    Description
    The Opportunity

    insitro's approach to rethinking drug development applies innovative data science and machine learning, at scale, throughout the discovery process. As a Research Engineer, you will help implement, validate, and deploy our largest and most complex methods and models.

    We work on a variety of problem domains and datasets, including multi-petabyte collections of high-content biological imaging, genomics, and biomolecular structures.

    To support insitro's work at this scale, our team is passionate about the craft of scientific software engineering, ensuring that our tools, infrastructure, and models are scalable, correct, maintainable, and robust.

    We are looking for an experienced engineer to help us harness the potential of recent improvements in large language models (LLMs) throughout the drug discovery process.

    You will work closely with our data scientists, software engineers, biologists, and laboratory scientists to identify, build, and deploy innovative internal tools and products based on LLMs.

    Potential projects might include providing natural-language data analytics to our scientists, querying scientific literature, or building co-pilots specialized to our ecosystem.

    While not required, some knowledge of biological or chemical data is valuable in understanding the unique requirements and applications of ML to biology and drug discovery.

    About You

    M.S. in computer science, statistics, mathematics, physics, engineering, plus five years additional experience, or equivalent experience (for example, BS plus 7 years experience)

    Experience working with applications of LLMs or other natural-language systems

    Fluency in one or more general-purpose programming languages (strong preference for experience in scientific Python)

    Experience working with teams throughout the full lifecycle of designing, implementing, deploying, and maintaining software, including deploying at least one real-world ML system

    Strong desire to deliver work that aids in pioneering drug discovery

    Nice to Have

    Experience training, shipping, and benchmarking large-scale ML systems, foundation models, or large language models (LLMs)


    Experience with data modalities relevant to drug discovery, such as microscopy, genetics, or natural language, including patient records, and scientific literature.

    Experience working on ML experimentation tooling and platforms

    Experience working with high-performance computing resources, such as GPU clusters

    Past experience working on multi-functional teams

    Previous open-source contributions or publications demonstrating impact in relevant projects

    Compensation & Benefits at insitro

    Our target starting salary for successful US-based applicants for this role is $185,000 - $225,600.

    To determine starting pay, we consider multiple job-related factors including a candidate's skills, education and experience, market demand, business needs, and internal parity.

    We may also adjust this range in the future based on market data.


    This role is eligible for participation in our Annual Performance Bonus Plan (based on company targets by role level and annual company performance) and our Equity Incentive Plan, subject to the terms of those plans and associated policies.

    In addition, insitro also provides our employees:

    401(k) plan with employer matching for contributions

    Excellent medical, dental, and vision coverage (insitro pays 100% of premiums for employees), as well as mental health and well-being support

    Paid parental leave

    Quarterly budget for books and online courses for self-development

    Support to occasionally attend professional conferences that are meaningful to your career growth and development
