Genesis Molecular AI

Role Description Genesis Molecular AI's legal team is small by design and central to the company’s success. As the second attorney in the department, you will work directly alongside the Head of Legal on the full range of matters that keep a growth-stage, venture-backed company running, from building the IP portfolio that protects our core platform and drug discovery programs to negotiating the commercial agreements that fuel our growth. At a company like Genesis, where the work spans cutting-edge AI, computational chemistry, and drug development, legal is not a back-office function. You will be embedded with the research, engineering, and business teams, engaging on strategic questions early and often. The legal team operates with the same values as the rest of Genesis: interdisciplinary curiosity, ownership, and a bias toward impact. You will have real responsibility from day one, a direct line to leadership, and the opportunity to help shape the legal foundation of a company doing genuinely important work. About The Role: We are looking for an Intellectual Property (IP) Counsel to join our growing legal team as our second in-house attorney. Your primary responsibilities will be to build and protect Genesis's intellectual property portfolio, which spans our AI platform, foundation models, and small molecular drug discovery programs. - Develop our patenting strategy, leading patent harvesting sessions with inventors. - Help draft claims and work with outside counsel to file and prosecute applications. - Grow in other legal areas, including reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts. - Provide advice on a variety of operational matters and regulatory compliance issues. This role, which reports directly to our Head of Legal, is perfect for an early to mid-level IP attorney who thrives in a fast-moving, high-impact environment and is energized by the breadth that comes with being part of a lean legal team at a growth-stage company. We care more about you and your ability to learn and grow than any specific substantive experience or which boxes you check. Qualifications - J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school and admission to practice law in at least one U.S. state. - U.S. Patent bar admission. - 5+ years of legal experience with a meaningful focus on intellectual property at a law firm, in-house, or a combination of both. - Experience drafting patent claims and managing patent prosecution. - Background in biology, chemistry, engineering, computer science, or related scientific discipline. - Strong written and verbal communication skills. Requirements - Comfort operating in ambiguity and wearing multiple hats. - Strong interest in taking on additional responsibilities, including negotiating and drafting commercial contracts. - Ability to translate complex legal and technical concepts for non-lawyer stakeholders. Nice To Haves - In-house experience at a high-growth or startup biotech or AI company. - Interest in AI tools and AI-specific IP considerations. - Familiarity with research collaboration and pharma partnering agreements. - Experience building or managing a patent portfolio at a comparable company. Benefits - Competitive compensation package that includes salary and equity. - Comprehensive health benefits: Medical, Dental, and Vision (covered 100% for the employees). - 401(k) plan. - Open (unlimited) PTO policy. - Free lunches and dinners at our offices. - Paid family leave (maternity and paternity). - Life and long- and short-term disability insurance.
