Isomorphic Labs (Greenhouse alt)biotech
Isomorphic Labs is applying frontier AI to help unlock deeper scientific insights, faster breakthroughs, and life-changing medicines with an ambition to solve all disease.
The future is coming. A future enabled and enriched by the incredible power of machine learning. A future in which diseases are curtailed or cured starting with better and faster drug discovery.
Come and be part of an interdisciplinary team driving groundbreaking innovation and play a meaningful role in contributing towards us achieving our ambitious goals, while being a part of an inspiring and collaborative culture.
The world we want tomorrow is the one we’re building today. It starts with the culture at this company. It starts with you.
About Iso
Isomorphic Labs (IsoLabs) was launched in 2021 to advance human health by building on and beyond the Nobel-winning AlphaFold system. Since then, our interdisciplinary team of drug discovery experts and machine learning specialists has built powerful new predictive and generative AI models that accelerate scientific discovery at digital speed.
Our name comes from the belief that there is an underlying symmetry between biology and information science. By harnessing AI’s powerful capabilities, we can use it to model complex biological phenomena to help design novel molecules, anticipate how drugs will perform and develop innovative medicines to treat and cure some of the world’s most devastating diseases.
We have built a world-leading drug design engine comprising AI models that are capable of working across multiple therapeutic areas and drug modalities. We are continually innovating on model architecture and developing cutting-edge capabilities to advance rational drug design.
Every day, and with each new breakthrough, we’re getting closer to the promise of digital biology, and achieving our ambitious mission to one day solve all disease with the help of AI.
Your impact
This is an exciting opportunity to join the data team at IsoLabs. You will work alongside Data Curators, Engineers, AI experts, and Drug Discovery scientists to drive the analytics that underpin our drug design engine.
As a Data Scientist focused on platform analytics, you will be responsible for capturing and analysing data to understand how our technology and drug design processes are performing. You will provide the robust data science expertise needed to turn business intelligence into actionable insights, helping Product, Data, Engineering, Research, and Drug Discovery teams make the best possible decisions to accelerate the delivery of new medicines.
What you will do
- Analyze business intelligence data to provide robust and insightful outputs that drive decision-making across product, engineering, and research teams.
- Partner with the Engineering, Product, and drug discovery teams to implement telemetry and traceability, ensuring we capture drug design intent and metadata effectively.
- Design and track key metrics (KPIs) to evaluate if we are building the most efficient drug design engine and progressing towards our long-term goals.
- Conduct internal and external benchmarking on Machine Learning model performance and drug discovery processes.
- Identify bottlenecks in the end-to-end delivery system to optimize real-world delivery.
- Collaborate with engineering to build an analytics layer that supports generalizable drug design and helps determine the impact of our models on success rates.
Skills and qualifications
Essential:
- Strong background in statistics and data analysis.
- Strong coding skills in Python and SQL including experience using data science toolkits such as NumPy, SciPy, or Pandas.
- Proven experience in a data science or platform analytics role ideally in a drug discovery company.
- Experience defining and measuring metrics for engineering or product performance (e.g., efficiency, bottlenecks, KPIs).
- Familiarity with the early drug discovery process.
- Ability to communicate complex data insights to a diverse range of stakeholders, including engineers and scientists.
Nice to have:
- Familiarity with data engineering concepts and experience with running jobs on Cloud-based infrastructure.
Culture and values
We are guided by our shared values. It's not about finding people who think and act in the same way. These values help to guide our work and will continue to strengthen it.
Thoughtful
Thoughtful at Iso is about curiosity, creativity and care. It is about good people doing good, rigorous and future-making science every single day.
Brave
Brave at Iso is about fearlessness, but it’s also about initiative and integrity. The scale of the challenge demands nothing less.
Determined
Determined at Iso is the way we pursue our goal. It’s a confidence in our hypothesis, as well as the urgency and agility needed to deliver on it. Because disease won’t wait, so neither should we.
Together
Together at Iso is about connection, collaboration across fields and catalytic relationships. It’s knowing that transformation is a group project, and remembering that what we’re doing will have a real impact on real people everywhere.
Creating an extraordinary company
We believe that to be successful we need a team with a range of skills and talents. We're building an environment where collaboration is fundamental, learning is shared and every employee feels supported and able to thrive. We value unique experiences, knowledge, backgrounds, and perspectives, and harness these qualities to create extraordinary impact.
We are committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of sex, race, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding) or any other basis protected by applicable law. If you have a disability or additional need that requires accommodation, please do not hesitate to let us know.
Hybrid working
It’s hugely important for us to share knowledge and build strong relationships with each other, and we find it easier to do this if we spend time together in person. This is why we follow a hybrid model, and would require you to be able to come into the office 3 days a week (currently Tuesday, Wednesday, and one other day depending on which team you’re in). If you have additional needs that would prevent you from following this hybrid approach, we’d be happy to talk through these if you’re selected for an initial screening call.
