The Opportunity
Machine learning lies at the core of insitro's approach to rethinking drug development. We've built a TherML Platform that uses AI to accelerate pan-modality therapeutic discovery from hit-finding through lead optimization. Our innovative approach enables us to rapidly design therapeutics against internally discovered novel targets, with models powered by some of the industry's largest and most comprehensive datasets.
We're looking for a
Machine Learning Scientist
who will be hands-on using our TherML platform to drive design on multiple oligonucleotide therapeutic programs while directly contributing to the development of our platform and ML models. This role offers an opportunity to translate cutting-edge ML into real-world impact on drug discovery. This role will report to the

- Collaborate with software engineering teams to build robust pipelines for active/iterative learning and automated DMTL cycles
- Directly shape the roadmap for our TherML platform's evolution
Integrate AI To Drive Our Oligonucleotide Discovery Programs
- Collaborate cross-functionally with machine learning scientists and oligonucleotide scientists to design and prioritize novel compounds using model outputs
- Apply predictive models and AI-enabled design methods to solve real molecular optimization challenges across multiple therapeutic programs
- Track performance of our on-target knockdown and off-target models on discovery programs and translate those insights into model improvements
- Communicate model capabilities, results, limitations, and recommendations clearly to diverse stakeholders in regular discovery team meetings
About You
- PhD in computational biology, computer science, machine learning, cheminformatics, or related field
- 0-3+ years of industry experience applying machine learning to oligonucleotide therapeutic discovery
