Job description

Job Title: Applied AI Engineer Duration: 6-12 months contract to hire Location: NYC or San Francisco, CA Job Type: Onsite Our client is an applied biological intelligence company. They build and deploy software and biological AI systems to safeguard humanity. The same AI architectures that enable self-driving cars, land rockets with precision, and deliver expert-level reasoning are beginning to be deployed in biological design. To stay ahead, we must advance our arsenal of tools to capture and design against real-time sensitivities in nature’s evolving mutational landscape. Our client is a group of mission-driven software engineers from Palantir and applied biological ML engineers from MIT’s Broad Institute and DeepMind making the latest advances in computational biology accessible in the real-world for federal and commercial use. We are seeking a highly skilled, data-centric AI Engineer to develop and apply state-of-the-art ML methods for assessing and responding to biological threats and for rapidly designing precision biologics. The Role • Contribute to crafting and executing on the client-wide research and development roadmap • Develop, build, and apply modeling approaches—including adapting and post-training biological frontier models—for tasks in biological security and the design of precision biologics • Develop, build, and apply evaluation frameworks to rigorously assess model performance on key tasks • Interrogate models to understand their biological learnings, capabilities, and limitations • Collaborate closely with computational biologists to understand the signal and artifacts inherent in biological data, and to create and curate datasets • Collaborate closely with software engineers to build, deploy, and scale model training and evaluation infrastructure • Visualize and communicate results within Client and externally • Work with customers and external collaborators to understand their needs and be an effective representative of Client • Embrace learning about areas technical and non-technical across Client • Stay up-to-date on the state-of-the-art methods at the intersection of AI and biology Qualifications (required) • Experience with data-centric development and evaluation of ML models • Highly proficient in Python and deep learning libraries (e.g., PyTorch) • Experience with cloud computing platforms (e.g., AWS) and distributed systems • Strong understanding of probability and statistics Qualifications (preferred) • Proven ability to design, implement, and evaluate new ideas in ML • Experience with pre- or post-training language models, developing reasoning agents, and/or time series modeling • Experience working with biological data or other types of noisy and heterogenous datasets • Experience with ML-centric bioinformatics and structure-based tools (e.g., AlphaFold) • Experience building data pipelining and training infrastructure • Contributions to open-source projects If there is a fit, we'll schedule two technical interviews. The final step is an onsite in our office, where you'll work on a small project, discuss ideas, and work with the wider team. Apply at CoSourcing Partners.com
