About AQEMIA
AQEMIA is a drug invention company dedicated to creating entirely new medicines to address major unmet medical needs.
At the core of our mission is QEMI, our proprietary molecule-invention platform, which uniquely combines cutting-edge science with advanced technology. Powered by physics-based modeling, statistical mechanics, and generative AI, QEMI allows our teams to design novel drug candidates from first principles.
What makes AQEMIA different is our commitment to true innovation: our research is dedicated to the invention of new molecular entities, not the refinement of existing ones. We focus on inventing never-before-seen molecules, without relying on experimental data, and advancing them into a growing pipeline of proprietary programs and strategic partnerships with leading pharmaceutical companies.
Our most advanced preclinical programs are currently in in vivo optimization, targeting diseases still waiting for effective treatments, offering our teams the opportunity to work on science that can make a real difference in people’s lives.
About our Team
AQEMIA brings together a diverse, multidisciplinary team of 65+ professionals based in Paris and London. Our scientists and engineers, including chemists, physicists, machine learning experts, and software engineers, work side by side to push the boundaries of early-stage drug discovery.
This close collaboration across disciplines is central to our approach, enabling us to tackle complex scientific challenges from first principles and translate cutting-edge ideas into novel therapeutic candidates. At AQEMIA, team members are encouraged to contribute their expertise, learn from one another, and play an active role in shaping the future of drug invention.
The role
We are hiring a Staff Software Engineer to join the Compute team to own and scale the systems that power Aqemia’s scientific platform. As our research grows in complexity and scale, this role exists to ensure our compute infrastructure, workflows, and developer tooling enable - not limit - scientific progress.
You will bring strong software engineering rigor into a highly scientific environment, working closely with physicists, AI researchers, and engineers to industrialize workflows and improve reliability at scale. This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the foundations of how cutting-edge science is executed in production.
Success in this role means scientists can run complex models and workflows faster, more reliably, and at greater scale, with infra and tooling that empower, not limit them.
