Position Summary:
FL94 is seeking a talented (Senior) Machine Learning Scientist. The successful candidate will develop and apply cutting-edge machine learning (ML) paradigms across FL94’s proprietary chemoproteomics and small molecule chemistry data sets to narrow the search space and increase the probability of discovering novel chemistries via generative design. This position is ideal for someone with demonstrated depth of expertise in training deep learning models on chemical or molecular structures.
Key Responsibilities:
- Translate small molecule and proteomic drug discovery challenges into ML problems
- Maximize value of public and proprietary data assets
- Develop, prototype, and produce novel ML algorithms for impactful drug discovery problems
- Train and validate large deep learning models at scale
- Leverage open-source deep learning models, data sets, and transfer learning to reduce time to solution
- Speed up training of large deep learning models using clusters of CPUs and GPUs
- Develop optimized data pipelines to fuel train deep learning models
- Collaborate closely with experimental biologists, proteomics, chemists and computational biologists to focus efforts on impactful problemso build data pipelines for ingesting high throughput experimental data
- Communicate findings to a multi-disciplinary audience
Qualifications:
- PhD in applied mathematics, machine learning, computer science, or and other quantitative disciplines with a strong focus in machine learning and deep learning (candidates with experience training graph neural networks are encouraged to apply)
- Proven track record of innovation in applied mathematics, data science and ML
- 5-10+3+ years hands-on experience in implementing, evaluating and tuning hyperparameters for large deep learning models such as GNNs, CNNs, RNNs, Transformers, VAEs, and diffusion models
- Strong expertise in multiple programming paradigms and software libraries (e.g.such Python, JAX, Tensorflow, (or Pytorch), Keras, Pandas, Sklearn, Hugging Face)
- Experience using AWS services such as S3, EC2, ECS, AWS Batch, Sagemaker to reduce runtime to train and evaluate deep learning models
- Experience in biotech/pharma, or small molecule drug design is ideal but not required. Candidate must have experience in solving real world problems using deep learning in a multidisciplinary setting.
- Foundational understanding of biology and chemistry is ideal, but not required.
- Strong written and oral communication skills
