We are a VC-backed startup building AI tools that transform how chemists work - funded by Blackbird, Airtree, and Scott Farquhar's Skip Capital. We're early but moving fast, with strong traction and a clear path to scale.

We are building Chemical Intelligence. Chemistry touches nearly every aspect of our lives and the problem we're trying to solve has significant scope and magnitude and will directly affect people's lives for the better if we're successful. We are doing something that has never been done before - operating at a unique intersection of the physical and digital world.

Why? Because we believe Chemical Intelligence is the key to a better future.

From enhancing existing products to making new ones. Aiding good hygiene to addressing world hunger. Protecting our homes against the elements to protecting the sovereignty of nations.

What you'll get

• Builder culture. You'll have high agency and make product decisions constantly. In the age of AI, taste and judgment are the most valuable skills an engineer can have — we want people who already think this way and want to sharpen it further.
• Competitive pay. Benchmarked to scale-up comp, plus a meaningful equity stake. You're an owner.
• On the technical frontier. We're figuring out what AI-first software looks like for an industry that's never had modern tooling. The problems are genuinely hard: the UI/UX, data models, and agent capabilities for this space don't exist yet. You're not re-implementing something that already works elsewhere — you're inventing it.
• Remote-first, AEST-anchored. We're distributed, but our core collaboration hours are Sydney time. We'll host you in Sydney for onboarding so you can meet the team in person.
• No-nonsense recruitment. Informal chats with the founders and a technical conversation with the team. No LeetCode, no take-home busywork — we want to see how you actually think and build.

We're hiring a Full Stack Engineer to work directly with founders and a small team of engineers. You'll own real product work end-to-end — not tickets off a backlog, but entire surfaces of the product from the first whiteboard sketch to customers using it in production. This is a rare opportunity to do the most interesting work of your career: applying AI to a domain that touches every aspect of life.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship great products fast — days and weeks, not months and quarters
• Work across the full stack, from Postgres schemas to React components to the AI layer in between
• Turn messy, ambiguous requirements (sometimes literally chemical spec sheets) into clear, buildable systems
• Keep the bar high on code quality, testing, and reliability — we're building software enterprises will run their business on
• Drive timelines and keep things moving, including pushing back when scope is wrong
