About the role

The most important way that AI can benefit humanity is to accelerate scientific discovery. At Inductive, we are doing just that. Our models have won the leading AI for drug discovery chemistry benchmark three times in a row. Our in-house agentic AI platform is already deployed across dozens of drug programs and removing years from drug discovery timelines.

We are seeking curious and ambitious software engineers to join our interdisciplinary team of engineers, scientists, designers, and product specialists.

What you’ll do

  • Build high-quality software that empowers scientists to use our AI agent and award-winning models to design better molecules.
  • Design and improve infrastructure for model management and low-latency inference, including security features, performance optimization, and system orchestration.
  • Build tools for AI-assisted chemical synthesis and automated wet-lab operations.
  • Own the full scope of large projects, working across design, infrastructure, backend, and frontend.
  • Contribute to internal platforms for improving agentic coding across the company.
  • Interact directly with internal and external scientists to design improvements to the platform.
  • Contribute to business and product decisions that will shape the future of the company.

Who you are

  • 4+ years of industry experience solving difficult software engineering problems
  • Strong fundamentals in API design, data modeling, and application security, with experience operating, monitoring and deploying production services in the cloud
  • Outstanding written and oral communication skills
  • Product-oriented mindset and comfort with ambiguity
  • Interest in diving deep into the science of drug discovery and the business of a growing startup
