Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead a multidisciplinary team to build and scale an agentic drug discovery platform, balancing people management with high-leverage technical contributions. Responsibilities include defining product roadmaps, overseeing system architecture, and recruiting top engineering and scientific talent.
Requires a Bachelor's degree in a technical field and 5+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 2 years in leadership. Candidates must be capable of shipping production code while managing cross-functional teams and partnering with product and scientific stakeholders.
Genesis Molecular AI is building an agentic IDE for drug discovery—a platform that helps scientists explore, design, and optimize molecules with the assistance of cutting-edge AI.
Our Product Engineering Team sits at the intersection of software engineering, AI, and computational chemistry. The team includes frontend and backend software engineers, computational chemists, and product-minded technical contributors working together to create intuitive, powerful tools that accelerate scientific discovery.
We are looking for leaders who are excited about building exceptional products in a highly interdisciplinary environment. You will collaborate with world-class chemists, biologists, machine learning researchers, and engineers to create software that transforms how medicines are discovered.
As Engineering Manager of the Product Engineering Team, you will lead a multidisciplinary team responsible for building and scaling Genesis's agentic drug discovery platform. This is a leadership role that combines people management, technical leadership, product partnership, and hands-on contribution.
Unlike a traditional engineering management position, this role is intentionally structured to maintain significant individual technical impact. Approximately:
20% of your time will be dedicated to recruiting and organizational growth
20% to roadmap management and cross-functional planning
20% to people leadership and team development
40% to high-leverage individual contribution through architecture, technical strategy, system design, and shipping production code on critical initiatives
You will work closely with engineering, product, design, machine learning, and scientific stakeholders to define roadmaps, prioritize features, and deliver high-impact capabilities for our users. Success in this role requires balancing long-term platform investments with rapid product iteration, helping the team deliver exceptional user experiences while maintaining a scalable and reliable technical foundation.
Responsibilities
Technical Leadership & High-Leverage Individual Contribution (40%)
Provide technical leadership on system architecture, platform design, scalability, reliability, and engineering best practices.
Act as a hands-on technical leader, contributing directly through software development, architecture, design reviews, technical strategy, and critical engineering initiatives.
Write, review, and ship production code for high-impact features, platform capabilities, and foundational systems.
Drive delivery of user-facing features and platform capabilities that accelerate molecular design and drug discovery workflows.
Partner with machine learning and scientific teams to integrate advanced AI capabilities into product workflows.
Establish effective engineering processes that enable predictable delivery while maintaining flexibility in a fast-moving environment.
Ensure high standards for software quality, testing, observability, security, and operational excellence.
Lead complex technical investigations and help unblock the team on high-impact architectural and implementation challenges.
Partner with Product, Design, Machine Learning, and Scientific teams to define product strategy, roadmap priorities, and execution plans.
Drive prioritization and planning processes that align engineering investments with company objectives.
Communicate roadmap progress, technical strategy, risks, and business impact to stakeholders across the organization.
Collaborate with stakeholders to understand user needs and translate them into impactful product experiences.
Lead and develop a high-performing team of software engineers and computational chemists building Genesis's agentic drug discovery platform.
Create a collaborative, inclusive, and growth-oriented team culture focused on ownership, learning, and execution.
Own performance management, coaching, feedback, and career development for team members.
Facilitate technical decision-making and help the team navigate tradeoffs between speed, quality, maintainability, and business impact.
Recruit, onboard, and retain exceptional engineering and scientific talent.
Develop hiring strategies and partner with leadership to build a world-class Product Engineering organization.
Participate actively in sourcing, interviewing, and closing candidates.
Help shape team structure, organizational design, and growth plans.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Computational Chemistry, or a related technical field.
5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including at least 2+ years in an engineering leadership or people management role.
Experience leading cross-functional product engineering teams delivering customer-facing software products.
Strong technical background in modern software architecture, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and full-stack application development.
Demonstrated ability to remain technically hands-on, including writing and shipping production code, while managing and growing engineering teams.
Experience partnering closely with Product Management and Design to define roadmaps, prioritize features, and deliver impactful user experiences.
Demonstrated ability to balance technical excellence with pragmatic execution and business outcomes.
Experience hiring, mentoring, and developing engineers across different levels of seniority.
Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, product, machine learning, and scientific teams.
Ability to navigate ambiguity, make thoughtful tradeoffs, and drive alignment across diverse stakeholders.
Interest in applying technology to scientific discovery and willingness to learn the drug discovery domain.
Experience building developer tools, AI-powered products, agentic systems, scientific software, or technical productivity platforms.
Experience working with modern frontend frameworks, backend services, cloud-native architectures, and AI-enabled applications.
Experience collaborating with computational chemists, machine learning researchers, or scientific software teams.
Familiarity with drug discovery, molecular modeling, cheminformatics, computational chemistry, or related scientific domains.
Experience scaling engineering organizations, processes, and technical platforms through periods of rapid growth.
Track record of delivering complex products from concept through launch and adoption.
Experience serving as a technical lead or architect while simultaneously managing teams and organizational growth.

Genesis Molecular AI – headquartered in Burlingame, CA, with a fully integrated laboratory in San Diego and offices in New York – is pioneering foundation models for molecular AI to unlock a new era of drug design and development. We are using a proprietary state-of-the-art generative and predictive AI platform called GEMS (Genesis Exploration of Molecular Space), to accelerate and optimize small molecule drug discovery. The GEMS platform integrates AI and physics into industry-leading models to generate and optimize drug molecules, including the breakthrough generative diffusion model Pearl for structure prediction. GEMS accelerates hit ID through lead optimization and candidate selection by generating promising molecules for synthesis and experimental testing, and iterating this process through cycles of AI-enabled discovery and optimization. We have leveraged GEMS to build an internal pipeline with multiple programs against high-value targets, including data-poor and canonically undruggable targets where GEMS is uniquely advantaged. In addition, Genesis has signed AI platform collaborations across a range of therapeutic areas including Gilead (2024), and Incyte (2025). Genesis has raised over $300M in funding from top AI, technology and biotech investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Rock Springs Capital, T.
