Requirements

  • 8-10 years building software or ML solutions for medicinal chemistry, biologics engineering, or high-content screening; fluent in SAR data, sequence/structure relationships, and assay lifecycles
  • Practical mastery of open-source and proprietary molecular-design toolkits (e.g., EvoDiff, RFdiffusion, Molformer, RDKit, Alphafold, Schrodinger, OpenEye) and ability to integrate or adapt them within proprietary pipelines
  • Hands-on experience fine-tuning and deploying LLMs, diffusion models, GNNs, structure-prediction models (AlphaFold family)

Responsibilities

  • Own the strategy and delivery of GenAI-native applications, predictive-model workflows, and insight-driven analytics platforms that accelerate small-molecule and biotherapeutic invention
  • Translate scientific objectives into intuitive software products and robust model-ops practices to help chemists, protein engineers, and data scientists iterate faster, uncover deeper insights, and make better decisions
  • Champion predictive-model use-cases across medicinal chemistry and biologics (e.g., property prediction, sequence optimization, generative design)
  • Harness cutting-edge structure- and sequence-prediction models (AlphaFold/OpenFold, RoseTTAFold, RFdiffusion, Schrodinger, OpenEye) to accelerate target triage, protein engineering, and binding-interface analysis
  • Track, evaluate, and train molecular prediction models and integrate genAI methods from literature and open-source community
  • Ensure model outputs, metrics, and explainability align with discovery KPIs and downstream lab workflows
  • Integrate agentic genAI frameworks (e.g., Bedrock, LangChain, LlamaIndex, AzureOpenAI) to create conversational analytics, automated report writers, and “copilot” agents for complex SAR, sequence, or imaging datasets
  • Deliver full-stack applications—React/Next.js fronts with Python/FastAPI & GraphQL services—that surface models and analytics at scale with sub-second responsiveness
  • Stand up automated pipelines for data curation, experiment tracking, CI/CD, and governed model release (PyTorch/TensorFlow + MLflow/Kubeflow/SageMaker + GitHub Actions)
  • Package and deploy predictive applications and model endpoints to cloud PaaS or on-prem containers for scalable inference and performant access
  • Codify reusable templates, inner-source libraries, and design systems that cut feature time-to-value by 40%
  • Mentor a cross-disciplinary team of full-stack and ML engineers; foster “better-than-best” practices in code quality, documentation, and UX research
  • Partner with discovery leads, IT operations, and external vendors to align technical backlogs with portfolio milestones and data-quality standards
  • Influence budgeting and make-vs-buy decisions for AI tooling and platform enhancements
