The Opportunity:

Chemical space: The Final Frontier

We’re looking for a Research Software Engineer to join us on the voyages of the Dynamo platform. Our mission is to explore the strange parts of chemistry, to seek out new R-groups and new NaNs, to integrate experimentation with computation, and to boldly go where no mol has gone before

Your Role:

Help us improve and build upon our computational platform to advance our drug discovery programs.
Design and implement pragmatic algorithms, paying attention to details when they matter (and ignoring details when they don’t matter).
Contribute and write code in a collaborative environment, conducting code reviews, and writing high quality unit tests.
Work alongside individuals who are experts in their respective fields and learn from them.

Your Background:

You have an advanced degree in applied mathematics, chemical physics, computer science, and/or computational chemistry
You are fluent in scientific Python (numpy/scipy/etc), C++, and/or CUDA programming
Familiarity with numerical methods, molecular dynamics, free energy methods, statistical mechanics, forcefields, and/or machine learning.
Demonstrated a strong track record of executing and completing projects in a timely manner
Some familiarity with cloud infrastructure is preferred, but not required

About Relay Therapeutics

Relay Therapeutics is a clinical-stage precision medicines company transforming the drug discovery process with the goal of bringing life-changing therapies to patients. Built on unparalleled insights into protein motion and how this dynamic behavior relates to protein function, we aim to effectively drug protein targets that have previously been intractable, with an initial focus on enhancing small molecule therapeutic discovery in targeted oncology. Our Dynamo platform integrates an array of leading-edge experimental and computational approaches to provide a differentiated understanding of protein structure and motion to drug these targets. We have built a world-class team of leading experts from each of these disciplines, and they are driven by a deep collaboration at every step of our drug discovery process.

Our team is equal parts fearless and relentless, with a shared passion for working collaboratively in intellectually stimulating environments. If you’re excited by the challenge of putting protein motion at the heart of drug discovery and passionate about making a difference in the lives of patients, join us!
