JOB DESCRIPTION

At BioAI, we advance healthcare and push the boundaries of medical science through a combination of expertise in biology and machine learning. We launched a portfolio of initiatives across drug discovery and design, protein engineering, etc. In Dec. 2020, InstaDeep released DeepChain, an AI-powered, cloud-native, GPU-accelerated platform for protein design. Its core functionalities are built on a proven optimization framework leveraging state of the art search algorithms and protein language models. Another key research area is the development of next-generation vaccines and biopharmaceuticals for the treatment of cancer and prevention and therapy of infectious diseases, including COVID-19.

In collaboration with research engineers and computational biologists from the BioAI team, you will be contributing to the development of new approaches in molecular modelling, protein interactions, protein designs and other related domains, by applying your technical, analytical, and research skills. You will understand the underlying bioinformatics and business problems and follow the latest developments in both machine learning and biology to identify and harness the right technologies to solve the problems, improve the existing solutions and take part in the commercial deployment of their solution. You will collaborate with a multi-functional team, experiment with different approaches, analyze and communicate the results, in order to deliver proof of concepts, minimum viable products, and ensure continuous improvement and maintenance for industrialized solutions. You will also be responsible for writing high-quality, maintainable, well-documented, and modular software libraries.
