ML Research Engineer, Foundation Models (Senior / Staff / Principal)

ML Research Engineer, Foundation Models About the Team Join a world-class team at the forefront of AI and biochemistry. At Genesis Molecular AI, we’re a tight-knit team of proven deep learning researchers, software engineers, and drug discovery pioneers. Our shared mission is nothing short of revolutionary: to forge the next generation of AI foundation models that unlock new therapies for patients with severe diseases. We conduct fundamental research at the intersection of machine learning, physics, and computational chemistry, pushing the boundaries of each field. The Genesis AI team is building the engine for this revolution. We develop large-scale generative models trained across the full spectrum of molecular data, supported by extensive compute infrastructure and simulation pipelines. The work sits at the intersection of machine learning research, structural biology, and computational chemistry, requiring deep technical rigor and strong interdisciplinary collaboration. About the Role This role is for a highly skilled ML Research Engineer who thrives at the intersection of fundamental research and production-grade engineering. As a core member of the Genesis AI team, you will serve as the engineering pillar for inventing, scaling, and shipping our next generation of foundation models for molecular science. You will partner closely with ML researchers, computational [... source excerpt omitted ...] aining pipelines Advancing reinforcement learning or post-training systems Optimizing performance of large molecular models Bringing structure prediction models like Pearl into production environments used by chemists and drug programs This role requires someone who can bridge ML and computational chemistry, translating between disciplines and helping teams move quickly from research insight to deployed capability. We are looking for someone who can own problems end-to-end, in a fast-moving research environment, translating novel ML ideas into systems that scientists can use in active discovery programs.
