DeepMirror is a drug discovery platform that combines human ingenuity with AI to accelerate the identification of promising drug candidates. Their core product, the DeepMirror App, features a generative molecular AI for molecule design and a predictive engine for molecular properties like potency and ADMET. The platform aims to reduce the time and cost associated with drug discovery, enabling chemists to progress from hit compound to preclinical candidate within months. They emphasize user-friendliness, allowing medicinal chemists of all levels to leverage advanced AI tools. DeepMirror's approach is data-driven, learning from proprietary databases and customer data to provide accurate predictions and build confidence in designed molecules before costly synthesis. They also highlight their commitment to security, offering ISO 27001 certification and end-to-end encryption for user data and intellectual property.

deepmirror empowers chemists to design better drugs faster with AI. Access to data and expertise are the main barriers for AI in drug discovery. We have built an intuitive co ideation platform on which computational and medicinal chemists can access high quality data to build powerful AI models for their drug programs. Since launching in 2023, our platform is now used by hundreds of chemists across the globe to impact real world drug programs.
Now, we are looking for an experienced research engineer to supercharge our product.
In this role, you will design and develop cutting-edge algorithms for structure based design to tackle real-world challenges of AI in drug discovery. This is an outstanding opportunity for someone who wants to be involved from day one of the start-up journey and who wants to put new processes into place to build a powerful platform in a high-performing and collaborative team, based in beautiful Victoria House in the heart of London.
As part of the product team, you will build core services integrating advanced structure-based algorithms into our platform. Leveraging your expertise in scientific knowledge and software engineering, we encourage you to seize the opportunity to be independent and drive innovation and quality. In the role, you will have substantial growth opportunities, allowing you to shape deepmirror’s technological framework from its inception and learn in an interdisciplinary environment at the interface of physics, chemistry, biology, and machine learning.
