Machine Learning Engineer, Alphafold, Boltz, Chai, Drug Discovery | B2B AI Start-up | 3 Days PW in London | Up to £130,000 Plus Benefits

I am currently partnering with a high-growth, AI-native drug design startup based in Central London that is fundamentally changing how chemistry teams progress their programs.

While many in the space struggle with fragmented data, this team has built a proprietary platform using curated, non-public experimental data—aggregated from patents and global partners—to predict molecule properties with unprecedented accuracy.

Since their launch in 2023, their technology has already been adopted by hundreds of chemists worldwide, impacting real-world programs in oncology, dementia, and global health.
