Posted Date: Jun 28 2023
At GSK, we are actively working on building a future in which Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) enable us to develop new therapies and personalised drugs that drive better outcomes for patients, at reduced cost, and with fewer side effects. It is an ambitious goal that requires the research and development of solutions at the cutting edge of AI/ML applied to the creation of transformational medicines for the patients we serve. If you would love to be part of making a difference, then consider joining us and applying for our AI/ML Engineer position.
The Applied AI team works to develop tools, models and processes that enable our scientists to create preventative products, to discover ways to treat illnesses and to glean insights from a vast amount of data across multiple modalities. Our team fosters a culture of learning and collegiality. We have a broad portfolio which includes work in the field of computer vision, NLP, data science, machine learning and deep learning. Our Applied AI/ML Engineers empower research scientists with high dimensional computer vision analysis and with up-to-date NLP solutions such as large language models.
The AI/ML Engineer will apply established algorithms and novel solutions that are packaged into user-facing AI products that GSK scientists use in their day-to-day work to accelerate drug discovery. This is an opportunity to make high impact in examples that include improving the decision cycle time for our biopharmaceuticals using data-driven practices and accelerating assets in clinical trials through forecasting. As AI/ML Engineer, you will:

• Competitive candidates will have in-depth knowledge of machine learning with a track record of developing deep learning models for solving challenging real-world scientific problems. They should be comfortable with writing quality, well-documented, and well-tested code in the AI/ML space and operate in an agile environment.
• Evaluate and select product-driven machine learning frameworks, libraries, and tools.
• Communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Stay up to date with the latest research and industry trends in AI/ML.
• Contribute to our developing codebase with well-tested, production-ready code.
• Develop machine learning models and algorithms.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand business needs and translate them into technical solutions.
• Preprocess large scale data to ensure data quality and model accuracy.

Please Note: This is a Hybrid opportunity, and you will work in a 3/2 onsite and remote split.

We’re combining the power of genetic and genomic insights into what causes disease, with the speed and scale of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) to make better predictions about who a treatment might work for, and why. We believe this powerful combination of data and technology holds the key to fundamentally transforming medical discovery for the better, improving R&D success rates and shaping how even the most challenging diseases, like neurological conditions and cancer, can be both prevented and treated.
In 2021 we delivered four major product approvals: Cabenuva for HIV, Jemperli for endometrial cancer, Xevudy for COVID-19 and Apretude, our new long-acting medicine for HIV prevention.
