Vilya is a computational biotechnology company creating a novel class of medicines to precisely target disease biology. We believe computational approaches are an integral, if not foundational, component of drug discovery and development. Our platform is built on ground-breaking research in advanced computational approaches and taps into uncharted chemical space to design new molecular structures not found in nature.
We are harnessing the power of our platform to go after previously impossible targets in an array of indications. Vilya’s ultimate goal is to solve some of the most challenging unmet medical needs that exist today.
Our Vision: Harness a revolution in technology and biology to better human health
Our Mission: Build an independent, leading biotech company founded on intelligent drug design to cure the incurable
We think from atoms to bits – and everywhere in between; now, we are seeking a highly-motivated, creative, and knowledgeable Machine Learning Engineer to help us build a highly-scalable computational drug discovery platform.
Vilya is a team-first organization, and we believe onsite work is essential to how we collaborate, move quickly, and build a strong culture. This is an onsite position in our Seattle office. Join us and help make a difference for patients!
