About the Role

We are looking for a data operations expert, or a fast-rising generalist, to help drive data generation initiatives here at Chai. Someone who operates with urgency, has strong communication and project management skills, and who has an analytical nature.

Data is vital to training frontier AI models, testing research hypotheses, and supporting our partners. You will set the vision and execute scaling of Chai’s lab-in-the-loop data platform, working hand-in-hand with our science and research teams. You don't need a biology background, but you will need to pick it up while learning about our AI methods.

This is a chance to push the boundaries of drug discovery and contribute to some of most advanced AI models ever imagined. Immerse yourself in technologies that represent the future of biotech, and position yourself at the forefront of this emerging field.

Our ideal candidate can

  • Design & drive complex projects and workflows, across multi-party relationships.
  • Translate research goals into concrete deliverables-experiments, deliverables, success criteria, SOWs, timelines, trackers, etc.
  • Communicate highly technical information with clarity.
  • Juggle concurrent projects and priorities, adapting quickly and keeping everyone in sync.
  • Develop a vision for how we scale our data program by orders of magnitude.

Additional information

You have a deep desire to push the limits of what’s possible and restless drive to solve real-world problems by iterating fast. Exposure to startups or other intense environments is important.

  • Organized and scrappy
  • Detail-oriented and fast-moving
  • Flexible, proactive, ambitious

We Offer

  • The opportunity to work at the vanguard of AI research and frontier biology, with world-class people, on a mission that matters.
  • We protect & promote a culture of high velocity and ownership.
  • We compensate our team accordingly.
