Talent

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.

We are looking for a few exceptional individuals to anchor our founding talent team. We are indexing on curiosity, taste, resourcefulness, IQ and EQ in equal measure. It will be a lot of fun, a lot of work, and extraordinarily rewarding.

#1 Build an incredible company.

You will help design every detail of this org. You will refine your nose for outlier talent and exceptional genius, wherever it may be found. You will relentlessly tackle every aspect of every assignment you take on. You'll work with our founders and leaders day in and out.

#2 Learn everything, communicate expertly.

This job demands that you can hold an intelligent conversation with anyone at any level. You will ravenously learn everything about what we're doing, why we're doing it, and where we're headed -- so that you can tell our story with passion and authenticity. You care 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.

You will walk away from this position knowing that you were a force multiplier in accelerating humanity's progress towards better medicines and better understanding of biology. You will gain the know-how and the network to establish yourself as an industry operator, bolstering any plans you might have to found your own company one day.

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