Key Responsibilities:

Develop and maintain automated end-to-end machine learning pipelines for protein therapeutic design.

Enable scientists to adopt and use computational tooling through documentation, CLI tools, and hands-on support.

Integrate new scientific tools into containerized environments and deploy them to Kubernetes.

Build and maintain Helm charts, container images, and deployment infrastructure as part of daily workflow.

Develop Python-based tooling and SDK integrations for workflow orchestration.

Collaborate with scientists and engineering leads to identify and build computational tools that accelerate discovery.

Qualifications:

B.S. degree

0-2 Years related experience

Strong Python development skills with experience building production-grade tooling or pipelines.

Working knowledge of Kubernetes, Helm, and container-based deployments.

Experience developing or deploying machine learning pipelines in a production environment.
