About the Role
DigiChem is reshaping how new chemicals are developed and brought to market. Join us if you want to enable the next generation of advanced chemistries powering everything from sustainable energy to AI.
Our Engineering team is developing the most powerful system for synthesizing molecules ever made, leveraging AI and deep integration with physical hardware to perform chemistry on demand and easily scale to manufacturing. In front of it all is an intuitive, beautiful user interface that our customers love to use.
If you love working at the intersection of AI and chemistry to develop cutting-edge software, this could be the role for you!
The Job
In this role, you will be responsible for leading the architecture and development of DigiChem’s AI cheminformatics stack powering custom synthesis. You’ll own model design, data pipelines, and production deployment, partnering closely with synthetic chemists and platform engineers. Your key responsibilities will include:
- Define the end-to-end technical architecture for AI synthesis and process planning
- Translate synthesis planning requirements into technical specs in partnership with our chemists
- Design the data pipeline for molecules, reactions, and procedures
- Build and benchmark models that enable our on-demand chemistry platform
- Package models into production-ready services
- Evaluate and select from open source and commercial tools
You
