Build the infrastructure layer for computational chemistry
We're a self-funded team working on a specific, hard problem: making DFT-level quantum chemistry calculations as accessible as any other cloud API. If you have deep expertise in quantum chemistry, distributed systems, or scientific software, we'd like to talk.
What we offer
Hard problems, real domain depth
Every engineering decision has chemistry implications. You'll need to understand DFT, or be willing to learn it alongside engineers who do.
Small team, real ownership
We're under 10 people. Everyone owns a domain end-to-end. No coordination overhead. Ship fast, iterate faster.
Cambridge, MA
We're in Kendall Square — surrounded by the biotech and chemistry research ecosystem. In-person preferred; exceptions for exceptional candidates.
Current openings
Senior Computational Chemist
SciencePhD in computational chemistry with strong DFT background. Experience with NEB, IRC, and thermochemical calculations. Knowledge of functional benchmarking and accuracy validation preferred. Will own a subset of our science validation program and interact directly with early users.
ApplyDistributed Systems Engineer
EngineeringStrong background in distributed job scheduling, autoscaling, and compute resource management. Experience with Kubernetes or similar container orchestration. Familiarity with scientific workload characteristics (I/O-bound, variable runtimes, checkpoint-restart) a strong plus.
ApplyScientific Software Developer (Python SDK)
EngineeringStrong Python background with experience building developer-facing APIs. Comfortable reading scientific software (quantum chemistry code, output parsers, unit conversion). Will own the Python SDK, API design, and developer documentation. Computational chemistry familiarity preferred, not required.
