Analysis review scientist – NMR & UPLC-MS interpretation About Chemify

Chemify is creating a future where important molecules, drugs and currently unimaginable new materials are instantly accessible; thereby radically increasing the speed of innovation, quality of life, and reach of humanity. The company is building the infrastructure to digitize chemistry for the design, discovery and synthesis of new molecules with the desired function and properties instantly and on-demand. Chemify has built a platform that combines purpose-built programming languages, robotics, AI, and the world’s largest and continuously growing database of chemical programs to accelerate chemical discovery to new, transformative heights.

Chemify is supported by some of the best investors from Silicon Valley and across the world, including Triatomic Capital, Blue Yard Ventures, DCVC, Founders Fund, and others.

You’ll join our analysis review team interpreting 1H-NMR and UPLC-MS data generated by our automated synthesis platform, playing a direct and critical role in keeping our chemistry pipeline moving. You’ll also get exposure to a wide variety of organic chemistry reactions passing through the platform — genuinely interesting territory if you enjoy the puzzle of structure elucidation. This is an entry point into the synthetic chemistry industry, with full training provided.

Working a shift pattern that includes evenings and weekends, you’ll also earn a competitive uplift for unsocial hours on top of your base salary.

As our Analysis Review Scientist, you will review and interpret 1H-NMR and UPLC-MS data produced by our automated chemistry platform, confirming that reactions and purifications have produced the expected outcome, flagging anomalies for further investigation, and generating high-quality reports. This is a computer-based role, working with digital spectra and data files rather than at the bench. The role follows a structured, repeatable process across a high volume of samples each shift, and forms part of a rota that includes evenings and weekends to keep pace with round-the-clock synthesis.

We’re looking for an entry-level scientist – ideal for a recent chemistry graduate or someone early in their career – who is comfortable with focused, detail-oriented work performed to a consistent standard. You’ll have a working knowledge of 1H-NMR and mass spectrometry from your studies or lab experience, a methodical approach to spotting when something doesn’t match expectations, and the flexibility to work a rota that includes evenings and weekends.

Strong communication matters too: you’ll work closely with our synthesis program manager team on interpreting outcomes, and may occasionally liaise with the operations team when troubleshooting instrument or pipeline issues.

• Data interpretation:
  Review 1H-NMR spectra and UPLC-MS traces against expected reaction and purification outcomes, confirming success or diagnosing likely products and where a reaction may have gone wrong, to help inform future runs.
• Volume and turnaround:
  Process a high throughput of samples each shift to keep pace with the automated synthesis platform, maintaining consistent accuracy and speed.
• Shift coverage:
  Work a rota that includes evenings and weekends, providing near-continuous data turnaround for the chemistry team.
• Escalation:
  Flag ambiguous or unexpected spectra to senior scientists for further review, and report issues with the software platform or automated processing and verification steps.
• Record keeping:
  Maintain accurate, consistent records of interpretations and decisions in line with SOPs.
• Quality and compliance:
  Follow SOPs and quality procedures for data review…
