Senior ML Software Engineer

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK''s leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.About AqemiaAqemia is a next-generation pharmatech reinventing drug discovery with quantum-inspired physics and generative AI.Our mission: design innovative small-molecule drug candidates for dozens of critical diseases, faster and smarter, without relying on experimental data.Unlike traditional approaches, Aqemia starts drug discovery purely in silico. By combining physics-based models with large language models trained on proprietary data, we identify promising molecules with high accuracy before synthesis.We''ve already delivered multiple preclinical successes and secured strategic partnership. Our internal pipeline is growing fast, with several programs in in vivo optimization.We''re a team of 65+ based in Paris and London, we bring together chemists, physicists, engineers, and machine learning experts to push the boundaries of what''s possible in early-stage drug discovery.The RoleAs a Senior ML Software Engineer in the DH Team, you will focus on building and scaling the platform-facing product that manages the full lifecycle of Aqemia''s predictive models, our core scientific assets.You''ll scale and industrialize ML/deep learning models developed by research scientists, so they can be efficiently served to our Drug Hunter community.You will play a critical role in the development, deployment, and maintenance of single predictors, ensuring they are robust, reproducible, and seamlessly integrated into the platform that drives our drug discovery engine.This role is deeply technical and foundational to our platform''s performance, reliability, and scalability.What you''ll doDesign and implement ML product and infrastructure to support the training, evaluation, deployment, and versioning of predictive modelsIndustrialize and optimize ML/deep learning models developed by scientists, making them scalable and cost-efficient in productionCollaborate closely with scientists to integrate diverse predictors (physics-based, AI-based, hybrid) into the platformEnsure reproducibility, traceability, and performance of model pipelines across the full lifecycleDevelop APIs and tools that expose predictors as scalable services to other teamsContribute to software engineering best practices across the ML stack (testing, CI/CD, observability)Partner with platform engineers and product stakeholders to ensure technical alignment and deliveryWhat we''re looking for6+ years of experience in software engineering with strong focus on machine learning systemsDeep proficiency in Python and ML ecosystem (e.g. PyTorch, scikit-learn, MLFlow)Solid understanding of data and model lifecycle management, versioning, and deploymentExperience building ML infrastructure and model-serving pipelines in production environmentsFamiliarity with cloud-based architecture (AWS preferred), containerization (Docker), and orchestration toolsAbility to work autonomously and lead initiatives with high technical ownershipStrong communication skills and ability to work closely with scientists and engineers alikePreferred mindsetYou care about building solid foundations for ML at scaleYou combine scientific curiosity with software engineering rigorYou enjoy tackling complexity and finding elegant, maintainable solutionsYou thrive in a cross-functional, fast-moving environment where models meet productionWhy Join UsAt Aqemia, engineers don''t just build software, they help discover real drugs.You''ll work at the intersection of AI, physics and chemistry, transforming bold scientific ideas into robust, production-grade tools that accelerate discovery.DeepTech Mission :
