Senior Machine Learning Software Engineer, Research at Physicsx

Note: We are currently recruiting for multiple positions across different levels, however please only apply for the role that best aligns with your skillset and career goals.

What you will do

• Shape Research group strategy and culture in a significant way, especially in domains of expertise.
  • Be opinionated and formulate strategy on engineering topics relevant to our Research priorities, especially on: scaled engineering, securing compute, infrastructure stack.
  • Define necessary profiles to execute this strategy.
  • Promote effective working patterns and proactively flag issues with team dynamics to foster a productive environment.
  • Nurture younger colleagues to grow their skillset and guide their professional development.
• Own Research work-streams at a high-level to deliver outcomes.
  • Align priorities with problem stakeholders, internal and external.
  • Set the technical direction for the stream and apply judgement and taste to drive progress.
  • Plan roadmaps with clear milestones for key decisions and outcomes.
  • Organise and guide the more junior members of the team to effectively execute and deliver against this roadmap.
  • Communicate purpose and key outcomes to raise awareness across the company and create opportunities for use and deployment.
• The below activities in particular.
  • Work closely with our research scientists and simulation engineers to build and deliver models that address real-world physics and engineering problems.
  • Design, build and optimise machine learning models with a focus on scalability and efficiency in our application domain.
  • Transform prototype model implementations to robust and optimised implementations.
  • Implement distributed training architectures (e.g., data parallelism, parameter server, etc.) for multi-node/multi-GPU training and explore federated learning capacity using cloud (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and on-premise services.
    • Work with research scientists to design, build and scale foundation models for science and engineering; helping to scale and optimise model training to large data and multi-GPU cloud compute.
  • Identify the best libraries, frameworks and tools for our modelling efforts to set us up for success.
  • Discuss the results and implications of your work with colleagues and customers, especially how these results can address real-world problems.
  • Work at the intersection of data science and software engineering to translate the results of our Research into re-usable libraries, tooling and products.
  • Foster a nurturing environment for colleagues with less experience in ML / Engineering for them to grow and you to mentor.

What you bring to the table

• Enthusiasm about developing machine learning solutions, especially deep learning and/or probabilistic methods, and associated supporting software solutions for science and engineering.
• Ability to work autonomously and scope and effectively deliver projects across a variety of domains.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to analyse issues, identify causes, and recommend solutions quickly.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills — with teams and customers alike.
• MSc or PhD in computer science, machine learning, applied statistics, mathematics, physics, engineering, software engineering, or a related field, with a record of experience in any of the following:
  • scientific computing;
