Job Title: Molecular AI Machine Learning Engineer
Location: London
Salary: £60,000 to £85,000 DOE
A well-funded life science technology company is looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to help build, deploy, and optimise machine learning systems for molecular and protein applications.
This is a role for someone who enjoys making ML systems work in practice. You will bridge cutting-edge research with production-ready software, working closely with ML scientists and computational chemists to ensure models are scalable, reliable, and efficiently integrated into scientific workflows. The work spans training and optimisation through to deployment and production monitoring across cloud and HPC environments.
