Superluminal Medicines
ML-driven design of candidate small molecules
About Superluminal Medicines:
Superluminal Medicines is a generative biology and chemistry company revolutionizing the speed and accuracy of how small molecule medicines are created. The Company’s platform aims to create candidate-ready compounds with unprecedented speed using a combination of deep biology, computational and medicinal chemistry, machine learning, and proprietary big data infrastructure. We are expanding the team of talented scientists who seek to build the future of small molecule drug discovery with creativity and innovation.
About the Role
We are seeking a Staff Engineer to design and build the software systems that power how experimental data moves through Superluminal Medicines. You will own critical systems at the intersection of software engineering, scientific data, and research operations, including compound registration, experimental data ingestion, scientific system integrations, and the infrastructure that connects wet lab workflows to our broader data platform.
This is a high-ownership engineering role. You will be expected to design production systems, make architectural decisions, write high-quality software, and work directly with scientists to solve complex technical problems. The ideal candidate is a strong software engineer who is excited by difficult integration challenges, evolving requirements, and the opportunity to build foundational systems in a modern drug discovery organization.
Pay Range
$191,425 - $219,240
The annual base salary range listed above represents the lowest and highest amounts we reasonably and in good faith expect to pay for this position at the time of posting.

ML-driven design of candidate small molecules
Superluminal Medicines develops small-molecule drug discovery solutions by combining deep biology, chemistry, and machine learning. It creates candidate-ready compounds with high speed and accuracy, using a proprietary big data platform and predictive design models to model protein shapes and design selective compounds that induce precise structural changes for therapeutic effects. The company collaborates with pharmaceutical and biotech firms, licensing its technology and pursuing milestone-based payments, rather than selling products outright. This partnership-centric model helps clients accelerate their drug discovery programs in a highly competitive market. The company aims to shorten the path from target to clinical candidate by delivering well-characterized, selective small molecules efficiently.
