About Chai Discovery

Chai is a research lab working on generative models for molecular design. We are building AI infrastructure to engineer new medicines with speed and precision. The world’s largest pharmaceutical companies—including Eli Lilly, Pfizer, and Novartis—have started adopting our platform across their organizations.

Our mission is to unlock progress towards better cures and better science, and we see countless interesting problems on the road ahead. We are known for talent density, rigorous research and pace of execution.

Our founders have been at the forefront of this field from the beginning. We are backed by Sequoia, Index, Thrive, General Catalyst, Dimension, OpenAI and others.

About the role

We are looking for a data operations expert, or a fast-rising generalist, to help drive data generation initiatives here at Chai. Someone who operates with urgency, has strong communication and project management skills, and who has an analytical nature.

Data is vital to training frontier AI models, testing research hypotheses, and supporting our partners. You will set the vision and execute scaling of Chai’s lab-in-the-loop data platform, working hand-in-hand with our science and research teams. You don't need a biology background, but you will need to pick it up while learning about our AI methods.

This is a chance to push the boundaries of drug discovery and contribute to some of most advanced AI models ever imagined. Immerse yourself in technologies that represent the future of biotech, and position yourself at the forefront of this emerging field.

About you

Our ideal candidate can:

• Design & drive complex projects and workflows, across multi-party relationships.

• Translate research goals into concrete deliverables—experiments, deliverables, success criteria, SOWs, timelines, trackers, etc.

• Communicate highly technical information with clarity.

• Juggle concurrent projects and priorities, adapting quickly and keeping everyone in sync.

• Develop a vision for how we scale our data program by orders of magnitude.

You have a deep desire to push the limits of what’s possible and restless drive to solve real-world problems by iterating fast. Exposure to startups or other intense environments is important.

• Organized and scrappy

• Detail-oriented and fast-moving

• Flexible, proactive, ambitious
