13d•Remote

About The Position

Deep Origin is a biotechnology company building an operating system for science that transforms how life science research is conducted. Our AI-powered platforms simulate biology, streamline R&D workflows, and enable scientists to model complex biological systems at scale. As part of strategic government-backed initiatives and the expansion of our AI-driven simulation infrastructure, we are scaling our capabilities in whole-human modeling and predictive toxicology. We are seeking a Computational ADMET Scientist with deep expertise in drug metabolism to design and build predictive systems for Phase I and Phase II metabolic pathways. Your work will directly contribute to the development of AI-driven tools that predict metabolic routes, enzyme/isoform involvement, sites of metabolism, regioselectivity, and metabolite toxicity—helping accelerate safe and effective drug design. This position calls for a creative scientist who thrives at the intersection of data mining, statistical and kinetic modeling, as well as cheminformatics, machine learning, and computational chemistry. Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time. The applicant must be comfortable working fully remote.

Requirements

PhD (0-2 years) or MS (2-5 years) of relevant experience in Cheminformatics, Bioinformatics, Systems Biology, Computational Chemistry, or related field.
Strong coding skills in Python (additional languages a plus).
Demonstrated ability to develop atom-level models.
Clear track record in machine learning for molecular modeling, with at least one demonstrated experience in the prediction of physicochemical properties, reactivity, metabolism, or other relevant structure–activity relationships.
Hands-on experience with cheminformatics and ML libraries such as RDKit, CDK, PyTorch, TensorFlow, ChemProp.
Ability to critically analyze data and translate findings into actionable predictions and computational models.
Collaborative mindset, comfortable working in both autonomous and team-based settings.
Adaptability to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
Previous remote experience.

Nice To Haves
