Machine Learning Researcher

Join us in creating biological reasoning in generative AI to revolutionize disease understanding and treatment. As a machine learning researcher, you'll work alongside our founders to build a biologically-aware AI platform that understands complex biological relationships and generates novel therapeutics.

• ⁠You will develop new approaches to infuse biological understanding into AI models, innovating on key architectural components to unlock unprecedented capabilities
• You will design and train innovative AI models using large, diverse biological datasets
• You will tackle unique challenges such as extremely long context in biological sequences and multi-modal data
• You will solve challenging AI research problems at scale, tackling key aspects such as model architecture and scaling, pre-training and fine-tuning strategies, and rigorous evaluation methods
• Your work will span various Gen AI architectures, including transformers, autoencoders, GANs, and diffusion models, as well as additional deep learning architectures
  
  

Make a real tangible impact on millions of lives by pushing the boundaries of generative AI.

No prior biological background required--we'll bring you up to speed on everything you need to know.
