Your Role:
We are looking for Research Engineers who will work with large scale datasets from different modalities, including biomolecular data, such as proteins and DNA, 2D and 3D images or graph-structured data. You will design and implement advanced ML architectures and workflows encompassing multimodal generative models and physics-based modelling.
Your Responsibilities
- Design and implement advanced ML architectures
- Develop robust model evaluation pipelines.
- Optimize model architectures for performance and reliability.
- Drive best practices in code quality, reproducibility, and collaboration.
- Build and maintain large-scale ML systems that process biomolecule datasets.
- Work with domain specialists to incorporate wet lab data and HPC simulations.
- Help to build and maintain large-scale generative models of molecular data.
Requirements
Qualifications
- Advanced degree in Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry, or Materials Science with a strong ML focus.
- Hands-on experience in GPU-based computing, HPC integrations, and distributed system architectures.
- Proficiency with deep learning frameworks (e.g. PyTorch) and scientific software (e.g., molecular simulation).
- Strong understanding of data modeling and pipeline optimization for large-scale experiments.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams and communicate complex concepts clearly.
Team Leadership & People Management
(Relevant for roles with people leadership responsibilities)
- Lead with empathy, curiosity, and clarity, modelling the behaviours that help others do their best work.
