- Lead transformative research projects from conception to implementation, tackling core challenges in generative modeling for molecular systems.
- Design and develop novel models and algorithms, building upon the latest literature in diffusion models, flow matching, RL, LLMs, and other cutting-edge areas.
- Execute ambitious experiments at scale, leveraging our world-class computational infrastructure to rigorously validate your hypotheses and push the boundaries of the state-of-the-art.
- Collaborate intensely with a multidisciplinary team to translate your research into tangible impact on our drug discovery platform.
- Contribute to the global research community by publishing some of your work and representing Genesis at top tier AI/ML conferences and workshops.
- Mentor and guide other researchers and engineers, fostering a culture of shared learning, growth, and innovation.
You are
- A deep learning expert with a portfolio of novel research in one or more cutting-edge domains of generative or predictive modeling (e.g., diffusion, flow matching, RL, foundation model architectures and training methods).
- An independent, first-principles thinker with a strong sense of ownership over your research projects and a drive to see them through to completion.
- A strong coder, comfortable with going deep into the engineering stack to build, debug, and ship your own models.
- A curious, problem-oriented mind, excited to dive into the emerging field at the intersection of AI, physics, chemistry, and biology and make foundational contributions and discoveries. No prior experience in biology or chemistry is necessary – only willingness to learn.

What We Do
Genesis Therapeutics is unifying AI and biotech to accelerate and optimize drug discovery.
We pioneer novel deep learning and molecular simulation techniques to accelerate the development of new medicines.
Genesis raised its $52M Series A from top tech + biotech investors, Andreessen Horowitz, Rock Springs, and T. Rowe Price.
Story: https://techcrunch.com/2020/12/02/genesis-therapeutics-raises-52m-a-round-for-its-ai-focused-drug-discovery-mission/
We deploy our technology to accelerate a pipeline of several internal drug programs.
Furthermore, Genesis has announced two significant, multi-target collaborations with Genentech and with Eli Lilly, the latter of which entailed a $20M upfront payment with a $670M total deal size.
Now we are scaling the team and technology to support many more programs in parallel as well as increasingly difficult protein targets.
We currently have a team (genesistherapeutics.ai/company.html#team) of about 35 people, split 50/50 between our ML / software team and our biochem team of veteran drug hunters in our own wetlab space. Our ML + software engineers are top-notch -- many graduates from MIT, UC Berkeley, Stanford. Previously worked at OpenAI, Google, Facebook, MemSQL, Jane Street, Dropbox, etc.
We're recruiting pure ML research scientists + software engineers (no bio or chem experience expected) to further our core AI platform as well as scale our drug pipeline.
Likewise, we have several openings in chemistry and biology to join our team of biotech + pharma veterans who are deploying the Genesis ML platform to discover novel drug candidates.
