Operations & Strategy Intern

Helical is powering the in-silico labs for biology. Drug discovery still runs in wet labs: slow, expensive, and locked in physical trial-and-error.

We’re changing that. Our platform makes Bio Foundation Models directly usable for discovery, enabling pharma teams to run millions of virtual experiments in days, not years.

That means you have a rare opportunity to help define how the next generation of drugs will be discovered. Today, leading pharma companies across the globe already use Helical. And we’re just getting started.

We’re a talent-dense team building a generation-defining company from Europe. We seek people who care deeply, ship fast, and want their work to change how medicine is made.

Join us on this journey as part of our founding team, you’ll help shape the in-silico labs of tomorrow.
