About the role

About Tamarind Bio

We enable any scientist to access AI-powered drug discovery. Thousands of scientists from large pharma companies, top biotechs, and academic institutions use Tamarind to design protein drugs, improve industrial enzymes, and create cutting edge molecules that weren’t feasible until now.

New AI models are quickly eclipsing physics-based tools in computational drug discovery. Scientists often struggle to fine-tune, deploy, and scale these models, leaving breakthroughs on the table. Tamarind provides a simple interface to the vast array of tools being released daily.

About the Role

We’re a fast-growing startup in San Francisco looking for an ambitious and organized Operations Associate to join our team. This is an entry-level role perfect for someone excited to learn how startups work from the inside — from logistics and HR to recruiting and team operations.

What You’ll Do

  • Keep our office running smoothly — from stocking supplies to helping plan team lunches and events

  • Manage scheduling, travel coordination, and calendar organization for the team

  • Support recruiting efforts (posting jobs, sourcing candidates, scheduling interviews)

  • Assist with onboarding new hires and basic HR logistics

  • Help with day-to-day operational projects — no two days will look the same

What We’re Looking For

  • Eager to learn and thrive in a fast-paced startup environment

  • Highly organized, proactive, and adaptable

  • Strong communication and attention to detail

  • Comfortable juggling multiple projects and helping wherever needed

  • No prior experience required — just a strong work ethic and willingness to grow

Perks

  • Onsite work with a small, dynamic team in San Francisco

  • Exposure to all sides of startup operations — HR, recruiting, logistics, and more

  • Room to grow, learn, and take ownership of projects end to end

If you’re looking to get your foot in the door at a startup and make an impact from day one, we’d love to hear from you.
