AI Scientist - Entrepreneur in Residence
You will be an AI Scientist at Molecule. In your first four weeks, you will live on-site, embedded with the founding team, and ship your first autonomous agent fleet into production against a real disease area. From day one you own the loop: design the agents, deploy them, pilot them, iterate, and generate scientific output that moves IP forward. This is not a research role with a roadmap handed to you. You will pick targets, stand up infrastructure, recruit your sub-agents, and prove that autonomous science works at the bench-to-IP level. After the residency, you scale: more fleets, more disease areas, more shots on goal.
Responsibilities
- Architect and deploy fleets of scientific agents spanning literature mining, target identification, molecular design, assay design, and data analysis
- Pilot each fleet against a specific disease area and drive it to a tangible deliverable — a validated target, a candidate molecule, a novel dataset, an IP-NFT
- Run multiple fleets in parallel across disease areas, reporting results directly to the CEO
- Own the full stack: agent design, orchestration, evaluation, and scientific judgment on outputs
- Define and set the standard for how autonomous science gets done at Molecule
Requirements
- Entrepreneurial mindset with a bias to ship without waiting for permission
- Technically deep across LLMs, agent frameworks, and at least one wet-science domain - chemistry, biology, pharma, structural biology, or genomics
- Comfortable operating with ambiguity
- Credential-agnostic; if holding a degree it should be from a top-tier institution (Oxbridge, Ivy League, MIT, Caltech, Stanford, ETH/EPFL, Imperial, or equivalent)
- Willing to live on-site for 4 weeks and operate at founder pace
Benefits
- Equity in the form of $BIO token allocation
