Position: Applied ML Scientist, Cheminformatics (Staff / Principal)
About The Team
We’re a tight-knit team of proven drug hunters, deep learning researchers, and software engineers united by a common mission — drive AI innovation in biochemistry, discovering and developing groundbreaking therapies for patients suffering from severe disorders.
Genesis AI team is focused on developing foundation models for drug discovery by conducting fundamental research at the intersection of machine learning, physics, and computational chemistry, as well as engineering robust software systems that enable running large-scale simulations and training generative and predictive AI models designed to learn from all kinds of molecular data, leveraging our cluster with thousands of GPUs and CPUs.
About The Role
This unique role serves as a critical bridge between our AI research and experimental drug discovery teams. You will collaborate closely with both groups, leveraging cutting-edge AI techniques to evaluate, analyze, and deploy models to maximize the impact of our industry-leading AI platform on drug discovery programs.
The ideal candidate will be comfortable in experimental and engineering contexts and skilled at communicating with stakeholders from both domains. Their day-to-day responsibilities will require basic familiarity with experimental techniques, excellent data science skills, and demonstrated ability in applied ML.
Positions are available at various levels of seniority:
Senior, Staff, and Principal.
You will
