Machine Learning Scientist
Inductive Bio
Senior scientist job in New York, NY
Drug discovery is a prediction problem. Scientists design molecules that they predict will be potent, safe, and readily absorbed into the body, but ultimately lab experiments must be run to know whether these predictions are accurate. Each one of these experiments can take weeks or months to run, and as a result it costs millions of dollars and takes years to design a molecule that is ready for testing in humans.
At Inductive Bio, we're using AI to build
in silico
models that can more accurately predict how molecules will behave in experiments. By predicting complex molecular properties directly from the molecular structure, our platform helps scientists make better decisions faster-ultimately bringing safer, higher-quality medicines to patients more quickly. We are enabled by a unique and growing proprietary data set, and we are already applying our methods to dozens of active drug discovery programs. Backed by leading investors at the intersection of biotechnology and technology and advised by renowned experts in drug discovery, we are growing rapidly and poised to make a major impact in drug discovery.

What you'll do:
Develop machine learning models to predict molecular properties from chemical structures
Develop novel algorithms for generating ideas for new molecules
Build agents that can synthesize complex information from drug programs and apply that information strategically toward molecular optimization
Get your hands dirty by diving deep into our unique, proprietary dataset to iterate on modeling ideas and improve model performance
Collaborate closely with chemists and software engineers to integrate models into our software platform, which is used by drug discovery scientists across the industry
Build and optimize scalable infrastructure for model training, deployment, and monitoring
Engage directly with our scientific users, incorporating their feedback into the product
Contribute meaningfully to product strategy and company direction
