​What You Will Be Doing in the Company

As a Member of Technical Staff, you will play a crucial role in scaling up ML models across GPUs and facilitating model inference via APIs. Joining an interdisciplinary team of machine learners, protein engineers, and biologists, you will collectively work towards revolutionizing the control of biology and the treatment of diseases. Your primary focus will involve applying, refining, and evaluating proprietary generative models to design new functional proteins for wet lab assays. You will be responsible for enabling and optimizing large-scale model training, building ML infrastructure for heterogeneous compute infrastructure, and assisting in optimizing model training. Additionally, you will work on enabling and optimizing model inference, exposing models via APIs, and packaging models for reuse. You will also be involved in productionizing model validation, building automated evaluation pipelines, and developing tools and infrastructure to support projects.
