Machine Learning Engineer

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. What we are looking for * MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Engineering, Computational Biology, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience * Strong Python software engineering skills * Hands-on experience with PyTorch and modern ML frameworks * Experience deploying machine learning models into production environments * Knowledge of MLOps, containerisation, Docker, cloud platforms, CI/CD, and model serving * Experience optimising model training and inference for performance and scalability * Ability to work independently in a fast-moving, multidisciplinary environment Particularly strong candidates will also have * Experience working with molecular, protein, structural biology, or chemistry datasets * Familiarity with graph neural networks, geometric deep learning, or transformer-based models * Experience with distributed training, GPU optimisation, or high performance computing * Knowledge of molecular representations, protein structures, or computational chemistry Why this role You will be working at the intersection of machine learning engineering and life science, in a team that includes computational chemists, structural biologists, and ML scientists. The problems are genuinely hard and the domain is one of the most exciting applications of ML in science today. This role requires existing right to work in the UK. Visa sponsorship is not available.
