Machine Learning Scientist, Generative Molecular Design (Material Discovery)

Introduction to the team: The AI Simulation (AI Sim) division at SandboxAQ applies physics and AI simulation to problems in drug discovery and the material sciences. You will work within a highly skilled, multidisciplinary team of computational chemists, physicists, AI experts, and software engineers, on a generative platform that is used across both application areas.

Introduction to the role: We are looking for a Machine Learning Scientist to help build the generative engine at the centre of SandboxAQ's material discovery work. The platform finds compounds that match a desired property profile by navigating chemical space while balancing multiple competing objectives. You will: (1) implement, extend, and optimize frontier generative architectures for material discovery; (2) own the interface between the generative engine and the property predictors that supply its reward signal; (3) identify, ingest, and quality-control the data these models are trained and evaluated on; and (4) turn the models you build into production capability that discovery scientists across the company can run.
