Amphiform (amphiform.com) is building next-gen energy materials for AI data centres, defence and space: light, abundant and powerful. We achieve that by creating a new type of matter: hybrid materials, built atomic layer by atomic layer, where every atom has a pre-programmed purpose.
We just closed a $5.5M pre-seed led by General Catalyst and Main Object, with Thomas Wolf (Hugging Face), Charlie Songhurst, and others. An Oxford physics professor who built the atomic manufacturing equipment we’re using is joining the team.
About the Role
Designing and running the synthesis for main materials. Mainly organic synthesis, but simple inorganic will be present. You’ll work directly with the founding team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
