We’re looking for a machine learning scientist/engineer to work with our computational biologists and experimentalists on data-driven methods for the design and optimization of proteins. Our goal is to radically improve the state of the art in applied protein engineering by developing new computational methods and applying recent advances such as AlphaFold and protein LLMs. This role combines modern engineering, foundational machine learning work, and biologically-motivated design, and is central to the team’s impact. We are looking for someone that’s passionate about applying ML on real world problems, not SOTA chasing on public benchmarks.
The ideal team member will demonstrate scrappiness, creativity, and drive to “make it happen” by iterating rapidly and adapting state-of-the-art methods to team and customer needs. This teammate will help us keep our finger on the pulse of the real-world by ensuring we are continually adding value to our customers. They will thrive in an organization that rapidly iterates, evolves, and leans into ambiguity.
