About AQEMIA
AQEMIA is a drug invention company dedicated to creating entirely new medicines to address major unmet medical needs. At the core of our mission is QEMI, our proprietary molecule-invention platform, which uniquely combines cutting-edge science with advanced technology. Powered by physics-based modeling, statistical mechanics, and generative AI, QEMI allows our teams to design novel drug candidates from first principles.
What makes AQEMIA different is our commitment to true innovation: our research is dedicated to the invention of new molecular entities, not the refinement of existing ones. We focus on inventing never-before-seen molecules, without relying on experimental data, and advancing them into a growing pipeline of proprietary programs and strategic partnerships with leading pharmaceutical companies.
Our most advanced preclinical programs are currently in vivo optimization, targeting diseases still waiting for effective treatments, offering our teams the opportunity to work on science that can make a real difference in people’s lives.

About our Team
AQEMIA brings together a diverse, multidisciplinary team of 65+ professionals based in Paris and London. Our scientists and engineers, including chemists, physicists, machine learning experts, and software engineers, work side by side to push the boundaries of early-stage drug discovery.
This close collaboration across disciplines is central to our approach, enabling us to tackle complex scientific challenges from first principles and translate cutting-edge ideas into novel therapeutic candidates. At AQEMIA, team members are encouraged to contribute their expertise, learn from one another, and play an active role in shaping the future of drug invention.
About This Role
We’re looking for a Talent Operations & Sourcing Associate to become the operational backbone of our Talent function. You’ll work closely with our Senior Talent Partner to keep searches running smoothly, pipelines clean, candidates engaged, and the team organised.
This is a role for someone who loves structure, thrives in fast‑moving environments, and gets energy from making things work better. You’ll have real ownership, real impact, and a front‑row seat to how hiring happens inside a deep‑tech scale‑up.
You won’t be “just supporting” - you’ll be the person who keeps the engine running.
Why This Role Matters
You’ll be the person who ensures candidates feel cared for, hiring managers feel supported, and the Talent team can operate at its best. Your work will directly influence how fast we can grow and how strong our teams become.
This isn’t a background role — it’s a force‑multiplier role.
