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 Software Engineer in the team building our product, you will support the daily activities of scientists (physics, ML, deep learning) who produce predictors and prediction flows.

You’ll build the engine that enables large-scale computing and seamless data transformation.

Working closely with scientists and engineers, you’ll bring automation, scalability, and reliability to one of the most critical layers of our platform, where predictions turn into decisions.

This role combines backend development, system design, and scientific tooling in a fast-paced and collaborative environment.
