About Chai Discovery

Chai is a research lab working on AI to unlock biology. Our models design new molecules for new medicines. We are changing how biologists develop drugs, just as language models are changing how engineers write code. Our vision is a design suite for molecules, with applications across life sciences, agriculture, materials and beyond.

Our founders have been at the forefront of this field from the beginning. We are backed by Thrive, General Catalyst, OpenAI, Dimension and other tier-one investors. We partner with global life sciences companies like Eli Lilly on deals that are transforming industry.

We are known for talent density, rigorous research and pace of execution.

Can you help us?

We are looking for an exceptional individual to anchor our founding talent team. Someone relentlessly curious, outcome-oriented, empathetic, self-aware, and market-aware. It will be a lot of fun, a lot of work, and extraordinarily rewarding.

#1 Build something exceptional.

You will help us design every detail of this org, establish the foundations for the talent function at Chai, and get the perfect person into every seat. You will develop your nose for polymaths, outlier talent, and exceptional genius, wherever they may be found. You tackle every aspect of your work with gusto.

#2 Be a gifted communicator.

You can hold intelligent conversations with anyone. You will ravenously learn everything about our domain, what we're doing, and why we're doing it -- so that you can tell our story with passion and authenticity. You care about others and build trust by keeping it real.

#3 Think + act different.

We don't think the status quo is good enough, and neither do you. You have consistently shown innate ability to think and act beyond what is expected in order to achieve out-of-distribution results. You turn insight into action, optimize for iteration over perfection, and operate with urgency & creativity in equal measure.

We offer

The opportunity to work at the frontier of AI, with world-class people, on a mission that matters. We protect & promote a culture of high velocity and ownership. We offer highly competitive compensation.
