Founding Engineer
About the role
Company Description
ReactWise is a seed-stage start-up located in San Francisco (USA) that offers powerful no-code software for optimizing chemical reactions. Using machine learning algorithms developed by the founders during their PhDs at the University of Cambridge, their software can significantly reduce process development time, bringing novel drugs to clinical trials much faster. Several chemical and pharmaceutical companies currently use our software. As an early-stage start-up, we offer the opportunity to build software at the cutting edge of machine learning and chemistry, with short iteration cycles and autonomy to shape the software development process.
