Collaborate with subject matter experts and AI engineers to develop and deploy models and ensure high-quality, scientifically sound solutions.
Responsibilities
- Develop and validate advanced AI/ML models to tackle complex problems in target choice, patient identification, molecule design/chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC), and clinical trial effectiveness.
- Design and implement AI/ML pipelines for data preprocessing, feature engineering, model training, hyperparameter tuning, and model evaluation, enabling rapid experimental iteration and adhering to industry’s best practices in MLOps.
- Besides classical ML models fine-tuning (i.e., support vector machine and random forest), this team is also responsible for large language model (LLM) customization and fine-tuning using complex techniques (i.e., low-rank adaptation (LoRA) and reinforcement learning (RL) with human feedback).
- Collaborate with AI engineers to deploy AI/ML models in both classical inference pipelines and agentic framework approaches.
- Collaborate with subject matter experts in pre-clinical research, clinical trial design and operation, precision medicine, regulatory science, and CMC to guarantee scientifically sound and high-quality simulation modeling and analytical solutions.
Basic Qualifications
We are looking for professionals with these required skills to achieve our goals:
- BS degree in computer science or equivalent quantitative science fields (e.g., bioinformatics, applied math, statistics, engineering)
- 3 years of data science and machine learning developer experience in high-velocity, high-growth companies. Alternatively, a strong background in relevant ML research in academia will be considered as an equivalent qualification.
- Experience working with LLM technologies, including developing generative and embedding techniques, modern model architectures, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), fine tuning / pre-training LLM (including parameter efficient fine-tuning), and evaluation benchmarks.
- Experience in data wrangling from large databases for feature engineering and model training purposes.
- Proficiency in Python, TensorFlow/PyTorch, and scalable ML architectures.
- Proficiency of AI/ML model metrics (e.g., F1 and AI-contents evaluation metrics)
- Coding and software engineering skills, and familiarity with software engineering principles around testing, code reviews and deployment.
If you have the following characteristics, it would be a plus
- MA degree in computer science or equivalent qualitative science fields
- Experience with reinforcement learning (RL) and multi-agent framework
