• Demonstrated advanced programming expertise in Python and in developing and delivering robust, scalable software solutions.


• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and cloud-native architectures.


• Passion for software design and commitment to the development of reusable, scalable, and testable software components.


• Basic understanding of at least one major deep learning framework (PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow).


• Knowledge of command-line tools and shell scripting.


• Knowledge of software engineering best practices, including continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD), containerization, and infrastructure as code.


• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, and experience working in cluster settings or cloud-based environments.


• Fluency in English.

Preferred Qualifications & Skills

• Familiarity with machine learning principles and state-of-the-art modelling approaches.


• Experience in design, development and deployment of commercial cloud-native software and infrastructure.


• Experience building and deploying large-scale AI models and agentic systems in production environments.


• Experience architecting, developing, and deploying distributed training pipelines for large models with PyTorch or TensorFlow.


• Expertise in performance optimization, cost optimization, and efficient compute resource management in cloud environments.


• Contributions to relevant open-source projects.


• Knowledge or interest in disease biology, molecular biology and medicine.


• Experience working with biomedical data (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, electronic health records, clinical images).
