Scientists design and synthesize molecules that they predict will be potent, safe, and readily absorbed into the body, but this typically requires years of iteration in the lab and millions of dollars to develop a molecule that is ready for testing in human.\nAt Inductive, we're building the AI and machine learning tools to radically accelerate this process. Our state-of-the-art predictive models and medicinal chemistry agents identify the right compounds to make at the right time, while our AI-integrated lab shortens the time to synthesize and test them. Our ADMET/PK models have placed first in the world’s largest AI drug discovery competition for ADMET benchmarks three consecutive times, and our technology is already being applied across dozens of biopharma partnerships.\nBacked by leading technology and biotechnology investors including a16z, Lux, S32, and Obvious, our team brings together world-class expertise in machine learning and drug discovery.\nWe are seeking a Member of Technical Staff, Machine Learning to join our talented, ambitious, and kind team. You’ll innovate on ML methods, work closely with leading drug discovery scientists, and see your work applied directly to real drug programs. You’ll have significant ownership, impact, and opportunity to grow with the company.\nWhat you’ll do:\nDevelop machine learning models to predict molecular properties from chemical structures\n\nDevelop novel algorithms for generate and prioritize molecules for synthesis\n\nBuild agents that can analyze complex information from drug programs and apply that information strategically toward molecular optimization\n\nGet your hands dirty by diving deep into our unique, proprietary dataset to iterate on modeling ideas and improve model performance\n\nCollaborate closely with chemists and software engineers to integrate models into our software platform, which is used by drug discovery scientists across the industry\n\nBuild and optimize scalable infrastructure for model training, deployment, and monitoring\n\nEngage directly with our scientific users, incorporating their feedback into the product\n\nContribute meaningfully to product strategy and company direction\n\nWho you are:\nYou have 4+ years of experience as a Machine Learning Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, or similar role\n\nYou have a strong scientific background, ideally with a PhD in chemistry, biology, physics, or a related field\n\nYou have expertise in machine learning fundamentals, deep learning architectures, and evaluation approaches\n\nYou are proficient in standard Python-based ML frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow)\n\nYou are comfortable writing high-quality, reusable code and productionizing models for serving in the cloud\n\nYou are excited to dive deep into the science and practice of drug discovery\n\nYou have exceptional written and oral communication skills\n\nPreferred experience:\nYou have graduate-level knowledge of cell / molecular biology or biochemistry, and experience collaborating with wet lab scientists\n\nExperience with omics modeling (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc)\n\nExperience with high-content screening and signal processing from microscopy data\n\nWorking at Inductive\nAt Inductive Bio, we know that the people on the team are what make us great. We offer competitive salary and equity-based compensation; comprehensive healthcare benefits (including dental and vision); and the opportunity to grow along with a rapidly scaling company. We are a passionate, kind, and mature team. Working at a fast growing startup is not always a 9-5 job, but we believe that our employees should have full lives beyond their career.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3759,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Machine Learning","Drug Discovery AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-14T06:05:23Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":53,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.706,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":35,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:2","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/inductive-bio-mts-machine-learning","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/inductive-bio-mts-machine-learning.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T01:41:27Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2802,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":63169},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=63169"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Finductive-bio-mts-machine-learning"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Finductive-bio-mts-machine-learning"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Finductive-bio-mts-machine-learning"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/inductive-bio-mts-machine-learning\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Finductive-bio-mts-machine-learning"}]}
