Atomwise United StatesDate Posted: 20 Apr, 2023Work Location: San Francisco, United StatesSalary Offered: $190000 — $215000 yearlyJob Type: Full TimeExperience Required: 6+ yearsRemote Work: YesVacancies: 1 availableAbout AtomwiseAtomwise is a technology-enabled pharmaceutical company leveraging the power of AI to revolutionize small molecule drug discovery. The Atomwise team invented the use of deep learning for structure-based drug design; this technology underpins Atomwise’s best-in-class AI discovery engine, which is differentiated by its ability to find and optimize novel chemical matter. Atomwise has extensively validated its discovery engine, delivering success in over 185 projects to-date including a wide-variety of protein types and numerous “hard-to-drug” targets. Atomwise is building a wholly owned pipeline of small-molecule drug candidates, with three programs in lead-optimization and over 30 programs in discovery. The company has raised over $174 million from leading venture capital firms to advance its mission to make better medicines, faster.Do you enjoy interdisciplinary challenges where your contributions have real-world impact?
