About Aqemia

Aqemia is a next-generation pharmatech reinventing drug discovery with quantum-inspired physics and generative AI.

Our mission: design innovative small-molecule drug candidates for dozens of critical diseases, faster and smarter, without relying on experimental data.

Unlike traditional approaches, Aqemia starts drug discovery purely in silico. By combining physics-based models with large language models trained on proprietary data, we identify promising molecules with high accuracy before synthesis.

We’ve already delivered multiple preclinical successes and secured strategic partnership. Our internal pipeline is growing fast, with several programs in in vivo optimization.

We’re a team of 65+ based in Paris and London, we bring together chemists, physicists, engineers, and machine learning experts to push the boundaries of what’s possible in early-stage drug discovery.

The Role

As a Senior ML Software Engineer in the DH Team, you will focus on building and scaling the platform-facing product that manages the full lifecycle of Aqemia’s predictive models, our core scientific assets.

You’ll scale and industrialize ML/deep learning models developed by research scientists, so they can be efficiently served to our Drug Hunter community.

You will play a critical role in the development, deployment, and maintenance of single predictors, ensuring they are robust, reproducible, and seamlessly integrated into the platform that drives our drug discovery engine.

This role is deeply technical and foundational to our platform’s performance, reliability, and scalability.
