About the role

  • Machine Learning Scientist leading ML model development for small molecule drug discovery, collaborating with scientists and refining strategies for drug candidate nominations.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the application of Large Language Models (LLMs), co-folding algorithms, and generative chemistry techniques to design novel chemical matter aimed at hitting key program milestones, such as establishing selectivity windows and optimizing drug-like properties
  • ML lead on project teams, collaborating intimately with medicinal chemists to refine SAR and with structural biologists to integrate co-folding and structure-based insights into ML workflows
  • Data-Driven Decision Making: Synthesize complex ML outputs into clear, actionable design hypotheses that cross-functional scientific stakeholders can use to make high-stakes program decisions
  • May be responsible for management and development of internal team members.

Requirements

  • Ph.D. in Computational Chemistry, Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field
  • Demonstrated expertise in statistics, probability theory, data modeling, machine learning algorithms, and the languages used to implement analytics solutions
  • 4-7+ years of experience in a biotech or pharma setting performing ML support for small molecule drug discovery with clear evidence of impact on drug discovery programs
  • Demonstrated success in a cross-functional environment, including biologists, structural biologists, medicinal and computational chemists, with specific examples of computational designs/algorithms/models that directly led to the achievement of program milestones
  • Expert proficiency in Python and deep learning libraries (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow) is required. You must be able to build and maintain production-quality code and data pipelines.

Benefits

  • Health insurance
  • Professional development opportunities
