Sobre este puesto de Scientific Machine Learning Engineer en Schrödinger
Schrödinger · Presencial · New York
We’re seeking a Scientific Machine Learning (ML) Engineer to join us in our mission to transform the discovery of therapeutics and materials!
Our Hit Discovery team builds computational workflows that combine machine learning with chemical physics to efficiently evaluate billions of potential drug molecules. As a member of this group, you’ll collaborate with research scientists on improving the accuracy and applicability of these methods and turn them into robust, scalable software products.Who will love this job:
- An applied problem solver who’s excited about addressing challenging problems in computational chemistry and thrives when working with large codebases and data sets
- A growth-oriented engineer who’s eager to adopt best practices like automated testing and code reviews
- A collaborative communicator who enjoys bridging the gap between ML, software engineering, and scientific research
What you’ll do:
- Design, build, and test scalable software for ML virtual screening pipelines, integrating ML applications with physics-based backends (such as docking and free energy perturbation) to optimize hit and hit-to-lead campaigns
- Work closely with scientists to adapt and expand our existing workflows for new discovery cases, as well as help develop new methodologies with our current pipelines
- Explore scientific literature and benchmark novel ML approaches to improve the applicability and accuracy of core hit discovery workflows
What you should have:
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, or a related field
- Between one and three years of production-level software development experience
- Prior ML knowledge (i.e., Reinforcement Learning or Active Learning) for predicting measurable properties of biological and/or chemical systems
- Python programming proficiency and experience with ML frameworks like PyTorch
We’d love to hire someone with:
- Familiarity with one of the following areas: molecular dynamics simulation, free energy calculation methods, ligand-based drug design, cheminformatics, quantum mechanics, virtual screening, and/or structured modeling
- Experience with development of relevant commercial and/or open-source computational chemistry software
Pay and perks:
Schrödinger understands it’s people that make a company great. Because of this, we’re prepared to offer a competitive salary, equity-based compensation, and a wide range of benefits that include healthcare (with dental and vision), a 401k, pre-tax commuter benefits, a flexible work schedule, and a parental leave program.
