Company / careers

Build at the interface of AI, chemistry and validation.

We are interested in people who want to work on real scientific problems across computational design, laboratory execution and translational decision-making. This page covers a small number of concrete entry routes rather than a long catalogue of loosely defined positions.

Open rolesCurrently limited and selective
Student routesInternships and thesis projects
Core fitScientific depth plus execution
Early-career scientists and mentors in a collaborative biotech environment
Learning happens close to the real workflowComputation, experimentation and scientific decision-making should not be isolated from one another.

Current status

Fewer positions. Clearer fit.

We do not keep a long permanent list of generic openings. If a specific professional role is open, it appears here. In parallel, we remain interested in strong internship and thesis candidates aligned with our scientific directions.

Open professional role

There is no public high-volume hiring campaign at the moment. We may however consider targeted conversations with exceptional candidates in computational chemistry, AI for drug discovery or automation-aware experimental workflows.

  • Send a concise, non-confidential profile summary.
  • Show concrete evidence of prior work.
  • Explain where you fit in the SoftMining system.

Internship & thesis routes

For students and early-career researchers, we prefer a small set of strong thematic tracks rather than a very long menu of highly granular proposals.

  • Internships can be exploratory, applied or technical.
  • Thesis projects can connect company work and the proper academic setting.
  • We are especially interested in candidates who can work across boundaries.

Selected tracks

Five meaningful entry points.

These tracks condense the much longer legacy list into a more usable set of directions. They are intended to describe families of opportunities, not rigid job labels.

Track 01

Molecular discovery

Target-focused small-molecule discovery, structure-based reasoning, ligand optimisation and translational scientific framing.

Track 02

AI & chemoinformatics

Data curation, predictive modelling, molecular representation, ranking logic and evidence-aware computational workflows.

Track 03

Automated chemistry

Miniaturised synthesis, robotic execution, reaction monitoring and the physical loop connected to ADAPT and SYNTHEX.

Track 04

Experimental validation

Assays, characterisation, wet-lab support and the structured return of machine-readable evidence into the discovery cycle.

Track 05

Innovation & funding

A more hybrid route for candidates interested in scientific entrepreneurship, grants, partnerships and market interfaces.

Fit signal

What we value most

Evidence of curiosity, execution, scientific seriousness and the ability to connect more than one layer of the workflow.

How to apply

Be specific, brief and evidence-based.

Tell us who you are, what you can already do and what you want to learn or build. If there is a fit, we can continue with the appropriate people.
