About the job
Develop generative machine learning models to design functional proteins, evaluate them against biological goals, and improve them using wet-lab results.
What you'll do
- Curate training and evaluation data, develop evaluation metrics, and prototype and analyze generative models.
- Collaborate with research, engineering, and protein-design teams; maintain shared code and contribute to compute and ML infrastructure.
- Plan wet-lab testing with the biology team, run model inference for biological targets, and incorporate experimental feedback.
What they ask for
- Deep expertise and experience in generative modeling.
- Experience with ML development, including robust code, version control and code review, cloud training and inference, and parallelization across accelerators.
- Experience building ML data pipelines for deep learning training and evaluation.
- Track record on notable ML projects, such as open-source contributions, significant product launches, or high-impact publications.
Nice to have
- Experience in computational biology, protein design, or ML-driven biology projects.
- Academic training in physics, biology, chemistry, or a related natural science.
AI focus
Architect and build generative models to design functional proteins, evaluate model performance, and use wet-lab results to improve models.
