Inductive Bio is an AI drug discovery partner. We help small molecule teams make better decisions, faster, across the full DMTA cycle. Our platform includes best-in-class ADMET models, human dose projection tools, an agentic AI drug discovery assistant, and high-throughput synthesis and testing services. Together, these power dozens of small molecule and beyond-rule-of-five programs for biotech and pharma partners.
Inductive’s Beacon-1 placed 1st in the three most recent consecutive OpenADMET blind challenges. We've raised $30M from top VCs, and were selected for a $21M ARPA-H CATALYST contract in collaboration with Amgen.
The Role:
We're looking for a seasoned computational chemist to join our team as a Member of Technical Staff, Computational Chemistry.
Each partner program is led by an Inductive pair: a computational chemist and a medicinal chemist. You'll own the modeling and co-own scientific delivery and impact, applying your expertise to real molecular optimization problems with a human dose-centric framework. You'll work across a wide range of small molecule modalities, therapeutic areas, and modeling challenges.
You'll also shape the development of Inductive's platform, from our predictive models and dose projection tools to Indy, informed by your own experience and what you see working (and not working) on real partner programs. We need someone whose instincts about what matters in small molecule optimization come from years of doing it, and who wants to put those instincts into the products we build.
This is a remote-friendly role, but we give bonus points to candidates located in Boston, New York, or San Francisco where we have physical offices. While we are flexible on the time zone for primary working hours, this role requires availability for external meetings that frequently occur during Eastern Time business hours.
What You'll Do:
Your time divides between partner-facing science and methods/product development. The split is flexible based on your interests and company needs; partner-facing science could be anywhere from 30% to 90% of your time.
Partner-facing science
Co-own, together with an Inductive medicinal chemist, the scientific relationship with partner project teams. Our programs span reversible and covalent small molecules, macrocycles, molecular glues, and heterobifunctionals; you'll go deep where you have experience and stretch into the rest.
Drive modeling strategy: which assays are most critical to model, how to model them, and how to use these predictions to make decisions that move the program forward.
Bring order to messy program data. Rationalize SAR, identify what the data is and isn't telling you, and flag inconsistencies before they become bad decisions.
Guide med chem strategy: what to make, what to test, how to triage compounds for advancement, and where to focus synthetic resources. Identify liabilities early and help partners build de-risking plans.
Model in vivo outcomes end to end, from PK/PD/efficacy relationships to projected human dose, helping teams evaluate compounds through a dose-centric lens and reason about property tradeoffs in the context of therapeutic window.
Represent Inductive's scientific capabilities in partner meetings and publications.
Methods and Product Development
Prototype scientific analyses and modeling experiments in code. We use coding agents heavily within the Computational Chemistry team, so you can move from hypothesis to result quickly.
Build reusable analyses, tools, and workflows for internal use, for partner delivery, and for Indy. If you find yourself doing something twice, automate it.
Evaluate new computational methods on benchmark datasets and make pragmatic calls about what's worth adopting.
Dig into model performance issues. When predictions miss, understand why and work with the ML team to turn those findings into model improvements.
Stay current with the scientific literature and look for emerging techniques worth testing on real data.
Set scientific direction for the platform. You won't just provide feedback on what others build; you'll define what needs to exist and why, grounded in your past experience and what you see on partner programs.
Sit in product design meetings and own the user perspective. You use our tools every day; that makes you the most credible voice in the room for what's working and what isn't.
Write feature requirements, prioritize the roadmap alongside product and engineering, and hold the bar on whether what ships actually solves the problem.
Help grow the Computational Chemistry team as Inductive scales.
Who You Are:
A pragmatic drug discovery scientist with 5+ years on project teams across multiple stages of discovery, from hit identification through lead optimization. You've developed strong opinions about what works and what doesn't, and partners trust your judgment at the technical, scientific, and strategic level.
Broad technical range across cheminformatics, structure/physics-based modeling (docking/QM/FEP), ML, and DMPK. Deep scientific training in a relevant field is expected; the specific degree matters less than what you've done with it.
Comfortable writing Python and picking up new tools. We use coding agents daily and prototype fast; strong coders with experience with AI coding agents will thrive here.
