About Satomic
Satomic’s mission is to close the gap from idea to molecule with faster navigation of chemical space. We are building an automated chemistry platform that integrates laboratory robotics, software, and AI to transform small‑molecule synthesis and drug discovery. As an early‑stage startup, we are not only building the technology but also the playbooks, partnerships, and culture that will shape a new paradigm for drug discovery and chemistry lding an enduring company requires both world‑class execution and the courage to chart a course through uncertainty in these early days.
About the Role
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Analytical Chemist to join our team developing next‑generation automated chemistry workflows, with an emphasis in chromatography, mass spectrometry and other purification instrumentation. This role is critical to Satomic’s mission by innovating to accelerate purification and analysis bottlenecks that slow down access to novel chemistries for navigation of chemical space in a tangible way.
