About the team


We are an Agile team that uses knowledge graphs and machine learning in collaboration with our scientists to help develop better drugs faster, choose the right treatment for a patient and run safer clinical trials.

The team is a wide mix, including Software Engineers, Machine Learning Engineers, Data Scientists, Ontologists and Bioinformaticians.

We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to be embedded within our team and become a core pillar of our work.


About the role
We are seeking a knowledgeable and passionate Machine Learning Engineer to join our team.


At the core of our work lies systems biology, it drives the design of our data products, our analytical pipeline and our machine learning approaches.

In this role, you will play a crucial part in weaving together experimental data coming from multiple experimental modalities and our in-house knowledge graph to make the best out of modern machine learning developments for drug discovery.


As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will have the freedom to unleash your creativity and leave a lasting impact by shaping our engineering and scientific strategies.

Our supportive and encouraging environment will provide the necessary resources to thrive and excel in your work.


What you will do:


Your focus will be to design and build innovative machine learning systems to support our scientists in the development of new drugs.

A special emphasis will be given to graph-based techniques and other higher-order data structures and methodologies.


Objectives of this role:


  • Collaborate closely with chemists, biologists and other scientists to design and implement computational strategies for analysing complex biological datasets, including genomics, proteomics and other omics data.
  • Implement data preprocessing, feature extraction and dimensionality reduction techniques to enhance the quality of input data for machine learning models.
  • Contribute to the design and optimization of experiments, ensuring the collection of highquality data for analysis.
  • Create and maintain pipelines for data processing, analysis, and visualization, ensuring reproducibility and scalability.
  • Stay uptodate with the latest advancements in computational biology, machine learning, and related fields, and integrate innovative methods into our research projects.
  • Collaborate with crossfunctional teams to present findings, share methodologies and contribute to project discussions.
  • Contribute to scientific publications, conference presentations and grant proposals.

What you'll need:


  • Ph.
D. or Master's degree in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Computer Science or a related field.

  • Strong foundation in computational biology, genomics and molecular biology concepts.
  • Proven expertise in machine learning techniques, including but not limited to deep learning, supervised and unsupervised learning, and feature selection.
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, R, and experience with relevant libraries and frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikitlearn).
  • Experience with processing and analysing largescale biological datasets (e.g., nextgeneration sequencing data, singlecell data, proteomics data).
  • Familiarity with data visualisation tools and techniques to effectively communicate results to both technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
  • Excellent problemsolving skills and the ability to think critically about experimental design and data interpretation.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team.

Bonus points:


  • Publication record in relevant scientific journals or conference proceedings is a plus.
  • Experience working with graphs, graph analytics and network science in general.
