Director of Machine Learning

BigHat Biosciences is seeking an exceptional player-coach to serve as Director of Machine Learning. Reporting to the CIO, you will own the technical direction, and a meaningful share of the hands-on execution, of BigHat's machine learning capabilities and the growing domain of machine learning operations, including agent development and how agents automate and extend our internally built computational platform and force multiply the impact of our teams.

We are looking for someone with genuine theoretical depth and the vision to say where ML-driven antibody design should go next. Your team will develop state-of-the-art antibody property models with the goal of iteratively improving our antibody designs and you’ll own the proof points that demonstrate the impact of these models. You’ll build agent services to bolster the agility and impact of our teams and work with frontier AI labs to adapt LLMs to new agentic antibody design challenges. As our platform value grows, so does our opportunity to create new and valuable platform partnerships. You will be accountable for the ML that differentiates our therapeutic programs, and for the modeling capabilities we put in front of data and model partners.

At BigHat, we only declare success upon synthesis of real antibodies with drug-like properties that improve patient outcomes. This is a rare opportunity to run frontier ML within a one-of-a-kind production platform, with an automated high-throughput wet lab generating the data to fuel it.
