We are seeking a skilled Senior Machine Learning Scientist to join our team at the Iambic Therapeutics. In this role, you will work to design, develop, train, benchmark, and deploy one out of two of our machine learning models. 

1.     NeuralPLexer is a protein-ligand structure prediction model based on equivariant diffusion and related techniques.

2.     Enchant is a multitask and multimodal transformer model, trained at scale on a wide variety of biomedical data.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Execute the full machine learning project cycle including planning, proof of concept, deployment, and maintenance of machine learning models

• Perform individual and group research in the machine learning literature

• Implement, train, evaluate, and deploy large transformer models

• Maintain, refactor, package, and test code related to machine learning activities

• Train new employees and interns in the practice of machine learning, including implementation, execution, evaluation, and deployment

• Train machine learning models on many-GPU clusters

• Communicate results with internal drug discovery teams and externally at conferences 

QUALIFICATIONS

Required:

• A wide-ranging knowledge base in machine learning with expertise in the application of deep learning to the biology, medicine, and/or chemistry

• A PhD or equivalent degree in machine learning or a computational STEM field

For the NeuralPLexer role:

• Responsibility: Collaborate with teams of computational scientists, biologists, and medicinal chemists to apply machine learning to structural biology and structure-based drug design problems

• Previous experience: machine learning for biomolecular structure prediction, diffusion/flow-matching/normalizing flows/neural ODEs, equivariant models, application of deep learning to the physical sciences, computational protein simulation

For the Enchant role:

• Previous experience at the intersection of deep learning, python programming, and high-performance computing

• Previous experience in large language or transformer model, including data preparation, training, finetuning, and evaluation
