The team engages in applied research and then helps productize this work.

What you will be doing:

• Prototype and build deep learning algorithms for Genomics, Proteins, Small Molecules, and Docking

• Design metrics for and assist with the evaluation of model predictions and results

• Know the latest research and identify ways to capitalize on new advancements, either as applied research projects or by directly integrating into product development

• Collaborate with multiple AI infrastructure and research teams

• Find opportunities to incorporate advances in the field and other NVIDIA products into our infrastructure

What we need to see:

• 10+ years of proven experience

• Completed a MS or PhD Degree in a quantitative field such as Statistics, Physics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Mathematics (or a related field), or equivalent experience

• Expertise in deep learning and machine learning

• Strong experience with Python libraries for data science analysis (e.g. NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib) and deep learning (PyTorch or TensorFlow)

• Interest in life sciences problems such as Genomics, Protein modeling, Small Molecule modeling, and/or Docking

• Recognition for technical leadership contributions, capable of self-direction, and willingness to learn from and teach others

• You should display strong communication skills, be organized and self-motivated, and play well with others (be an excellent teammate)

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd:

• Experience implementing deep learning models for Genomics, Proteins, small molecule generation, and/or docking

• Background with open source development

• Experience with C/C++, CUDA, docker

• Experience with transformer-based NLP models, graph based deep learning models, and/or geometric deep learning models

• Relevant publication history and/or conference attendance
