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.
