- Experience building partnerships at a developer-tools, infrastructure, or platform company
- Strong understanding of APIs, developer ecosystems, and technical integrations
- Track record of structuring and closing partnership deals (commercial and/or strategic)
- Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, product, and external partners
- Strong communication skills with both technical and business stakeholders

Nice to have:

- Experience in AI/ML platforms or cloud ecosystems
- Familiarity with life sciences software (e.g. Benchling, Veeva,  CDD Vault, Dotmatics)
- Scientific or technical background
- Experience at B2D companies like (Stripe, Twilio, AWS, etc)

What we offer:

- Opportunity to define Boltz’s ecosystem and distribution strategy
- Ownership of high-leverage partnerships across AI and life sciences
- Work at the intersection of frontier AI and real-world scientific impact
- 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.
