We've made good progress here, but need someone who can get it over the finish line. - Build an internal data infrastructure that allows us to iterate on data science experiments to create new Innovation Biomarkers - Work with our team to evaluate and benchmark different models and pipelines to classify innovators, resolve entities across datasets, generate high quality matches for innovation search, and more - Occasionally work across the stack (React / Next, Python, Postgres) if you're interested in branching out You're a great fit if you: - Have experience with Python, Postgres, and general ETL pipelines / infrastructure (AWS, Modal, Airflow) - Take your craft seriously and own your work - Aren't afraid of getting into the weeds - Work well asynchronously but appreciate the occasional meeting to iron out any blockers Bonus points if you: - Enjoy reading about machine learning & data science or have trained and deployed models in the past - Have an interest in the biotech innovation space Drop me a note at ashish.uppala@portalinnovations.com if you're interested, or know anyone that'd be a good fit :)
