Deep Learning Lead – AI-Driven Drug Discovery
3 weeks ago
Pattern is developing a cutting-edge AI drug discovery engine that combines AlphaFold/OpenFold structural predictions, generative molecular design, and reinforcement learning agents to navigate the ~10^60 possibilities in small-molecule chemical space.
We are seeking a Deep Learning Lead to architect, train, and deploy machine learning models for protein–ligand structure prediction, de novo molecular generation, and multi-objective optimization. You will partner closely with our Ligand Design & Pose Prediction Lead to integrate chemical and biological expertise into the model pipeline, ensuring our AI agents produce compounds that are potent, novel, and biologically relevant.
Key Responsibilities
Design and implement deep learning architectures for:
Pocket-conditioned molecular generation (e.g., Pocket2Mol, SE(3)-equivariant GNNs, 3D diffusion models).
Protein–ligand pose prediction (DiffDock, EquiBind, custom SE(3)-transformers).
Multi-objective reinforcement learning for compound optimization (potency, ADMET, novelty).
Fine-tune AlphaFold/OpenFold and related structure models for project-specific targets.
Integrate multi-modal biological context (from the Agentix Knowledge Graph) into generative and scoring models.
Develop and maintain scoring functions for binding affinity, selectivity, ADMET, and synthetic accessibility.
Implement uncertainty estimation and active learning loops to prioritize compound synthesis/testing.
Collaborate with the Ligand Design Lead to:
Translate medicinal chemistry insights into model constraints.
Incorporate wet-lab feedback into model retraining.
Co-develop workflows for real-time human–AI co-design.
Maintain MLOps pipelines for dataset versioning, model deployment, and experiment tracking.
Qualifications Required
PhD or MSc in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Computational Chemistry, Bioinformatics, or related discipline.
2+ years of hands-on experience in deep learning model development, ideally in a scientific or molecular domain.
Strong expertise in generative modeling (transformers, diffusion models, graph neural networks).
Experience with 3D geometric deep learning for molecular structures (SE(3)-equivariant architectures).
Proficiency in reinforcement learning (policy gradients, model-based RL, quality-diversity search).
Strong programming skills in Python with frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow.
Experience in handling molecular datasets (PDB, ChEMBL, binding affinity data).
Preferred
Prior work on protein structure prediction, ligand docking, or molecular property prediction.
Familiarity with cheminformatics toolkits (RDKit, Open Babel).
Experience in integrating wet-lab assay data into active learning loops.
MLOps experience (Docker, CI/CD for ML, MLflow, DVC).
Why Join Us?
You’ll help define the AI engine at the heart of Pattern’s platform, working with cutting-edge molecular AI tools and direct structural chemistry input from our Ligand Design Lead. Your models will power a proprietary agentic search system designed to explore the chemical universe faster and smarter than competitors.
