Job Description

About Us


Deep Genomics is at the forefront of using artificial intelligence to transform drug discovery. Our proprietary AI platform decodes the complexity of RNA biology to identify novel drug targets, mechanisms, and therapeutics inaccessible through traditional methods. With expertise spanning machine learning, bioinformatics, data science, engineering, and drug development, our multidisciplinary team in Toronto and Cambridge, MA is revolutionizing how new medicines are created.

Ideal Candidate


You are a research engineer who bridges the gap between fast-paced, experimental academic ML research and robust production systems. You possess a solid mathematical foundation and a deep understanding of modern ML architectures, combined with the technical skills to write clean and highly optimized PyTorch code. You thrive in ambiguity and are perfectly comfortable diving into messy research scripts to refactor, optimize, and build out the necessary scaffolding. You understand the delicate balance between rapid iteration and technical debt, and you take pride in creating core tooling that empowers research teams to move fast without breaking everything. Above all, you are a critical thinker and collaborative problem solver eager to push the boundaries of research.


Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and Optimize Core Tooling: Build and maintain the engineering infrastructure that allows the research team to iterate rapidly and safely.
  • Bridge Research and Engineering: Refactor and optimize experimental, script-like research code, adding necessary scaffolding and engineering rigor without stifling discovery.
  • Model Implementation: Implement, train, and evaluate modern deep learning architectures using PyTorch.
  • Testing and Debugging: Rigorously test and troubleshoot complex ML systems to ensure both software correctness and optimal computational efficiency.
  • Navigate Trade-offs: Continuously balance the need for research speed with the realities of technical debt, making pragmatic architectural decisions.

  • Basic Qualifications
  • Solid foundational grasp of linear algebra, calculus, and probability.
  • Strong understanding of modern machine learning/deep learning architectures and training dynamics.
  • High proficiency in PyTorch, including model building and basic optimization.
  • Strong general programming skills, with practical experience handling concurrency, threading, and memory management.
  • Demonstrated ability to debug software correctness and computational performance.
  • High tolerance for ambiguity and a willingness to work hands-on with unstructured research code.

  • Deep Genomics encourages applications from all backgrounds who seek the opportunity to build the world's leading AI-driven genetic medicine company. 
     
    If you have a disability or special need, accommodation is available on request for candidates taking part in all aspects of the selection process.
