Role overview
The Role
Join our team and help build the world's first biological reasoning model. Work with us to build generative foundational models that decode biological systems across scales - from molecules to organisms - enabling us to predict, understand, and program living systems in ways never before possible.
Output is currently in stealth, operated by a team of repeat founders and biotech veterans with multiple exits in AI x Bio, and backed by top-tier VCs including Y Combinator.
As a Machine Learning Engineer, you'll work alongside our founders and team members to develop and implement cutting-edge AI systems capable of complex biological reasoning across multiple scales.
- You will build foundational models for biology capable of reading and writing biology at scale
- You will develop deep generative models for biological applications, exploring innovative architectures to capture the complexities of multi-scale biological systems
- You will work on distributed training systems to scale our models to billions of parameters, optimizing for performance and efficiency across multi-GPU and multi-node setups while handling large-scale biological datasets
- You will engineer efficient data pipelines to manage and process massive biological datasets, addressing challenges in data loading, splitting, and memory optimization
- You will develop and implement robust evaluation frameworks for complex biological models, ensuring data integrity and preventing leakage across dataset splits
What we're looking for
- You have experience applying machine learning to biology or chemistry
- You have contributed to open-source machine learning projects or published research papers in the field of AI/ML
- You have experience optimizing machine learning models for high-performance computing environments
- You are familiar with ML-Ops practices and tools for managing ML experiments and deployments
