Job description

ABOUT CHAI DISCOVERY

Chai builds the design suite for molecules. We train frontier models that learn the underlying foundations of biochemical structure and interaction, so scientists can move faster and pursue targets that other methods cannot reach.

AI is reinventing life sciences the same way it reinvented software engineering, and Chai is at the forefront of this shift. Leading pharmaceutical companies like Eli Lilly endpoints.news/, Pfizer forbes.com/, and Novartis chaidiscovery.com/novartis-partnership are adopting our platform to power their drug discovery programs.

We value diverse perspectives and are ready to find greatness in unexpected places.

INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

We do not offer internships—everything is too fast, too critical, too sensitive and too fun for it to be any other way :) However... we love to meet people who share our passion for shaping the future of medicine. So if that sounds like you, tell us more about yourself so that we can stay in touch.
