At GSK we see a world in which advanced applications of Machine Learning and AI will allow us to develop novel therapies to existing diseases and to quickly respond to emerging or changing diseases with personalized drugs, driving better outcomes at reduced cost with fewer side effects. It is an ambitious vision that will require the development of products and solutions at the cutting edge of Machine Learning and AI. If that excites you, we'd love to chat.
Our team is focused on accelerating the discovery and development of novel RNA therapeutics. This work explores the exciting potential of applying state-of-the-art machine learning and AI to life sciences and drug discovery. We're looking for an accomplished Machine Learning Engineer to help us make this vision a reality. Strong candidates will have a track record of shipping high performing AI/ML powered products in production environments, and a passion for solving challenging problems in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Educational or professional background in the biological sciences is a plus but is not necessary; passion to help therapies for new and existing diseases, and a pattern of continuous learning and development is required.
The AI/ML team is built on the principles of ownership, accountability, continuous development, and collaboration. We hire for the long term, and we're motivated to make this a great place to work. Our leaders will be committed to your career and development from day one.
In this role you will
* Build models, services, and libraries that fulfill the stated API contract and metrics for project.
* Effectively iterate on model design, training process design, code abstractions, etc. to improve key metrics of their model, service, or library.
* Aggressively test their code to ensure the specification is met.
* Proactively communicate problems, delays, and changes to project lead or senior engineers and ask for help.
* Engage with code review and view it as a learning tool to improve engineering practice.
* Commit code early and often, and seek feedback along the way when needed.
* Frequently demo work and/or lessons learned for their team or for the organization.
Why you?
Qualifications & Skills:
We are looking for professionals with these required skills to achieve our goals:
* Graduate studies in Computer Science or Applied Mathematics, undergraduate studies in Computer Science and relevant graduate studies in the life sciences with a focus on AI/ML techniques, or undergraduate studies in Computer Science and equivalent work history. Candidates with graduate studies in CS and biological sciences or equivalent work history will be highly competitive.
* Industry experience in software engineering in Python and/or C++.
* Understanding and application of best practices in Machine Learning, with breadth across the ML stack.
* Have shipped products powered by machine learning.
Preferred Qualifications & Skills:
If you have the following characteristics, it would be a plus:
* PhD in Computer Science.
* Understanding of modern ML Architectures, Platforms, and backend systems, including PyTorch or TensorFlow.
* Experience applying ML methods to problems in the biology or life sciences domain.
* Understanding and application of best practices in machine learning, software engineering, and/or production deployment of ML services.
* Track record of contributing to open source projects.
* Mentality of commit early and often, metrics before models, and shipping high quality production code.
