We are looking for a Machine Learning Scientist to build AI and machine learning systems that turn complex biological data into actionable scientific insight. You will work at the intersection of ML, genomics, causal biology, and target discovery. The role includes building models, agentic AI workflows, systems that help automate analysis, reasoning, and decision support, and AI assisted tools that help connect genotype, cell state, perturbation, phenotype, and disease mechanism. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys writing clear, reliable code, uses modern AI tools to move faster, and wants their work to shape real biological and therapeutic decisions.
Encourage respectful disagreement and cultivate open-minded, ego-free interactions to continuously push each other towards excellence
Seek out diverse perspectives; practice active listening and genuine curiosity to ensure all contributions are valued, regardless of source
Recognize the impact of your behavior, language and attitudes, and strive for balanced, meaningful exchanges that enhance mutual growth and understanding in all interactions
Use a company-first mindset to guide decision-making; prioritize team over individual success
Take calculated risks and challenge convention in the quest for exceptional outcomes
