Frontend Software Engineer

Drug discovery is a design problem. Chemists spend hours each week combining experimental data with their own intuition to design molecules that they believe will be potent against a biological target, absorb well into the body, and be non-toxic. This effort takes years to succeed and costs millions of dollars – all while patients’ needs for new therapeutics go unmet.

At Inductive Bio, our goal is to build software that can dramatically improve how molecules are designed. To do so, we are building a Figma-like platform, backed by scalable infrastructure and state-of-the-art AI, that allows the best drug discovery teams in the world to collaborate effectively on this challenging design problem. Our platform is already being used on more than 30 active drug discovery programs, and adoption is rapidly growing. We are backed by leading investors at the intersection of technology and biotechnology, and we are advised by world-class drug discovery experts.

We are seeking a front-end software engineer with UI/UX design experience to join our talented, ambitious, and kind team. You’ll work directly with chemists, ML Engineers, and our users to design and implement products that will be used every day by some of the world’s best drug chemists and biologists to discover new therapies. As an early engineer at a rapidly-growing startup, you’ll have the opportunity for high impact while learning and growing with the company.

What you’ll do:

• Build responsive and user-friendly software that empower scientists and researchers in their drug discovery efforts

• Talk directly to users and take the lead on both the design and implementation of new features

• Design and prototype intuitive, visually compelling interfaces tailored to the specialized needs of chemists and biologists

• Collaborate closely with backend and ML engineers to seamlessly integrate complex scientific data into intuitive workflows

• Solve deep UI/UX challenges due to the complexity of the domain

• Establish and maintain scalable front-end architectures, enhancing maintainability, consistency, and performance of our applications

• Help make business and product decisions that will shape the future of the company

Who you are:

• 4+ years of experience as a front-end or full-stack software engineer, designing and shipping complex, interactive web applications

• Experience with design systems, component libraries, and prototyping tools (e.g., Figma)

• Deep product and UI/UX design intuition

• Proficiency in modern frontend technologies

• Outstanding written and oral communication skills

• Interest in diving deep into the science of a drug discovery and the business of a growing startup
