## Job description

## About Boltz

Boltz is a public benefit company building the next generation of AI-powered molecular modelling tools to make biology programmable and accelerate drug discovery, while keeping frontier capabilities broadly accessible. Boltz-1, Boltz-2, and BoltzGen are open models used by more than 100,000 scientists across biotech and academia, and in research programmes across leading pharmaceutical, agrichemical, and industrial organisations.

We deliver these capabilities through BoltzLab, our platform for running our latest models and design agents as reliable, production-grade tools. BoltzLab is built around real chemistry and biology workflows, enabling teams to start with a target and hypothesis and rapidly generate, evaluate, and rank candidate molecules.

## About the role

We’re looking for an exceptional operator to join the Talent & Operations team at Boltz.

You’ll help us hire great people, create a thoughtful employee experience, and improve the systems that keep the company running as we grow.

This is a broad, high-ownership role for someone who enjoys solving ambiguous problems, moving quickly, and turning messy or manual processes into simple, effective ones. You’ll work across talent, people, and company operations, taking ownership of important projects while helping build the foundations Boltz needs for its next stage of growth. We’re looking for someone with strong judgement, high standards, and a bias towards action - someone who gets energy from helping a talented team do its best work.

## What you’ll do

You’ll work closely with the team across areas including:

- Talent: Help us find and hire exceptional people, from sourcing and candidate outreach through to interview processes, candidate experience, offers, and onboarding.
- People Operations: Help make joining and working at Boltz thoughtful, organised, and low-friction. Improve onboarding, internal processes, and the overall employee experience.
- Company Operations: Take ownership of operational projects and day-to-day problems that don’t fit neatly into one function, making sure important things get done.
- Building for scale: Identify processes that are manual, unclear, or inefficient and create lightweight systems that improve them without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy.

The exact shape of the role will evolve as Boltz grows, and there will be significant scope to take on more responsibility over time.

Who we’re looking for

You might be a great fit if you:

- Are a strong operator who gets things done quickly and to a high standard.
- Have excellent judgement and can be trusted with sensitive information and important decisions.
- Are highly organised and able to create structure without needing lots of it around you.
- Communicate clearly, warmly, and professionally.
- Care deeply about people and candidate experience while remaining commercially minded.
- Are comfortable moving between strategic thinking and hands-on execution.
- Enjoy working in fast-moving environments where priorities can change.
- Have excellent attention to detail and follow through reliably.
- Are resourceful and proactive - when you don’t know how to do something, you work it out.
- Look for ways to make things simpler, faster, and better rather than accepting existing processes as fixed.

Experience in talent, recruiting, people operations, startups, or general operations is useful, but we care more about trajectory, judgement, pace, and ownership than whether you’ve followed a particular career path.

What success looks like

Within your first few months, you’ll have become someone the team relies on. Our hiring processes will be sharper and more consistent. Candidates and new joiners will have an excellent experience. Operational loose ends will get closed quickly. Recurring processes will run reliably, and important projects will move forward because you’re driving them.

You’ll also begin identifying areas where better systems, processes, or ownership can help the company operate more effectively as it grows.

Over time, there is significant scope to shape both the role itself and how Talent & Operations works at Boltz.

## Why Boltz

You’ll join Boltz at an important stage of the company’s growth and work closely with the team building it. You’ll have real ownership, exposure to decisions across the business, and the opportunity to have an outsized impact on both the team we build and the company we become.

We care about working with exceptional people, moving quickly, solving important problems, and maintaining a very high bar without creating unnecessary process.

If that sounds like the kind of environment you’d enjoy, we’d love to hear from you.

## 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
