About KiSoJi

KiSoJi is a next-generation antibody discovery company developing highly differentiated therapeutics for challenging targets in oncology and other diseases. Our proprietary platform combines transgenic mouse technologies, large-scale antibody datasets, and advanced AI methods to accelerate antibody discovery and engineering.

We are expanding our Digital KisoMouse team and are looking for a motivated AI/ML Research Engineer to work closely with our existing AI and computational biology team on antibody generation and optimization projects.

Responsibilities

  • Run, fine-tune, evaluate, and optimize machine learning and deep learning models for antibody and protein generation.
  • Develop and maintain Python-based workflows for model training, inference, and data processing.
  • Work with large biological datasets related to antibodies, proteins, and sequence analysis.
  • Support the development and benchmarking of generative AI models for antibody discovery.
  • Analyze model outputs and help identify promising antibody candidates.
  • Collaborate with AI scientists, computational biologists, and experimental teams.
  • Perform data curation, annotation, quality control, and labeling tasks when required.
  • Document experiments, results, and technical workflows.
  • Stay current with developments in AI, machine learning, protein language models, and antibody engineering.

Required Qualifications

  • MSc, PhD, or equivalent industry experience in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong Python programming skills.
  • Experience with machine learning and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch.
  • Experience training, fine-tuning, evaluating, or deploying AI/ML models.
  • Ability to work independently and in a collaborative research environment.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Highly important: experience with protein, antibody, or biological sequence data would have a great positive impact
  • Familiarity with protein language models, LLMs, GNNs, diffusion models, or other generative AI approaches.
  • Knowledge of antibody discovery, protein engineering, protein structure prediction, or molecular modeling.
  • Experience with cloud computing, Linux environments, and large-scale model training.
  • Background in software engineering and MLOps is an asset.

What We're Looking For

What We're Looking For
