Job description

I am working with a software company developing foundation models with a focus on Multi-omics and Single cell, with a broad range of targets and biological applications.

This position is for a Single-Cell expert, who has ideally trained foundation models, and has an in-depth understanding of ML tools and applications used to fine-tune these models.

This position is for an excellent communicator, who has worked in an agile, fast-paced environment, since your role will involve understanding customer requirements and deploying the company's model to fit their specific needs, collaborating with ML engineers and commercial teams.

This can be a senior role, with two openings in this team, and the job title will depend on the experience and seniority of the candidate.

Your profile

  • PHD, MSC, in Bioinformatics or a related field
  • Several years of Python programming experience, with an in-depth understanding of ML/AI applications used for single cell (foundation models)
  • Excellent communication skills with experience in translating needs to internal/external stakeholders
  • Deep single cell expertise evidenced by a publication record

This position is not specifically targeted at developers, but at individuals who can train and fine-tune these models for biological applications.

Client location will be discussed during the screening call - this position is hybrid in London/EU, but can be remote for exceptional candidates.

Remote work is mentioned in the ad for client confidentiality and to attract talent.
