About the teams
Our main task is to deliver complex components and products with rare technologies in a complex chemical background.

It is a fully remote team, but we like to meet with each other regularly, so we try to be in the office once a week, or at least at the beginning of the sprints. We have team building and workshop events as well, which we prefer in person.

And what do we do?
We provide chemical software development platforms mostly for the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries - but any chemist might find us useful.

Because we are known for our rapid and high quality technical support, we develop our tools together with our users (the reason we have good quality software); and because we support academic research and teaching like no one else in the industry!
All right, so exactly what are we good for?
Well, among many other things, you can draw & view chemical structures with Marvin Suite; manage and search your compounds with JChem tools; search your database in Excel or in our Instant JChem interface; perform a variety of calculations and predictions; cluster, screen, fragment or synthesize your compounds virtually and deal with Markush structures.
