About the company
Drug discovery is a hierarchical reinforcement-learning problem with a vast action space and years-long horizon. Scientists design and synthesize molecules that they predict will be potent, safe, and readily absorbed into the body, but this typically requires years of iteration in the lab and millions of dollars to develop a molecule that is ready for testing in human.
At Inductive, we’re building the AI and machine learning tools to radically accelerate this process. Our state-of-the-art predictive models and medicinal chemistry agents identify the right compounds to make at the right time, while our AI-integrated lab shortens the time to synthesize and test them. Our ADMET/PK models have placed first in the world’s largest AI drug discovery competition for ADMET benchmarks three consecutive times, and our technology is already being applied across dozens of biopharma partnerships.
Backed by leading technology and biotechnology investors including a16z, Lux, S32, and Obvious, our team brings together world-class expertise in machine learning and drug discovery.
About the role
We are seeking a Member of Technical Staff, Machine Learning to join our talented, ambitious, and kind team.

What you’ll do:
•
Develop machine learning models to predict molecular properties from chemical structures
•
Develop novel algorithms for generate and prioritize molecules for synthesis
•
Build agents that can analyze complex information from drug programs and apply that information strategically toward molecular optimization
•
Get your hands dirty by diving deep into our unique, proprietary dataset to iterate on modeling ideas and improve model performance
•
Collaborate closely with chemists and software engineers to integrate models into our software platform, which is used by drug discovery scientists across the industry
•
Build and optimize scalable infrastructure for model training, deployment, and monitoring
•
Engage directly with our scientific users, incorporating their feedback into the product
•
Contribute meaningfully to product strategy and company direction
Who you are:
•
