Therefore, we seek individuals with an inclusive mindset and a diversity of thought. Our teams thrive in unstructured and creative environments. All voices are heard because we know that experience comes in many forms, skills are transferable, and passion goes a long way.

If this sounds like an environment you'd love to work in, even if you only have some of the experience listed below, please apply.

The Role

FL97 is seeking experienced, creative, and talented Machine Learning Researchers (LLMs) across Scientist, Senior Scientist, and Principal Scientist levels to join our team. Title will be determined by merit and experience level.

You will be part of an agile, cross-functional team responsible for training state-of-the-art, large-scale models on the scientific corpora, fine-tuning models with feedback (e.g. RLHF/DPO) and integrating multimodal scientific data. Together with biologists, bioinformaticians, software developers, and automation engineers, you will work on reimagining the way scientific research is conducted.

The ideal candidate has a machine learning background, with previous experience building large-scale generative models, complex pre-processing pipelines, and comprehensive benchmarks to support scientific tasks. Mature software engineering skills and familiarity with best practices in software development are also highly desired.

Candidates should have experience and/or interest in:
  • Designing, training, and fine-tuning large language models (LLMs), including the ability to successfully adapt an LLM for use in a specific domain.
  • Leveraging NLP tools to solve real world problems that require sequential decision making.
  • Implementing rigorous testing, documentation, and model benchmarking.
Qualifications:
  1. PhD in computer science, applied mathematics, physics, computational biology or other quantitative disciplines.
  2. 5+ years of experience in developing deep learning and/or NLP models.
  3. Contributions to research conferences or journals (e.g. NeurIPS, ICML, AAAI, ICLR)
  4. Expertise in at least one ML framework (PyTorch/TensorFlow/Jax) and robust experience in the Python data science ecosystem.
  5. Experience in training and deploying ML models on distributed computing services (g. AWS/GCP/Azure, or clusters).
  6. Bonus: Experience with knowledge graphs, prompting techniques (e.g., Chain-of-Thought), RAG, and/or autonomous agents.
  7. Bonus: Incorporating these models into AI-enabled toolchains for the biology lab.

Working at FL97, you would have access to advanced technology in the areas of:
  • AI experimental design and simulation
  • Automated liquid handling and instrumentation
  • Generative molecular design
