The Opportunity
This role is based in New York, NY, offering a hybrid work model (3 day in-office, 2 days remote) and an elite compensation package ranging from $300,000 to $800,000, supplemented by sign-on bonuses, relocation assistance, and full visa sponsorship for qualified candidates.
The Opportunity
The client values an exceptional academic pedigree—typically a PhD or equivalent advanced degree—complemented by a history of pushing the boundaries of machine learning through published research or transformative technical projects.
On their behalf, StaffRight Associates is seeking a visionary Senior Research Scientist Engineer to join a world-class interdisciplinary collective dedicated to revolutionizing the intersection of technology and the life sciences. This role offers the rare chance to utilize massive computational power, including proprietary, custom-built supercomputing hardware, to solve the most complex problems in biophysics. The client welcome candidates of all experience levels, provided there is clear evidence of exceptional technical achievement in large-scale ML.
What You’ll Do
Architect & Scale: Design and deploy sophisticated deep learning frameworks and LLM architectures to accelerate the discovery of transformative therapeutic compounds.
Optimize Workflows: Champion the integration of ML workflows—including pre-training, post-training, and inference—within a custom, high-speed supercomputing infrastructure.
Engineer for Impact: Write high-performance Python code to deploy neural networks that surpass the limitations of traditional quantum chemistry models.
Drive Generative Innovation: Lead the evolution of generative models and multimodal learning to design optimized biological macromolecules and proteins.
Synthesize & Innovate: Collaborate with a diverse team of chemists and biologists to translate cutting-edge LLM breakthroughs into practical, scalable scientific tools.
What You Bring
LLM & Generative Mastery: Proven expertise in developing and training Large Language Models (LLMs), including experience in scaling large model training and optimizing complex inference workflows.
Programming Expertise: Expert-level proficiency in Python (additional coding experience is a significant plus) and standard frameworks like PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow.
Elite Background: A distinguished record of innovation, likely originating from high-impact tech environments (e.g., OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Meta, Anthropic, NVIDIA) or premier academic labs focused on protein language models.
Scientific Versatility: While experience in drug discovery or biomolecular simulation is helpful, no prior scientific background is required for candidates with exceptional ML credentials.
Intellectual Rigor: A desire to work in a high-energy research culture that rewards cross-functional ingenuity and rigorous scientific inquiry.
