  • We pursue large scientific challenges that cannot be pursued in conventional environments.
  • We enable individual investigators to pursue their riskiest and most innovative ideas.
  • The technologies developed at CZ Biohub San Francisco facilitate research by scientists and clinicians at our home institutions and beyond.

Diversity of thought, ideas, and perspectives are at the heart of CZ Biohub Network and enable disruptive innovation and scholarly excellence. We are committed to cultivating an inclusive organization where all colleagues feel inspired and know their work makes an important contribution.

The Opportunity

The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub (CZ Biohub SF) is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Machine Learning Engineer to lead the development of state-of-the-art multimodal large language model (LLM) agents that will enable breakthrough research and discoveries in biology. The ideal candidate will have established expertise in machine learning, self-supervised learning, and pretraining of multimodal models to integrate natural language with another modality such as omics or image. The successful candidate will report directly to Yasin Şenbabaoğlu (Director of Computational Biology) at CZ Biohub, San Francisco.

You will

  • Design, develop, and help to deploy multimodal LLMs that integrate textual and multi-omic data.
  • Lead the research and development of novel algorithms to process and align scientific literature with biological datasets for downstream analysis.
  • Collaborate closely with computational biologists and experimental scientists to understand domain-specific challenges and optimize model performance.
  • Manage large-scale datasets (scientific texts, omics data, and imaging) and build efficient data pipelines for training and evaluation.
  • Mentor junior scientists and engineers, fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous learning.
  • You have

    Required –

  • PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Computational Biology, Bioinformatics or a related field; or Masters with equivalent experience.
  • 3 years of experience with Python and relevant deep learning libraries (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).
  • 3 years of experience in designing innovative multimodal AI systems and / or architectures.
  • Experience with model deployment, containerization, cloud-based platforms and version control systems.
  • Experience in integrating and aligning heterogeneous data sources (text, omics, images) for AI-driven applications.
  • Proven track record of impactful publications and conference presentations in relevant areas.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work in an interdisciplinary environment.
  • Nice to have -

  • Expertise in natural language processing and self-supervised learning training techniques.
  • Familiarity with bioinformatics tools and scientific literature databases (e.g., PubMed, arXiv).
  • Experience with Python backend framework experience (e.g., Flask, FastAPI, etc) and high-performance computing (HPC) environments.
  • Strong leadership and project management skills.
  • Compensation

    New hires are typically hired into the lower portion of the range, enabling employee growth in the range over time. To determine starting pay, we consider multiple job-related factors including a candidate’s skills, education and experience, market demand, business needs, and internal parity. We may also adjust this range in the future based on market data. Your recruiter can share more about the specific pay range during the hiring process.

    What We Provide

  • Resources to disrupt and innovate at the frontiers of our knowledge of biology and disease.
  • A collegial and collaborative environment consisting of diverse expertise.
