Join us to be a part of the AI revolution!

As a Senior Research Engineer you’ll be a part of the BioAI department, in collaboration with research engineers and computational geneticists from the BioAI team. You will be leading and contributing to the development of new approaches in; cancer genomics research with deep learning; and possible downstream related domains, by applying your technical, analytical, research, and management skills. You will understand the underlying bioinformatics tools and follow the latest developments in machine learning at scale to identify the right technologies and set the directions to solve the problems, improve the existing solutions and take part in the deployment of their solution. You will lead and collaborate with a multi-functional team, experiment with different approaches, analyse and communicate the results, in order to deliver proof of concepts, and ensure continuous improvement and maintenance for validated solutions. You will also be responsible for writing high-quality, maintainable, well-documented, and modular software libraries.
