In our mission to stay ahead of the curve, we are proud to partner with firms such as BioNTech SE, Google DeepMind, NVIDIA Elite Service Delivery Partner,  Google Cloud Partner, and Intel, and world-class universities as MIT, Oxford, UCL, and Imperial College London. 

Are you a Bio-Engineer who develops software applications and data pipelines, in collaboration with other team members? In this role at InstaDeep, you will report to the Head of Machine Learning.

If so then keep reading…. 

As a Bio-Engineer you’ll be a part of the Bio AI Team. 

The Bio-Engineer  must accomplish the following:  

• Design, implement and deliver complex pieces of research and engineering as part of a multi-functional Clinical Engineering team.
• Manipulate and evaluate large and complex medical datasets with privacy constraints.
• Developing, and operating data integration pipelines to provide high-quality datasets for analytical and machine learning use cases.
• Coordinate with internal teams from local and international offices 
• Create solid and self-explanatory documentation.
• Continuously improve our algorithms and approaches. On this note, we encourage thinking outside the box and want our employees to challenge the status quo.
• Won’t do easy, and be inspired and proud of your work.
• Research-driven aptitude toward addressing yet unsolved problems on the frontier of AI and life sciences.

Requirements: 

• Master's or PhD degree in BioInformatics, computational biology, computational biophysics, or computational immunology.
• Knowledge and experience working with medical data in compliance with data protection law.
• Relevant areas of experience might include, but are not limited to, direct application of molecular dynamics or other computational methods to drug discovery, investigation of allosteric interactions or other functionally important conformational changes in biological molecules, structure/design prediction for proteins, analysis of effects of mutations on protein function and interactions, sequence/-or-/structure based evaluation of protein-based signalling, modelling of protein-protein interactions, or study of fundamental biophysical problems, such as protein folding.
• Basic understanding of (or wish to acquire) molecular mechanisms involved in human immunity and signalling.
• Familiarity with standard bioinformatics tools and methods in protein research such as protein bioinformatics, homology detection, comparative protein structure modelling, protein-protein docking, protein structure refinement
• Experience with protein structure modelling (e.g. ROSETTA) and simulation (e.g.  GROMACS) is a big plus.
• Basic understanding of machine learning.
• Ability to understand and write python code.
• TDD, version control, and release notes follow best practices of team software development.
• Solid understanding of biology and biochemistry and ability to explain it to non-experts.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Experience in communicating with users, other technical teams and management to collect requirements, identify tasks, provide estimates and meet production deadlines.

We also welcome candidates with less computationally-oriented backgrounds, but with hands-on experience in any and all of the following areas:

• Antibody discovery and design.
• Enzyme optimization.
• Immune function assays.
• Drawing actionable insights from protein binding affinity assays.

Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion commitments

We empower individuals to celebrate their uniqueness here at InstaDeep. Our team comes from all walks of life, and we’re proud to continue to encourage and support applicants from underrepresented groups across the globe. Our commitment to creating an authentic environment comes from our ability to learn and grow from our diversity, and how better to experience this by other than by joining our team? 

At present we operate in a hybrid way allowing work from home or work from the office as per each individual’s preferences. We are continuing to review the situation with the well-being of InstaDeepers at the forefront of our minds.
