Software Engineer I/II, Machine Learning

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design, implement, and maintain production-grade ML workflows (fine-tuning, batch/online inference, evaluation) with strong observability and CI/CD.
• Deploy GPU-accelerated ML services and jobs using modern tooling and cloud-based orchestration.
• Collaborate with ML scientists and cross-functional teams to capture requirements, scope milestones, and deliver features into user workflows and services.
• Conduct code reviews and mentor peers on software engineering and MLOps best practices.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Engineer I: Minimum of 5 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree in a scientific field; or 3 years and a Master’s degree; PhD with 0-3 years of experience or equivalent work experience.
• Engineer II: 8+ years relevant experience with a bachelor’s degree in a scientific field; or PhD with 3+ years; or equivalent experience.
• Strong modern Python development (packaging, type hints, testing, performance), with experience in building production services and libraries.
• Hands-on with ML model lifecycle and tooling (e.g. PyTorch, Hugging Face, vLLM/Triton/ONNX Runtime); data tooling (e.g. Pandas, Arrow, S3, Parquet); and workflow orchestration (e.g. Prefect, Airflow, Luigi).
• Cloud deployment experience (AWS preferred), including containerization, IaC patterns, and GPU workload considerations.
• Experience in scientific domains or drug discovery is a plus; ability to collaborate with scientists and communicate across disciplines is essential.
