Senior Machine Learning Scientist - Foundation Models
Apply for this job
About UsSpore.Bio is a deeptech startup founded in 2023 that is redefining microbiological quality control in pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and cosmetics manufacturing. Where Spore.Bio deploys biophotonic and deep-learning technology on factory floors, Spore.Labs takes Spore.Bio's core technology into new territory: from AMR detection to microbiome research and beyond.Spore.Labs is looking for a new talent ready to take real ownership, prototype solutions, build incrementally a robust ML pipeline to train a multimodal foundation model, benchmark SOTA approaches and grow alongside the department they help build.About the RoleData-driven AMR prediction requires access to signals that reveal both the root causes of resistance and the downstream consequences that expose activated pathways. The senior ML scientist will co-build a foundation model mapping multiple modalities (whole genome sequencing, transcriptomics, and proteomics, spectroscopy data, multi-spectral images) to biologically grounded embeddings capturing the state of microorganisms.Working closely with the Spore.Labs ML Coordinator, you will evaluate multimodal integration architectures and propose original approaches that incentivise the model to learn causal relationships aligned with biomolecular rules, leveraging interventional data. You will also reproduce state-of-the-art results from the literature and contribute to model validation campaigns.MissionsCoordinate with ML engineers to contribute in building a foundation model training pipeline at scale on multi-GPU cloud infrastructures.Benchmark AMR prediction approaches from the literature and ensure reproducibility of the resultsDevelop and implement original deep learning models (transformers, graph neural networks, autoencoders) for representation learning from multiple modalities.Maintain an up-to-date knowledge of recent foundation / world model literatureCollaborate closely with microbiologists, omcis experts, computer vision experts, and optical physicists to ensure biological interpretability of AI models.Contribute to scientific...
