Responsibilities

• Contribute to and drive an ambitious, high-impact, research agenda development on machine learning in the molecular sciences.
• Software development for efficient and expressive machine learning models for biomolecules. Codebase management and coordination.
• Optimizing machine learning models for scaling, training and inference efficiency.
• Systems engineering, e.g., efficiently working distributed cloud computing and data management system, optimizing system for efficiency and cloud costs.
• Deployment of ML models to users and technology transfer to product groups.
• Being fully committed to one research team and project that may take several years to come to fruition and prioritizing team success over individual research interests.

Qualifications

• Experienced in Python software development with object-oriented design, software packaging and deployment, ideally demonstrated by published software projects (e.g., github).
