The successful candidate will join a vibrant and growing research team. This is an applied research role, and you will work with software engineers to integrate research efforts into practical capabilities that can operate at the scale and speed required by Spacetime's production systems., * Specify, research, design and develop scalable optimization algorithms for large, complex resource allocation problems. * Apply techniques from machine learning, integer optimisation, metaheuristic, or other algorithms to improve solution quality and computational efficiency. * Collaborate with researchers and engineers to translate research into commercial product capabilities. * Evaluate new approaches against realistic problem sizes, constraints, and performance requirements. * Publish at leading international conferences and contribute to patent applications. * Develop and maintain documentation related to novel algorithms developed by the team., Own and expand customer relationships across the Western United States for a cloud-based healthcare genomics platform. Drive adoption, usage, and account growth within hospitals, laboratories, and healthcare organizations; identify expansion opportunities; navigate complex stakeholder groups; provide account support; and partner with sales teams on customer meetings and commercial development. The field-based role requires approximately 30-40% territory travel. ## Related Videos - [Geometric deep learning for drug discovery](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/264-geometric-deep-learning-for-drug-discovery) - [Alibaba Big Data and Machine Learning Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/37-alibaba-big-data-and-machine-learning-technology) - [Photonic Computing: Programming a New Class of AI Accelerators (incl.
