## About the Role

* Strong background in Machine Learning with 5+ years of industry or research experience building ML systems.
 * Expert proficiency in Python and standard ML libraries (PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX) and ecosystem tools.
 * Demonstrated experience designing and training Generative Modeling architectures (VAEs, GANs, diffusion models, autoregressive models, etc.).
 * Solid understanding of core ML fundamentals: probability, optimization, representation learning, and model evaluation.
 * Experience deploying ML models to production, familiarity with MLOps tools and workflows (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, model monitoring).
 * Proven software engineering skills: version control, testing, code reviews, and clear documentation.
 * Experience working with large datasets, feature engineering, and scalable data pipelines (Spark, Airflow, or similar) is preferred.
 * Strong communication skills and experience collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver measurable results.
 * Nice to have: experience with Biomolecular Simulation or applying ML to molecular/biophysical problems.
 * Nice to have: experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and GPU-accelerated training environments.

## Description

* Design, implement, and optimize state-of-the-art generative models (e.g., VAEs, GANs, diffusion models) for real-world applications.
 * Write production-quality Python code, develop reusable model components, and maintain clean, well-tested repositories.
 * Lead end-to-end ML projects: data preprocessing, model training, hyperparameter tuning, evaluation, and deployment.
 * Collaborate closely with research scientists and domain experts to translate scientific objectives into scalable ML solutions.
 * Build and maintain data pipelines and infrastructure to support large-scale training and inference workloads.
 * Deploy and monitor ML models in production using MLOps best practices (CI/CD, containerization, monitoring, and rollback).
 * Profile and optimize model performance and inference latency for CPU/GPU environments, including mixed-precision and model compression techniques.
 * Mentor and review code for junior engineers, contribute to team standards, and evangelize reproducible research practices.
 * Document models, experiments, and deployment procedures to ensure cross-team transparency and knowledge transfer.
