule discovery and protein design, collaborative interfaces, and enterprise deployments (multi-tenant, single-tenant, or on-premise). SOC 2 Type 1 verified. Usage-based pricing with generous free tiers.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: $28M in total seed funding (1 prior round)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Amplify, a16z, Zetta (co-leads); angel investors include Clement Delangue (CEO of Hugging Face), Factorial Capital, Obvious Ventures. **Key partnership**: multi-year agreement with Pfizer to deploy Boltz Lab across the company and co-develop new foundation models.
- **Growth Signals**: 5M+ downloads, 100k+ scientists using the models, adoption by all top 20 pharma companies and thousands of biotechs. Rapidly expanding team (hiring research engineers, software engineers, product designers, protein engineers).

## Competitive Advantages
- **Open‑source foundation**: Permissively licensed models (Boltz-1, Boltz-1x) that have been validated by the community, lowering the barrier to entry and building trust.
- **Performance and cost**: Claims the lowest price per unit of any major provider in the space; optimized models reduce compute costs.
- **IP protection**: Customers own their outputs, data stays secure, and Boltz does not train on customer data. Offers on-premise deployment for sensitive work.
- **Public Benefit Corporation**: Mission‑aligned structure that explicitly avoids competing with customers (Boltz does not develop drugs itself).

## Strategic Focus
- **Three pillars**: Research (understand and reprogram biology from the bottom up), Product (put powerful AI into scientists’ hands via agentic workflows and eventually autonomous labs), Community (open science and broad accessibility).
- **Current priorities**: Expanding the Boltz Lab platform, fine‑tuning models on proprietary customer data, building agents for new modalities, and scaling enterprise partnerships.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Mission‑driven, open‑science ethos with a strong emphasis on research excellence and product impact. The team is lean (~17 employees as of early 2026) and growing.
- **Remote/Hybrid**: Not explicitly stated; locations include London (HQ) and Boston. Likely flexible given the global team (employees in UK, US, Netherlands, Switzerland).
- **Notable perks**: Opportunity to work on frontier AI models used by 100k+ scientists; direct collaboration with top pharma; usage‑based pricing aligns with customer success; public‑benefit status ensures long‑term mission alignment.
- **Engineering culture**: Heavy focus on research engineering, software engineering, and product design. Looking for protein engineers with preclinical experience to shape the product roadmap.
