Software Engineer Intern - 2027

Genesis Molecular AI is building a world-class software team to solve problems in drug discovery through machine learning, biophysical simulation, and computational chemistry. We are looking for engineers excited to help develop new medicines and play a critical role in building out our software platform.

You will

- Build and expand on tools for visualizing molecules and proteins, analyzing machine learning models, and managing complex chemical workflows

- Work closely with machine learning engineers and medicinal chemists to develop and productionize new computational methods for molecular property prediction

- Help scale our core infrastructure to handle billions of datapoints and thousands of parallel deep learning and molecular dynamics jobs

You are

- A strong software engineer who will write code quickly and uphold our code quality standards

- A deep thinker who reasons from first principles over pattern matching

- Interested in learning about biochemistry and the drug development process

What we offer

- The opportunity to work on high impact tools and products that are immediately deployed to accelerate the discovery of new medicines

- Strong technical coworkers in AI, software, and chemistry, who all have a powerful mix of intellectual curiosity and humility. The team reads and discusses 1-2 machine learning or chemistry papers every week to stay on top of the field and inspire new ideas
