Description
At Inceptive, you will drive forward development that could help billions of people. You will be part of a collaborative, interdisciplinary team building our biological software.
The design space of biomolecules is unimaginably vast , far beyond what can be explored experimentally. Yet within this space lie molecules with properties essential for new medicines. Our machine learning models learn to design therapeutic biomolecules with specific, desirable functions.
We advance the state of the art in molecular design by training large-scale foundation models and developing cutting-edge generative approaches. The models learn from diverse heterogeneous datasets and are refined through focused fine-tuning and feedback from experiments. Key to progress is a team that combines exceptional machine learning expertise with thorough domain understanding.
You will collaborate closely with other machine learning researchers and engineers, as well as computational and experimental biologists, to advance these models and translate their capabilities into real therapeutic designs.
Responsibilities
- Embody our vision of an interdisciplinary environment and embrace learning about areas outside of your traditional area of expertise
- Develop, implement, train, and iteratively improve state-of-the-art models for biomolecule design
- Analyze, visualize, and communicate results to support team efforts in improving models and data
- Create, deploy, and refine tools for efficient, reliable machine learning experimentation and production
- Work with biologists to collect data for the training and evaluation of generative models of biomolecules
- Provide mentorship and technical direction to team members as appropriate
Qualifications
- 3+ years of hands-on experience developing ML models
- Demonstrated track record of implementing, training, improving advanced machine learning models
- Highly capable programmer fluent in Python ecosystem and PyTorch or similar deep learning framework
- Availability to work with team members across US and Europe, with meetings starting at 8am PT and ending at 7pm CET
- Readiness to travel several times a year for company retreats and business events
Compensation
$200K – $275K + Bonus + Equity
Benefits
- A competitive compensation package

- A buddy to help you get settled
At Inceptive, we are creating tools to develop increasingly powerful biological software for the rational design of novel, broadly accessible medicines and biotechnologies previously out of reach. Our team brings together vast expertise in molecular biology, machine learning, and software engineering, and we are all working towards becoming interdisciplinary, meaning we deepen the knowledge we have in our area of expertise while also expanding our knowledge of completely new fields.
