Position Summary
We believe we are at the cusp of a nucleic acid medicine revolution powered by programmable medicines and machine learning. We are leveraging machine learning and fast iterative cycles with a world-class wet lab team to guide and improve the design of the next generation of delivery vehicles for nucleic acid therapeutics. These delivery vehicles are complex self-assembled particles at the intersection of chemistry, biology and self assembly, and ML can be leveraged to help generate and predict across all design aspects.
To this end, we are seeking a rigorous, self-motivated, creative Senior Machine Learning Scientist. As one of the first computational scientists and engineers on the team, you will have the chance to greatly impact the organization and drive projects end-to-end, from ideation, to proof of concept, to production-level data pipelines. You will be expected to develop innovative methods for molecular generation and optimization, large self-supervised pre-training, and active learning strategies to close the loop with the wet lab. The successful candidate will work closely with experimental scientists to rapidly advance various scientific programs, be comfortable iterating rapidly in development phase, while building robust and reliable pipelines in production. This individual will join a world-class, dynamic, and highly collaborative team that is driving a novel platform technology.
