As part of the Computational and Data Sciences (CDS) team, the candidate will help drive hit validation and advance programs through hit‑to‑lead by using our unique chemical datasets and integrated wet‑lab + computational technologies. A hallmark of this role is the close, day‑to‑day partnership with our medicinal chemistry, biology, and ML teams. MoDe scientists work hand‑in‑hand with wet‑lab colleagues throughout each design–make–test cycle, ensuring fast experimental feedback, shared problem‑solving, and seamless connection between computational design and laboratory execution. Crucial for this execution is collaboration with machine learning and data science teams in CDS. </span></p><p style="font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:4px 0px;padding:0px;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;white-space:pre-wrap;">The core responsibilities of this position are: </span></p><ul data-pattern="discCircleSquare" data-depth="1" style="font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;margin:8px 0px;line-height:1.6;padding:0px 0px 0px 32px;list-style-type:disc;"><li style="font-size:10pt;margin:3px 0px;letter-spacing:0.25px;line-height:1.6;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;white-space:pre-wrap;">Design small molecules with in-house, high-throughput computational tools using both structural models and ligand-based data from our proprietary screening platform</span></li><li style="font-size:10pt;margin:3px 0px;letter-spacing:0.25px;line-height:1.6;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;white-space:pre-wrap;">Lead chemistry efforts for multiple internal pipeline and partnered projects with ownership and clear communication of design strategies</span></li><li style="font-size:10pt;margin:3px 0px;letter-spacing:0.25px;line-height:1.6;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;white-space:pre-wrap;">Manage external synthetic chemistry team(s) to effectively prioritize work to reach project goals</span></li><li style="font-size:10pt;margin:3px 0px;letter-spacing:0.25px;line-height:1.6;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;white-space:pre-wrap;">Utilize Terray chemical technologies to design focus libraries to drive small molecule programs toward lead optimization</span></li><li style="font-size:10pt;margin:3px 0px;letter-spacing:0.25px;line-height:1.6;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;white-space:pre-wrap;">Collaborate on development and evaluation of models and generative tools for compound design with the machine learning team</span></li><li style="font-size:10pt;margin:3px 0px;letter-spacing:0.25px;line-height:1.6;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;white-space:pre-wrap;">Communicate molecular design strategy and outcomes to teams across the company</span></li></ul><p style="font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:4px 0px;padding:0px;text-align:left;"><br></p><p style="font-family:"Basel Grotesk",Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:1.6;letter-spacing:0.25px;margin:4px 0px;padding:0px;text-align:left;"><b><strong style="font-size:10pt;white-space:pre-wrap;">Experience and Qualifications: </strong></b><span style="font-size:10pt;white-space:pre-wrap;">Part of Terray’s success is nurtured by a hands-on work environment where everyone is accountable, vested in a vision of excellence, and actively taking part in the success of the business.
