Qualifications

The ideal candidate will possess a robust background in computational and medicinal chemistry, with a keen understanding of drug design principles and practices. You should have a proven track record of successful project management and collaboration in a scientific environment. Strong analytical skills and the ability to interpret complex data sets are essential. Familiarity with computational modeling tools and techniques will be advantageous.

About the job

Inductive Bio is a pioneering AI medicinal chemistry partner dedicated to revolutionizing drug discovery. We create innovative virtual labs that empower drug discovery teams to make informed decisions more efficiently throughout the entire DMTA cycle. Our advanced platform features Beacon-1 ADMET prediction models, human dose projection tools, and Indy, an AI-driven medicinal chemistry assistant. In collaboration with Enamine, we provide library synthesis and direct-to-dose testing, seamlessly bridging the gap between computational design and experimental validation. Together, we fuel numerous small molecule and beyond-rule-of-five initiatives for our biotech and pharmaceutical partners.

Beacon-1 has consistently excelled, securing 1st place in both the 2025 Polaris and 2026 OpenADMET-ExpansionRx blind competitions, surpassing industry giants like Merck & Co and NVIDIA, as well as EMD Serono. Our efforts have garnered $30M in funding from notable investors such as Obvious Ventures, a16z Bio + Health, and Lux Capital, in addition to being awarded $21M from the ARPA-H CATALYST program to advance next-generation toxicity models.

The Role

We are in search of an experienced computational or medicinal chemist to join our dynamic Product Science team as a Product Scientist. In this pivotal role, you will be the primary scientific liaison for partner projects, leveraging your expertise in medicinal chemistry, computational chemistry, and DMPK to tackle complex molecular optimization challenges with an emphasis on dose-centric solutions. You will engage with a diverse array of small molecule modalities, therapeutic areas, and modeling obstacles.

As a thought leader in the evolution of Inductive's platform, you will contribute to the enhancement of our predictive models and dose projection tools, as well as Indy, our AI medicinal chemistry assistant, drawing from your own experiences and insights gained from real-world partner programs. We seek an individual whose instincts regarding small molecule optimization are honed through extensive hands-on experience, and who is eager to utilize these instincts to shape products that empower drug discovery teams.

Your Responsibilities:

Partner-Facing Science

  • Cultivate and manage the scientific relationships with partner project teams across various modalities, including reversible and covalent small molecules, macrocycles, molecular glues, and heterobifunctionals.

  • Organize and clarify complex program data. Analyze structure-activity relationships (SAR), discern the insights provided by the data, and proactively address inconsistencies before they lead to detrimental decisions.

  • Steer medicinal chemistry strategies: determine what to synthesize, what to test, how to prioritize compounds for further development, and where to allocate synthetic resources. Identify potential liabilities early in the process and assist partners in constructing risk mitigation plans.

About Inductive Bio

Inductive Bio is at the forefront of AI-driven medicinal chemistry, transforming how drug discovery is approached. Our innovative platform and strategic partnerships facilitate efficient decision-making in drug development, paving the way for groundbreaking advancements in the pharmaceutical industry.
