Job Description

At GSK we see a world in which advanced applications of Machine Learning and AI will allow us to develop novel therapies to existing diseases and to quickly respond to emerging or changing diseases with personalized drugs, driving better outcomes at reduced cost with fewer side effects. It is an ambitious vision that will require the development of products and solutions at the cutting edge of Machine Learning and AI. If that excites you, we'd love to chat.

We're looking for a Director AI/ML Engineer for Computer Vision to help us make this vision a reality. Competitive candidates will have a track record in developing SOTA deep learning models for solving challenging real world computer vision problems. They should be an outstanding scientist with in-depth knowledge in modern machine learning, as well as classical computer vision technique and software libraries.

They can convert vaguely described computer vision challenges into well-defined machine learning problem. They can independently as well as leading a team of engineers to plan, execute and deliver full AI/ML driven solution from sourcing training data, design and implementing SOTA machine learning models, testing, benchmark and product driven research for model performance improvement, to shipping stable, tested, performant code and services in an agile environment.

Educational or professional background in the biological and medical sciences is a plus but is not necessary.

The AI/ML team is built on the principles of ownership, accountability, continuous development, and collaboration. We hire for the long term, and we're motivated to make this a great place to work. Our leaders will be committed to your career and development from day one.

Basic Qualifications:

We are looking for professionals with these required skills to achieve our goals:

• PhD in modern computer vision (deep learning focused)
• Highly experience in AI/ML engineering with an established track record of successful delivery of state-of-the-art AI/ML solutions
• An outstanding scientist, machine learning engineer, and software engineer. Demonstrate expertise and depth in deep learning for computer vision, including but not limited to image segmentation, object detection, weakly supervised learning, and self-supervised learning
• Familiar with classical and traditional computer vision algorithms
• Proficiency with a broad range of deep learning algorithms and in-depth understanding of major CNN model architectures
• Familiarity with current deep learning literature and math of machine learning

• In depth knowledge in machine learning best practices, scalable training and deployment, model introspection and evaluation
• Advanced level in PyTorch, Tensorflow, or other deep learning frameworks
• Highly experienced/accomplished in software engineering with advanced skills in python and/or C++
• Experience with devop stacks: version control, CI/CD, containerization, etc.
• Proven ability to mentor, coach, and lead junior member of the team
• Previous line management experience is a plus but not required for applying this position

Preferred Qualifications:

If you have the following characteristics, it would be a plus:

• Peer reviewed publications in major AI conferences
• Experience in design, development and deployment of commercial AI/ML software.
• Track record of contributing to open source projects
• Mentality of commit early and often, metrics before models, and shipping high quality production code
• Knowledge in disease biology, molecular biology and biochemistry
• Experience with biological data (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics, etc.), clinical data (e.g., electronic health records, clinical images)

Why GSK?
