About the role
- We have built a highly efficient product-driven organization where employees can learn, grow, and thrive in a challenging but encouraging environment.
- The ideal candidate will have experience in data science and machine learning, with a background in working with multiomic and single-cell data and/or image processing and computer vision.
- This role will report to Vice President, AI and will be an onsite role at our headquarters in San Diego.
Responsibilities
- Deploy and maintain production-grade neural network models on cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS) or directly on imaging instruments, ensuring reliability, scalability, and performance
- Develop and manage end-to-end ML pipelines - from data ingestion and preprocessing through model training, validation, and inference
- Analyze and interpret single-cell and multiomic data to support biological context and downstream interpretation of imaging results
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including biology, software engineering, and instrumentation to co-design experiments and translate biological requirements into modeling objectives
- Knowledge of experimental design and statistical analysis
- This role involves creating, exploring, and analyzing models, as well as applying advanced image processing techniques to drive our research and development efforts and contribute to critical programs.
Requirements
- Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or a related field with 5-7 years of relevant experience, or PhD with 0-3 years of experience
Nice to have
