Preference for on-site candidates in San Mateo, but remote possible.
BigHat is hiring a Principal ML Scientist. We've got an awesome high-throughput wetlab that pumps proprietary data into custom ETL and ML Ops infra to power our weekly design-build-train loop. Come solve hard-enough-to-be-fun problems in protein engineering in service of helping patients!
Successful candidates will contribute to building and deploying AI-powered systems, including automated code generation, smart agents, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) frameworks, and tools that integrate cutting-edge AI with scientific software and machine learning research. These systems aim to support drug discovery programs, increase research productivity, and improve the quality and efficiency of ML model training through intelligent data workflows and feedback loops. Candidates should have a strong interest in artificial intelligence (specifically, generative and agentic AI), with responsibilities spanning end-to-end system design: from idea conception and rapid prototyping to production-scale deployment. They should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where innovation, experimentation, and rigorous software engineering are all valued, but specific knowledge of any of these areas is less critical than intellectual curiosity, versatility, and a track record of achievement and innovation in the field of AI.
