Machine Learning Engineer, ML Platform

Your work will change lives. Including your own. 

The Impact You’ll Make

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will be building a platform that accelerates drug discovery with machine learning.  By leveraging your experience in machine learning, software engineering, infrastructure, and data, you will:

• Automate, and streamline ML workflows with a mixture of off-the-shelf and custom tooling as needed
• Build, operate and improve the infrastructure and abstractions to support our emerging research capabilities
• Deploy, monitor, and optimize DL models in a continuous-use, high-throughput, biological research platform that executes millions of custom cellular experiments weekly
• Work collaboratively alongside machine learning engineers, researchers and product managers

The Team You’ll Join 

Recursion has built a unique dataset (over 1 million unique biological perturbations profiled in a high-dimensional biological assay, making up nearly 20 PB of highly-relatable data) and a unique approach to phenotypic drug discovery using our inference-based Recursion Map to predict tens of billions of relationships between disease models and therapeutic candidates.

You will join a team of software and machine learning engineers working to standardize and automate the process of training, evaluating, and deploying deep learning models.  We are expanding the ML applications we support and maximizing the use of our supercomputer.  The capabilities you provide to machine learning scientists will allow them to have increased understanding of our models and move them into production with confidence.

The Experience You’ll Need

• Familiarity with the full lifecycle of ML and software development in production, including:
• Data preparation, model training, evaluation, and monitoring
• Releasing, and maintaining ML products
• Authoring well tested, scalable, documented code, peer reviews, CI/CD
• A team-first mentality, and eagerness to help your colleagues
• Nice to haves: PyTorch, NumPy, Pandas, Horovod, GCP, Hybrid Cloud, Linux, CUDA, Docker, Kubernetes, BigQuery, large scale distributed systems

The Values That We Hope You Share:

• We Care: We care about our drug candidates, our Recursionauts, their families, each other, our communities, the patients we aim to serve and their loved ones. We also care about our work.
• We Learn: Learning from the diverse perspectives of our fellow Recursionauts, and from failure, is an essential part of how we make progress.
• We Deliver: We are unapologetic that our expectations for delivery are extraordinarily high. There is urgency to our existence: we sprint at maximum engagement, making time and space to recover. 
• Act Boldly with Integrity: No company changes the world or reinvents an industry without being bold. It must be balanced; not by timidity, but by doing the right thing even when no one is looking.
• We are One Recursion: We operate with a 'company first, team second' mentality. Our success comes from working as one interdisciplinary team.

Recursion spends time and energy connecting every aspect of work to these values. They aren’t static, but regularly discussed and questioned because we make decisions rooted in those values in our day-to-day work. You can read more about our values and how we live them every day here.

More About Recursion 

Central to our mission is the Recursion Operating System, or Recursion OS, that combines an advanced infrastructure layer to generate what we believe is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing proprietary biological and chemical datasets and the Recursion Map, a suite of custom software, algorithms, and machine learning tools that we use to explore foundational biology unconstrained by human bias and navigate to new biological insights which may accelerate our programs. We are a biotechnology company scaling more like a technology company. Recursion is proudly headquartered in Salt Lake City.
