Careers at Vilya
Work with us
Design the future of medicine
We're building therapeutics from first principles — and we're looking for bold thinkers across science, computation, and biotech to help us lead the way.
Curious. Precise. Collaborative.
Vilya brings together experts from diverse disciplines to rethink what drug design can be. We're science-led, human-centered, and mission-driven.
Science-led
Our work is grounded in experimental rigor and world-class research. Every design decision starts with data, every hypothesis gets tested, and every breakthrough builds on solid scientific foundations.
Computational-first
We believe computation isn't a support function — it's the design engine. Our platform generates novel molecular structures and predicts their behavior with atomic precision.
Mission-driven
We're here to push boundaries and deliver meaningful new medicines. The patients who need breakthrough therapies guide our work and drive our commitment to rigorous science.
Collaborative by design
Breakthroughs happen at the intersections. When computational biologists work alongside medicinal chemists, when AI researchers collaborate with structural biologists — that's where we discover what's possible.
A place to do your life's work
We're not just assembling a team — we're building a new way to create medicine.
Work alongside scientific leaders
… and industry veterans. Learn from the pioneers who developed the computational methods reshaping drug discovery. Our founders come from David Baker's Nobel Prize-winning lab, and our team includes veterans from leading biotech companies.
Long-term vision
… backed by strong institutional support. This isn't a sprint toward quick results. We're building something that will transform how medicines are designed for decades to come, with funding and support that reflects that ambition
Competitive salary
… equity, and benefits. We believe great science deserves great compensation. Our packages reflect both the value you bring and the value we're creating together.
Onsite
… in Seattle and San Francisco with flexibility for select roles. Science happens best when we're together — whether that's debugging a synthesis protocol or celebrating a breakthrough. For certain roles, we offer flexibility while maintaining strong collaborative connections.
Rare opportunity
… to help define a new therapeutic modality. Most careers involve optimizing existing approaches. Here, you'll help create entirely new categories of medicines that don't exist yet.
Where Purpose Meets Progress
Join our mission
We're hiring across biology, chemistry, computation, operations, and more.
