Synthetic Chemist

Enveda

2d • $125,000 - $135,000 • Onsite

About The Position

Let’s build the future of medicine - together. Join Enveda as a Synthetic Chemist in Boulder, CO and help us transform natural compounds into life-changing medicines. We’re a team driven by curiosity and innovation - are you ready to make a difference? At Enveda, every role drives impact. As a Synthetic Chemist on our Differential Platform Team, you’ll be at the forefront of discovery in metabolomics. Your expertise in small molecule synthesis, particularly within human-relevant chemical space, will be critical in accelerating our mission to identify unknown metabolites at scale.

Requirements

• A PhD in synthetic organic chemistry with 2+ years of hands-on experience in small molecule synthesis design, execution, and analysis
• Someone energized by variety - comfortable pivoting between compound classes, adapting routes on the fly, and working across dozens of distinct scaffolds rather than a single total synthesis campaign
• A chemist who genuinely enjoys working at the boundary of computation and synthesis, and who sees data-driven target selection as an opportunity rather than a constraint
• Experience with library synthesis, diversity-oriented synthesis, or high-throughput chemistry in either an academic or industry setting, with a track record of delivering compounds on a timeline

Nice To Haves

• Experience with mass spectrometry and LC-MS is a plus

Responsibilities

• Lead small molecule synthesis efforts
• Design and execute efficient synthetic routes to access structurally diverse libraries of metabolites, including under-explored compound classes
• Develop and scale parallel synthesis workflows that enable rapid production of metabolite analogs for biological and analytical validation
• Translate computationally predicted molecular structures into confirmed, fully characterized compounds, closing the loop between data science and wet-lab chemistry
• Establish best practices for synthesis prioritization, route scouting, and library design that allow the team to move quickly through large numbers of targets

Benefits

• 90% Medical, Dental, Vision
• 401k Match
• Flexible PTO
• Adoption Assistance
