At GSK we see a world in which advanced applications of Machine Learning and AI will allow us to develop novel therapies to existing diseases and to quickly respond to emerging or changing diseases with personalized drugs, driving better outcomes at reduced cost with fewer side effects. It is an ambitious vision that will require the development of products and solutions at the cutting edge of Machine Learning and AI. If that excites you, we'd love to chat.
We're looking for a Software Engineer to help us make this vision a reality. Our team focuses on the discovery of preclinical digital biomarkers that translate robustly to clinical outcomes, primarily through computer vision applications. An important outcome of our work is that, while enabling deeper insights into the effects and mechanisms of action of treatments, it also helps to advance the 3Rs framework, a set of principles that guide the ethical and humane use of animals in scientific research.
In this role you will:
- Work with a small team to convert vaguely described biological/drug discovery challenges into well-defined machine learning problems, particularly in the computer vision domain (both images and video).
- Work side-by-side with AI/ML engineers and researchers to determine optimal ways of translating AI/ML concepts into efficient and robust code.
- Execute and deliver full AI/ML driven solutions from sourcing training data, designing and implementing SOTA machine learning models, testing, benchmarking, and product-driven research for model performance improvement, to shipping stable, tested, performant code and services in an agile environment.
- Create, refactor, and maintain an efficient, well-structured codebase.
- Engage with a diverse group of research scientists to help solve complex problems in the preclinical domain.
Qualifications & Skills:
We are looking for professionals with these required skills to achieve our goals:
- Bachelor’s or graduate degree in Computer Science, preferably focused on software engineering, high-performance computing, or machine learning. Candidates not meeting these academic requirements will be considered if demonstrating many years of industry experience in software/machine learning engineering.
- Experienced / Accomplished in software engineering with advanced skills and expertise in best practices for Pythonic programming, for example, refactoring code for efficiency in PyTorch.
- Several years of industry experience in software design or architecture.
- Experience developing services and infrastructure on GCP or similar cloud software.
- Proficiency with standard deep learning algorithms and model architectures.
- Experience in deep learning for computer vision, including but not limited to image segmentation and object detection.
- Advanced level in PyTorch or Tensorflow.
- Experience with devop stacks: version control, CI/CD, containerization, etc.
Preferred Qualifications & Skills:
- Track record of contributing to open-source projects.
- Mentality of commit early and often, metrics before models, and shipping high-quality production code.
- Experience with video analysis and tracking.
- Knowledge in disease biology, molecular biology, and biochemistry.
Why GSK?
GSK is a global biopharma company with a special purpose – to unite science, technology, and talent to get ahead of disease together – so we can positively impact the health of billions of people and deliver stronger, more sustainable shareholder returns – as an organization where people can thrive. We prevent and treat disease with vaccines, specialty and general medicines. We focus on the science of the immune system and the use of new platform and data technologies, investing in four core therapeutic areas (infectious diseases, HIV, respiratory/immunology, and oncology).
Our success absolutely depends on our people. While getting ahead of disease together is about our ambition for patients and shareholders, it’s also about making GSK a place where people can thrive. We want GSK to be a place where people feel inspired, encouraged, and challenged to be the best they can be. A place where they can be themselves – feeling welcome, valued, and included. Where they can keep growing and look after their wellbeing. So, if you share our ambition, join us at this exciting moment in our journey to get Ahead Together.
