About the role

  • Contribute to shaping and executing the Valthos-wide research and development roadmap
  • Visualize and communicate results clearly within Valthos and externally
  • Work with customers and external collaborators to understand their needs and effectively represent Valthos

Responsibilities

  • Identify large-scale biological datasets appropriate for training frontier biological models, and build workflows and infrastructure for processing these datasets
  • Design wet-lab experiments to evaluate the efficacy and real-world utility of designed biologics
  • Collaborate closely with AI engineers to design and train models tailored to tasks in biological security and precision biologics

Requirements

  • Experience planning and running in silico computational biology experiments
  • High proficiency in Python and its scientific package ecosystem
  • Experience with bioinformatics sequence analysis tools (e.g., aligners)
  • Experience with cloud computing platforms (e.g., AWS)
  • Experience working with experimental biologists to plan and interpret the results of wet-lab experiments
  • Proven ability to design, implement, and evaluate novel methods in computational biology
  • Experience with ML-centric bioinformatics and structure-based tools (e.g., AlphaFold)
  • Knowledge of biological databases (e.g., NCBI)
  • Experience with machine learning model training and evaluation
  • Contributions to open-source projects

Nice to have

  • Experience analyzing biological datasets, ideally sequence-based modalities (e.g., genomic, protein, metagenomic)
