Neural analysis suggests this role is
optimal for Mid+ candidates.
“AI Scientist - Entrepreneur in Residence at Molecule. Skills: AI Scientist, LLMs, agent frameworks, wet-science domain. Architect and deploy fleets of scientific agents spanning literature mining, target identification, molecular design, assay design, and data analysis. Pilot each fleet against a specific disease area and drive it to a tangible deliverable — a validated target, a candidate molecule, a novel dataset, an IP-NFT”
What You'll Achieve.
ship your first autonomous agent fleet into production against a real disease area; generate scientific output that moves IP forward; prove that autonomous science works at the bench-to-IP level; scale: more fleets, more disease areas, more shots on goal; drive it to a tangible deliverable — a validated target, a candidate molecule, a novel dataset, an IP-NFT
Industry & Context.
live on-site, embedded with the founding team, and ship your first autonomous agent fleet into production against a real disease area, Willing to live on-site for 4 weeks
What They're Looking For.
Must Have
Technically deep across LLMs, agent frameworks, and at least one wet-science domain - chemistry, biology, pharma, structural biology, or genomics, Entrepreneurial to the core, All-in on intensity. Willing to live on-site for 4 weeks and operate at founder pace
Nice to Have
If you hold a degree, it should be from a top-tier institution (Oxbridge, Ivy League, MIT, Caltech, Stanford, ETH/EPFL, Imperial, or equivalent). If you skipped the degree, show us what you built instead.
What You'll Do.
Architect and deploy fleets of scientific agents spanning literature mining
target identification
Pilot each fleet against a specific disease area and drive it to a tangible deliverable — a validated target
Run multiple fleets in parallel across disease areas
reporting results directly to the CEO
Own the full stack: agent design

Full Job Description
Molecule and BIO.xyz are building the foundation of Decentralized Science (DeSci) — where biotech meets web3 to make scientific research community-owned, transparent, and faster to market. Molecule provides the infrastructure to turn intellectual property (IP) into programmable, on-chain assets through our IP-NFT framework and evolving protocol stack. This enables researchers, patients, and communities to fund and govern biotech projects in new, open ways. BIO.xyz http://Bio.xyz is the coordination and economic layer of DeSci, powering BioDAOs through funding, governance, and ecosystem alignment. Together, we are creating a new model for scientific discovery — one where breakthroughs are owned and advanced by the communities that believe in them. THE ROLE You will be an AI Scientist at Molecule. In your first four weeks, you will live on-site, embedded with the founding team, and ship your first autonomous agent fleet into production against a real disease area. From day one you own the loop: design the agents, deploy them, pilot them, iterate, and generate scientific output that moves IP forward. This is not a research role with a roadmap handed to you. You will pick targets, stand up infrastructure, recruit your sub-agents, and prove that autonomous science works at the bench-to-IP level. After the residency, you scale: more fleets, more disease areas, more shots on goal. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Architect and deploy fleets of scientific agents spanning literature mining, target identification, molecular design, assay design, and data analysis - Pilot each fleet against a specific disease area and drive it to a tangible deliverable — a validated target, a candidate molecule, a novel dataset, an IP-NFT - Run multiple fleets in parallel across disease areas, reporting results directly to the CEO - Own the full stack: agent design, orchestration, evaluation, and scientific judgment on outputs - Define and set the standard for how autonomous science gets done at Molecule WHO
