Lead, Machine Learning Engineering & AI Research

Computation is revolutionizing drug discovery. Advances in big chemical data, massive computing power, artificial intelligence, and molecular dynamics simulation are changing the way we develop new drugs. At 1910 Genetics, we put computation at the heart of drug discovery, blending expertise in computational chemistry, structural biology, pharmacology, genetics, data science, and software engineering to develop drugs for previously undruggable targets.

You are someone we can count on to...

• Act as both an Individual Contributor (IC), who can roll up her sleeves, and play an important role in our mission to use AI/ML to develop drugs against historically difficult disease targets, as well as a Leader who can build and grow the ML Engineering & AI Research team over time.

You will own...

• Proposal of innovative AI/ML models that address specific use cases in our drug discovery process.
• Development and launch prototype models.
• Productionization of AI/ML models on AWS.
• The company’s AWS Infrastructure.
• The growth of the ML Engineering & AI Research team.

You will teach...

• Your cross-disciplinary colleagues from Computational Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Computational Biology, Cell Biology, and Pharmacology, how AI/ML can solve important problems for them.

You will learn...
