About the role
Machine Learning Research Engineer at Relation building and scaling generative and predictive models of cellular behaviour, bridging theory and production-ready ML systems in a multi-omics biology setting.
Responsibilities
- Implement and optimise large models, partnering with ML Scientists to translate research ideas into reproducible, scalable training pipelines.
- Profile and optimise training across compute, memory, and I/O, pursuing measurable gains in throughput, convergence, and stability.
- Design and implement distributed training strategies across multi-GPU and multi-node configurations.
- Build and maintain core ML infrastructure.
- Contribute to architectural and algorithmic decisions, bringing engineering judgment into research discussions.
- Optimise inference and downstream deployment so models can be used by data scientists and biologists in our discovery workflows.
- Address numerical, performance, and reliability issues across the stack.
- Establish and maintain engineering practices in research code.
- Track developments in ML systems and bring relevant advances into our stack.
Qualifications
- A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, or a related quantitative discipline; industry experience as an ML / research engineer working on large neural network training.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals in Python and deep expertise in PyTorch (or equivalent modern ML frameworks).
- Hands-on experience training large neural networks at scale, including distributed training frameworks.
- Demonstrable experience profiling and optimising GPU workloads.
- Working knowledge of cloud-based ML infrastructure and containerised environments.
- A track record of taking research code from prototype to robust, reusable infrastructure that other people actually use.
