Director of Engineering (ML Platform)
As the Director of Engineering for ML Platform, you will lead the strategic direction and operational excellence of platform teams enabling the training and serving of large foundation models in biotech. This highly influential role involves mentoring engineering managers and individual contributors, overseeing core platform development, and driving technical infrastructure strategy to accelerate cutting-edge drug design research.
Isomorphic Labs (IsoLabs) was launched in 2021 to advance human health by building on and beyond the Nobel-winning AlphaFold system. Since then, our interdisciplinary team of drug discovery experts and machine learning specialists has built powerful new predictive and generative AI models that accelerate scientific discovery at digital speed. Our name comes from the belief that there is an underlying symmetry between biology and information science. By harnessing AI’s powerful capabilities, we can use it to model complex biological phenomena to help design novel molecules, anticipate how drugs will perform and develop innovative medicines to treat and cure some of the world’s most devastating diseases. We have built a world-leading drug design engine comprising AI models that are capable of working across multiple therapeutic areas and drug modalities. We are continually innovating on model architecture and developing cutting-edge capabilities to advance rational drug design. Every day, and with each new breakthrough, we’re getting closer to the promise of digital biology, and achieving our ambitious mission to one day solve all disease with the help of AI.
Reporting directly to the VP of Engineering, you will be responsible for the strategic direction, execution, and operational excellence of our Platform teams, which are enabling training and serving of the largest foundations models in biotech. These teams include Technical Infrastructure, Training, Inference, Research Platform and Inference Platform. This is a highly influential role that requires a blend of deep technical expertise, strong leadership capabilities, and a passion for fostering a high-performance engineering culture. Your work has the potential to accelerate cutting edge research in the drug design space.
We are guided by our shared values. It's not about finding people who think and act in the same way. These values help to guide our work and will continue to strengthen it.
Thoughtful at Iso is about curiosity, creativity and care. It is about good people doing good, rigorous and future-making science every single day.
Brave at Iso is about fearlessness, but it’s also about initiative and integrity. The scale of the challenge demands nothing less.
Determined at Iso is the way we pursue our goal. It’s a confidence in our hypothesis, as well as the urgency and agility needed to deliver on it. Because disease won’t wait, so neither should we.
Together at Iso is about connection, collaboration across fields and catalytic relationships. It’s knowing that transformation is a group project, and remembering that what we’re doing will have a real impact on real people everywhere.
