Job Description

Opportunity for an experienced professional to design, build, and deploy machine learning systems that accelerates biotech research and development — from drug discovery and molecular modeling to clinical data analysis and lab automation.

 

Role

  • Design and implement ML/AI models for applications such as molecule property prediction, protein structure analysis, genomic data interpretation, or clinical trial optimization
  • Build and maintain data pipelines for processing large-scale biological and chemical datasets
  • Collaborate with wet-lab scientists, computational biologists, and clinicians to translate research questions into AI/ML solutions
  • Deploy models into production systems (APIs, internal tools, or lab platforms)
  • Evaluate and integrate relevant foundation models (e.g., protein language models, cheminformatics tools)
  • Ensure reproducibility, validation, and documentation of models to meet scientific and regulatory standards
  • Monitor model performance and iterate based on experimental or clinical feedback
  • Stay current with advances in AI applied to life sciences (e.g., AlphaFold-style models, generative chemistry)

 

Requirements

  • Bachelor's/Master's/PhD in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or related field
  • At least 2 years of experience building and deploying ML models in production
  • Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn)
  • Experience with biological/chemical data formats (FASTA, SMILES, PDB, etc.) is a strong plus
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) and MLOps tools
  • Understanding of statistics, experimental design, and scientific rigor
  • Strong communication skills for cross-functional collaboration with scientists
