Head of AI

• Build and lead the AI platform from scratchfor:

  • virtual generation of novel biocompatible magnetic nanoparticles

  • synthesis guidance and optimization

  • prediction of biological and physical properties

  • Integrate experimental data into model fine-tuning loops (CRO + in-house)

  • Partner with leading AI companies to accelerate and enhance our biotech development

  • Drive creation of new IP through AI-generated materials, compositions, and model frameworks

  • Partner closely with R&D to translate AI outputs into real-world synthesis and validation

  • Establish a scalable pipeline:

    • generate → prioritize → synthesize → test → learn → iterate

    • Lead transition from outsourced validation (CROs) to partially in-house AI-guided experimentation

    • Define and implement data infrastructure, datasets, and feedback loops

    • Build toward full-stack automation of discovery (early stage)

    • Hire and lead a high-performance AI / ML team over time

Must-have experience

• 8+ years in AI / ML, with strong focus on applied scientific or deep-tech problems

• Experience building and deploying ML models in:

  • materials science, chemistry, biology, or physics (preferred)

  • or other complex, data-sparse domains

  • Proven track record of:

    • turning models into real-world outcomes

    • working with experimental or noisy datasets

    • Strong experience with:

      • generative models / optimization systems

      • simulation-informed ML or hybrid modeling approaches

      • data pipelines and iterative learning systems

      • Ability to work closely with experimental scientific teams

      • Experience leading or mentoring technical teams

      
      Strong plus

      • Background in:

        • materials discovery / computational chemistry

        • nanoparticle research

        • bio/chem ML or physics-informed ML

        • Experience building AI platforms (not just models)

        • Startup or zero-to-one environment experience

        • IP generation/patent exposure
