About the role
ABOUT TAMARIND BIO
We enable any scientist to access AI-powered drug discovery. Thousands of scientists from large pharma companies, top biotechs, and academic institutions use Tamarind to design protein drugs, improve industrial enzymes, and create cutting edge molecules that weren’t feasible until now.
New AI models are quickly eclipsing physics-based tools in computational drug discovery. Scientists often struggle to fine-tune, deploy, and scale these models, leaving breakthroughs on the table. Tamarind provides a simple interface to the vast array of tools being released daily.
FORWARD DEPLOYED ENGINEER
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer — one of the highest-leverage roles on the team.
