Develop scientific tools by creating Python wrappers and API definitions that allow models to execute specific tasks (e.g., molecular property calculation, database queries).
Build backend services using modern web frameworks (FastAPI/Flask) to serve agent capabilities to internal platforms.
Implement data pipelines for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), ensuring models have access to up-to-date proprietary scientific data.
Maintain infrastructure by writing Dockerfiles, setting up CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring automated testing for agent components.
Integrate models into the execution environment, handling inference requests and validating structured outputs.
Write high-quality code that is modular, well-tested, and adheres to the team’s software engineering standards.
Collaborate closely with computational scientists and subject matter experts on designing and evaluating targeted agents for drug discovery.
Contribute to frontier research related to agentic use in scientific scenarios.
Who You Are
Education: BS/MS with 1–4+ years of experience, or PhD graduates with strong software engineering skills.
Software Foundation: Strong proficiency in Python and standard software engineering practices (Git, testing, CI/CD).
LLM Application Development: Experience building applications that utilize LLMs, with an understanding of embeddings, prompt engineering, and function calling.
