Helical is powering the in-silico labs for biology. Drug discovery still runs in wet labs: slow, expensive, and locked in physical trial-and-error.
We’re changing that. Our platform makes Bio Foundation Models directly usable for discovery, enabling pharma teams to run millions of virtual experiments in days, not years.
That means you have a rare opportunity to help define how the next generation of drugs will be discovered. Today, leading pharma companies across the globe already use Helical. And we’re just getting started.
We’re a talent-dense team building a generation-defining company from Europe. We seek people who care deeply, ship fast, and want their work to change how medicine is made.
Join us on this journey as part of our founding team, you’ll help shape the in-silico labs of tomorrow.
As an Operations & Strategy Intern, you’ll work directly with the founding team to help design, scale, and operate the core of the company. This isn’t a typical internship, you’ll be trusted with high-impact projects from day one.
You’ll work across teams, and be exposed to every part of the business. If you’re excited by the idea of helping build a company from the ground up, this is your chance.
This internship is designed to be fast-paced, high-learning, and high-ownership, with a clear path to full-time if there’s a mutual fit.
