About the role
Byte Dance Seed is seeking candidates to join our team in San Jose for cutting-edge research at the intersection of quantum chemistry and machine learning. You will work on developing quantum computational chemistry tools and leveraging large-scale computing infrastructure to address fundamental science questions in catalysis.
Successful applicants should be PhD-qualified with strong ML and programming skills, and be able to onboard by year-end.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
