Cambridge, United States ODDITY LABS Full time

WHO WE ARE

ODDITY is a consumer tech company that builds and scales digital-first brands to disrupt the offline-dominated beauty and wellness industries. The company serves over 40 million users with its AI-driven online platform, deploying data science to identify consumer needs, and developing solutions in the form of beauty and wellness products. ODDITY owns IL MAKIAGE and SpoiledChild.


ODDITY LABS is our cutting-edge biotechnology R&D center, powering science-backed product innovation through the discovery and development of new molecules, probiotics, peptides, and other biological modalities. Unlike pharmaceuticals, ingredient innovation in the beauty and wellness industry has remained stagnant for decades. We are deploying patented, proprietary technologies and capabilities, including AI-based molecule discovery and advanced phenotypic databases, to understand the biological mechanisms that drive cellular behavior and develop uniquely efficacious products for beauty and wellness applications. Innovations from the ODDITY LABS will power game-changing products through ODDITY’s current brands, as well as future brands.


ODDITY operates with business headquarters in New York City, an R&D center in Tel Aviv, Israel, and a biotechnology lab in Boston. Our culture is fast-paced, innovative, agile, and offers every team member the opportunity to drive a big impact.


THE OPPORTUNITY

We’re looking to hire a passionate Sr. R&D Chemist, Pre-formulation & Delivery to add to the ODDITY LABS Product Development Team. In this role, you will play a crucial role in the formulation and topical delivery of novel molecules through industry-leading personal care products. Your responsibilities will include analyzing physiochemical properties (solubility, stability, etc.) of our proprietary molecules and improving, optimizing, and maximizing active loading of poorly soluble API’s by developing, adapting, and executing techniques/methodologies of optimizing solubility, stability and deliverability of the compounds in formulation. This role will also contribute in other ways to support our high-performing team as part of an industry-leading biotech R&D team.


In this role, you will:

  • Be responsible for analyzing, validating, improving and maximizing the effective formulation loading and delivery of poorly soluble compounds, including but not limited to solvent/excipient optimization, physical/chemical modifications, and delivery enhancements.
  • Develop methods, assays and tests to quantify and validate the properties (solubility, stability, etc.) and their improvements.
  • Evaluate existing methodologies and adapt them for optimal use while developing and establishing novel methods for improving the solubility, stability and delivery of new molecules.
  • Manage external resources and projects with Contract Research Organizations regarding topics related to solubility, stability, compatibility, delivery, formulation, etc.
  • Maintain responsibility for all materials, instruments, and data analysis across multiple projects.
  • Refine and continuously evolve existing pipelines to enable data-driven decision-making, acceleration through the proof-of-concept to product stages, and product validation pipelines. This includes, but is not limited to, developing micro and nano-scale assays to support pre-formulation decisions and operations.
  • Develop and/or standardize protocols to support synthesis and scale-up.
  • Stay apprised of new pharmaceutical and chemistry trends and implement new technologies that further enhance the capabilities of ODDITY LABS.
  • Develop and present new concepts in partnership with ODDITY LABS / ODDITY leaders.
  • Support up to 3 team members across their developments, providing feedback, coaching, and mentorship.
  • Foster a culture of innovation and be a leader within ODDITY LABS and across ODDITY teams.

  • You have a minimum 5-10 years of industry experience (pharma, biotech, etc.) in chemistry (analytical, medicinal, organic, etc.) or related fields, with at least 4 years focusing on topical/non-topical API characterization, analysis, pre-formulation, solubility enhancement, and/or other active ingredient delivery methods directly related to the job description
  • You have extensive knowledge of both organic chemistry and current pharmaceutical methods and techniques for improving and modulating solubility and deliverability.
  • You are familiar with industry standard analytical and screening methodologies in this area and comfortable both developing, performing, and executing all necessary experiments and techniques, including but not limited to: liposomal encapsulation, nanoemulsions, cyclodextrin complexation, salt formulation, ultrasonic homogenization, etc.
