Applied AI Engineer
About the role
About the Role
Advisory & Solution Design
- Provide tailored guidance to business units on AI/ML use cases, feasibility, model selection, and deployment options, particularly in scientific domains without active AI/ML engineering efforts.
- Co-design prototypes and proof-of-concepts (PoCs) with product and domain teams to validate ideas quickly and de-risk larger investments.
- Translate complex stakeholder requirements into well-scoped technical solutions with clear success criteria and handover plans.
Model Development & Deployment
- Build, train, evaluate, and iterate on ML models for real-world scientific and business problems—including but not limited to NLP/LLM applications, knowledge graphs, causal inference, computer vision, and predictive modeling.
- Package trained models into production-ready services (APIs, containerized deployments) using GSK’s cloud infrastructure (GCP/AWS/Azure).
- Develop and maintain agentic AI systems, multi-agent architectures, and LLM-based tools where appropriate.
- Share reusable patterns, baseline models, and tested pipelines for common AI/ML tasks.
- Embed privacy, ethics, and regulatory considerations into every engagement from the outset.
Knowledge Transfer & Enablement
- Run workshops, seminars, and hands-on training sessions to increase AI literacy across the organization.
- Embed within business/research units for time-limited engagements (typically 6–8 weeks) to accelerate delivery and transfer skills.
- Communicate relevant issues, requests, and opportunities from business units back to AI/ML product leads.
Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Statistics, Engineering, or a related quantitative discipline; OR equivalent professional experience as a software/ML engineer.
- 2+ years of professional experience developing and deploying machine learning models (with a Bachelor’s); 2+ years with a Master’s or PhD.
- Expertise in Python, including ML/data science libraries (PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, scikit-learn, pandas, numpy).
- Experience with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Strong understanding of ML fundamentals: supervised/unsupervised learning, deep learning, model evaluation, feature engineering, and experiment tracking.
- Experience working in cross-functional teams and communicating technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience working in healthcare, pharma, or biological domains.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in pharma, biotech, or life sciences—particularly in drug discovery, genomics, clinical data, or biological data analysis.
- Hands-on experience building LLM-based applications, agentic AI systems, RAG pipelines, or multi-agent architectures (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen).
- Experience with knowledge graph construction, causal inference, or large perturbation models.
- Familiarity with single-cell RNA-seq, spatial transcriptomics, CRISPR assay data, or other high-dimensional biological datasets.
- Experience with MLOps practices: CI/CD for ML, model monitoring, experiment tracking (MLflow, Weights & Biases), and reproducible research workflows.
- Contributions to open-source ML/AI projects or peer-reviewed publications in applied ML.
- Background or demonstrated interest in responsible AI, AI ethics, or model governance.
- Strong software engineering practices: version control (Git/GitHub), code review, testing, and documentation.
- Experience evaluating and integrating third-party AI/ML vendor tools and platforms.
