At GSK, we see a world in which advanced applications of Machine Learning and AI will allow us to develop transformational medicines using the power of genetics, functional genomics, and machine learning. AI will also play a role in diagnosing and using medicines to enable everyone to do more, feel better, and live longer. This ambitious vision will require developing products at the cutting edge of Machine Learning and AI

We’re seeking a highly skilled software engineer to help us realize this vision. We are building a first-in-class platform with tools and services covering high performance computing, model training and deployment, metrics calculation and metadata instrumentation; our goal is to decrease AI/ML cycle times and raise the quality bar on our shipped services by simplifying platform integration and accelerating R&D end-to-end

Competitive candidates will have a track record of designing, building and shipping high-quality, well-documented and well-tested software – preferably in the AI/ML industry. They should be comfortable with modern, cloud-native computing such as the Docker/Kubernetes/Helm ecosystem, distributed systems, or high-performance computing environments. Candidates should have a strong sense of the abstractions needed to represent ML products and workflows and have demonstrated experience in database design, operations, and microservice development. Strong candidates will have graduate studies in Computer Science, or equivalent demonstrated work experience. An educational or professional background in the biological sciences is a plus, but it is not required.

The AI/ML team is built on the principles of ownership, accountability, continuous development, and collaboration. We hire for the long term and are motivated to make this a great workplace. Our leaders will be committed to your career and development from day one.
