R&D Innovation Internship

DeepOrigin builds a platform that combines cutting-edge ideas from AI, scientific computing and quantum chemistry to accelerate the drug discovery process many-fold. Our aim is to reduce the timescale of drug discovery projects from years to months.

We’re looking for curious, motivated, and technically strong interns to join our Research & Development team. If you’re passionate about solving challenging scientific and engineering problems and eager to learn from experienced researchers and engineers, we’d love to hear from you.

🔧 Role Overview

As an R&D Intern, you’ll collaborate with fellow interns and full-time team members to design, develop, and deliver innovative solutions for real-world drug discovery challenges.

🌱 Learning & Mentorship

We believe internships should be more about learning than they are about contributing. During your time with us, you’ll have access to:

• Weekly seminars and tech talks led by engineers and researchers across the company.
• Dedicated mentorship , with co-workers available to support your development, answer technical questions, and help you navigate challenges.
• Code reviews and feedback loops that foster engineering best practices and personal growth.
• Hands-on experience working on real product and research projects.

🤝 What You’ll Gain

• Deep knowledge of machine learning, mathematical modeling and software engineering
• Real-world experience solving problems that matter.
• A strong sense of ownership and the chance to leave a tangible impact.
• The possibility of co-authoring scientific papers published in leading scientific journals.
• The opportunity to receive a full-time offer upon successful completion of the internship.

🧠 You Might Be a Good Fit If You...

• Are currently in your third year or later of a Bachelor’s program (or pursuing a Master’s degree) in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or a related field.
• Have strong problem-solving skills.
• Have a solid command of English.
• Have experience with at least one programming language relevant to our tech stack (e.g. Python, C++, Julia, etc.).
• Are excited about building solutions that make a real impact.
