Nature has spent billions of years evolving enzymes as a method for efficient catalysis, but most industrially relevant chemical reactions are not found in nature.
We are developing generative models that learn from natural enzymes to design entirely new ones, enabling efficient biocatalysis across the $6 trillion chemical industry.
Backed by A Capital, SV Angel, Hawktail, Liquid2, Soma capital, Y Combinator, Paul Graham, Apoorva Mehta and many more.
We Are Hiring!
We are a team of of 4 AI researchers and scientists from Oxford University on a mission to change the chemical industry. We are driven by ambitious goals, fast execution, and a strong sense of urgency. If you want to design enzymes that manufacture pharmaceuticals, break down toxins in food, or degrade chemical weapons, join us.
Deep Learning Researcher
Background: Junior roles require technical backgrounds (Maths, Physics, Computer Science, Engineering) with experience in deep learning. Senior roles require 3+ years of experience in deep learning at PhD level or at industry level. Deep curiosity is a must. Biological background is a plus but is not required.
Location: San Francisco (We will sponsor your visa)
Compensation: $100,000 - $250,000 + equity depending on experience.
Research Scientist (Wet Lab)
Background: Junior roles require 1+ years of wet lab experience with experience in protein engineering. Senior roles require 3+ years of wet lab experience with experience in protein engineering, high throughput screening, and/or enzyme engineering. Deep curiosity is a must. Experience with AI is a plus.
Location: San Francisco (We will sponsor your visa)
Compensation: $80,000 - $175,000 + equity depending on experience.
