Patsnap is building evidence-backed materials datasets extracted from patents and scientific literature, starting with an engineering-polymer curation program. You will own the delivery of this program end to end: managing any vendor relationships, safeguarding scientific quality, and connecting the curated output to Patsnap's ontology, extraction, and search teams. Beyond this program, you will support a growing portfolio of materials data extraction, indexing, and search projects.

This is a hands-on scientific role, not a pure project-management role. The hardest problems are chemical, not infrastructural: deciding whether a Markush structure's variable definitions were captured faithfully, whether a repeat unit was explicitly disclosed or inferred by a curator, whether a copolymer's architecture was stated or assumed, whether a property was bound to the right sample among a table of examples. You will be the final scientific arbiter on these calls, and you must be able to make them yourself.
