Scientist I, Proteomics

Company Overview:

Vividion is a next generation biotechnology company based in San Diego that is leveraging its proprietary chemical proteomics platform to conduct proteome-wide footprinting of drug-protein interactions with unprecedented breadth and precision. Our technology allows us to screen, identify and optimize novel drugs that selectively bind virtually any protein, including proteins previously considered “undruggable”. Our pipeline and emerging programs reflect a matured and productive platform capable of delivering first in class drugs utilizing novel mechanisms of action (allosteric inhibitors, protein-protein interaction inhibitors, functional activators, degraders etc.) against undruggable targets in the oncology and immunology space.

We prize scientific excellence, creativity, team players and we are committed to continued innovation. We have worked hard to create a collaborative and dynamic work culture where your ideas and discoveries are valued and will have an impact. We are growing and there are opportunities for mentorship and career progression.

Vividion has been recognized as a Top Workplace by The San Diego Union-Tribune from 2022 to 2025.

Job Summary:

We are seeking a scientist who is passionate about deploying chemical proteomics to interrogate biology and identify novel opportunities for small molecule drug discovery. The successful candidate will have hands-on experience in mass-spectrometry-based proteomics and chemical biology workflows to characterize the interaction of small molecule ligands with their protein targets. This position will be responsible for supporting efforts to enable ligand discovery against high-impact targets using a combination of proteomic, cellular and biochemical methods.
