Full job description

The role: We are seeking a creative, accomplished Principal Machine Learning Scientist to advance the state of the art in ML-driven therapeutic antibody design. At BigHat Biosciences our full-stack antibody drug development platform uses ML to drive every stage from discovery to optimization. Our roboticized high-throughput wet-lab continually adds to our large proprietary datasets, which are piped through a custom LIMS++ data management and orchestration layer to automatically update and deploy the latest models. This makes the development of complex, next-gen therapeutics ‘trivially parallelizable’, at a pace which only accelerates as we develop better ML tooling. You’re not interested in just git-cloning the latest NeurIPS pub and swapping out the dataset. Motivated by an enthusiasm for the possibility of addressing unmet patient needs and a curiosity about the underlying biology, you’ll apply your world-class ML skillset to refine and expand this state-of-the-art protein engineering platform. Success will mean not only hands-on methods development, but helping shape the direction for future ML research, and actively participating in the application of our platform to the accelerated design of new therapeutics.
