Your Role

Osmo is looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to join our rapidly growing team. Osmo is building an operating system for smell, and the machine learning (ML) platform plays a very important part of modeling and simulating the molecular properties in the real world. We need you to join our world-class and interdisciplinary team to build our capabilities and drive cutting-edge research that can lead to a different future for humanity. You will be a member of the engineering team, reporting to the Head of Engineering.

What you will be doing:

• Improve the performance (speed/accuracy) of our ML platform that spans on a wide range of molecular chemistry problem, especially concerning olfaction.
• Stay up to date with the machine learning literature, especially for their application in molecular chemistry and olfaction, and quickly prototype ideas from the research field.
• Dive deeply into various datasets, understand their characteristic and derive meaningful train and test data for real-world machine learning models and their deployment.
• Develop innovative model architectures and creative data featurizations to take advantage of available data and unlock new ML capabilities.
• Work closely with software engineers and product managers to strengthen the operating system for scent with our ML platform.

What we need to see:

• A strong software engineer who produce high quality code and take pride in their work.
• Comfortable with linear algebra and statistics.
• Experienced in applying machine learning techniques to real-world problems with frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
• Interested in learning about molecular chemistry and the biology of olfaction.
• Experience with Bayesian Statistics and Probabilistic Modeling
• Willingness to work in our New York City office 2-5 days a week or travel to New York ~2 times a quarter to work with the team in person
• US work authorization

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experiences in graph neural networks and their application in cheminformatics problem.
• Work or educational background in chemistry or neural olfaction.
• Familiar with cloud tooling for machine learning at scale.