Clear communicator who can lead cross-functional discussions and turn complex analyses into visuals that land with both technical and non-technical audiences.
Bonus points if you've seen a program through to DC nomination or IND-enabling studies, or bring hands-on medicinal chemistry experience.
Working at Inductive:
We offer competitive salary and equity-based compensation; comprehensive healthcare benefits (including dental and vision); and the opportunity to grow along with a rapidly scaling company. Working at a fast-growing startup is not always a 9–5 job, but we believe that our employees should have full lives beyond their career.

","descriptionPlain":"At Inductive Bio, we're helping drug hunters find better medicines, faster, through our virtual lab and AI-enabled synthesis and testing approach. Chemists have historically relied on slow, resource-intensive design-make-test-analyze (DMTA) cycles to find molecules that are effective, safe, and viable in the human body. We're changing that with our state-of-the-art AI platform that makes every DMTA cycle as efficient and impactful as possible.\n\nOur ADMET/PK models have placed first in the world's largest AI drug discovery competition for ADMET benchmarks two years running. Most recently, outperforming 370+ submissions, including Merck + NVIDIA, and EMD Serono. We are backed by leading investors at the intersection of technology and biotechnology, and our team includes world-class technology and drug discovery experts. We've partnered with dozens of biopharma companies to expedite their highest priority drug programs. To meet the rapidly growing demand, we need to expand our go-to-market team with high performing individuals.\n\nAs adoption of our products and services grows, we are looking for a Enterprise Lead to deepen our work with large pharma by shaping and scaling offerings around their most important needs. You will work directly with pharma leaders and scientists, alongside our internal teams, to uncover opportunities, develop and test new offerings, and rapidly iterate based on customer feedback. You will then help build the commercial strategy to bring those offerings to market at scale.\n\nThis is an opportunity to take meaningful ownership of a critical growth area for Inductive. You will help define what we build, how we bring it to market, and how we grow our partnerships with large pharma, with the opportunity to expand your scope and leadership as the business scales.\n\nWhat you’ll do\n\n - Build a deep understanding of the workflows, priorities, and needs of large pharma discovery organizations\n\n - Lead conversations with scientific and business stakeholders to uncover the underlying problems behind customer feedback and requests\n\n - Work closely with our internal teams to translate those insights into new product capabilities, services, and commercial offerings\n\n - Develop hypotheses about the strongest entry points for Inductive within large pharma, test them in the market, and rapidly adjust based on what you learn\n\n - Identify target accounts and stakeholders, build relationships, and create opportunities through thoughtful outbound outreach, industry events, and your network\n\n - Shape compelling pitches, pilots, pricing, and business cases that connect scientific impact to measurable organizational value\n\n - Support the commercial process from initial conversation through pilot design, stakeholder alignment, negotiation, and delivery throughout the collaboration\n\n - Build repeatable playbooks for selling, delivering, and expanding Inductive’s products and services within complex pharma organizations\n\n - Bring clear market feedback back to the company and influence our product roadmap and broader go to market strategy\n\nWho you are\n\n - You have 3+ years of experience in life sciences consulting, strategy, business development, or another highly customer-facing role\n\n - You have a strong scientific foundation. An advanced degree is strongly preferred, but not required\n\n - You understand drug discovery and can engage credibly with scientific stakeholders\n\n - You are skilled at turning ambiguous customer input into a clear problem, a testable hypothesis, and a practical next step\n\n - You are comfortable forming a point of view, testing it quickly, and changing course when the evidence calls for it\n\n - You can communicate complex scientific and technical ideas clearly to audiences ranging from bench scientists to senior executives\n\n - You are commercially minded and energized by building relationships, shaping an opportunity, and persuading others to act\n\n - You are execution-oriented and comfortable owning customer engagements through delivery, coordinating across teams to ensure we deliver on what we promise and create meaningful value for the customer\n\n - You thrive in environments where the offering and playbook are still being built\n\n - You are excited to take meaningful ownership in a fast growing startup\n\nWorking at Inductive\n\nAt Inductive Bio, we know that the people on the team are what make us great.
