Product Designer

ABOUT CHAI DISCOVERY Chai is an applied research lab working on AI to unlock biology. Our models design new molecules for new medicines. Scientists across industry are adopting our software platform to develop drugs with engineering precision and discover treatments to "undruggable" disease. Our founders have been at the forefront of this field since its inception. We raised $230m from Thrive, General Catalyst, OpenAI, Dimension and other tier-one investors. We partner with global life sciences companies like Eli Lilly on deals that are transforming the industry landscape. We are known for talent density, rigorous research and pace of execution. ABOUT THE ROLE As Chai’s first Product Designer, you will wrap cutting-edge AI models into intuitive tools that scientists find indispensable for their work. You’ll own the end-to-end design process, user research, wire-frames, high-fidelity mock-ups, design system, and dashboards that scientist use to query models, visualize molecular structures, and interpret data with our AI in the loop. You’ll guide the product to optimize clarity, consistency, and user delight in a domain that is often cluttered and technical. After years of foundational R&D, Chai's models are moving beyond protein structure prediction into real-world therapeutic engineering. This is a chance to bring the most advanced AI drug design models to market, working alongside a craft-obsessed team of micro pessimists and macro-optimists. ABOUT YOU You are mission-driven and want to define the gold standard for purposeful AI technology. You should have: Design background: - 5+ years designing exceptional products, with a portfolio that shows end-to-end ownership of complex technologies intended for specialized domain experts. - You've designed AI-first products that break the mold and do new things in new ways. - Comfortable building low-fi sketches, polished Figma files, interactive prototypes, and whatever else is needed for the job at hand. - Excited to dive into the domain of molecular biology, drug discovery and AI/ML. Communication: - Clear communicator who can articulate design decisions and synthesize complex science for cross-functional audiences. - A skillful listener & observer who brings everything from the biggest ideas to the most minute feedback into the building. - Fosters a culture of design thinking and best practices. Mindset: - Bias for simplicity and minimalism in highly technical domains. - Comfortable iterating quickly and operating in an environment where everything evolves fast. Nice-to-have experience: - Scientific / biology / bioinformatics domain experience. - Data visualization & data science. - Front-end prototyping skills, and fluency talking code with engineers. WE OFFER - Frontier technology: work on the technologies that promises to fundamentally change how new therapeutics are created. - World-class people: work with world-renowned leaders in the AI x Biology ecosystem. - Velocity and ownership: we move incredibly fast and liberally distribute ownership, which means continuous learning and career growth opportunities are guaranteed. - Strong culture and mission: we foster a supportive culture that is mission-driven and high-energy. - Highly competitive compensation: we attract the best talent and compensate them accordingly.
