Drive the state of the art in scientific computing for life sciences as the Senior Machine Learning Engineer in the Bystro team. Bystro is a next generation tool for genetics, genomics, and other omics research. This individual will lead the development of large language to generate scientific computing code (for example, generating valid genome wide association analyses from a prompt) and improving search experience that augments an existing token and vector-based search engine. Additionally, they will be responsible for driving to development of novel, state of the art statistical models that use Bayesian priors in linear and non-linear generative, regression, and classification settings. We are a small-cross disciplinary team including members of the Wingo Lab, the Cutler Lab, a senior systems software engineer, senior systems administrator, and a frontend developer. Our current expertise spans disease-associations, statistical genetics, genomics, and "big data" analysis, as well as software engineering and systems architecture. The ideal candidate will test different approaches, learn from those experiences, and apply them to the overall goal of simplifying technical portions of analysis so that scientists can spend most of their time coming up with great questions rather than spending most of their time executing them.
