Principal Prediction & Insights Applications Engineer, Small & Large-Molecule Discovery

Bristol Myers Squibb is seeking a Principal Prediction & Insights Applications Engineer to lead their AI/ML initiatives in drug discovery. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, machine learning, and drug discovery, focusing on building cutting-edge applications that accelerate both small-molecule and biotherapeutic invention.

The position offers a unique opportunity to work with state-of-the-art technologies including GenAI, molecular prediction models, and modern MLOps practices. You'll be responsible for developing intuitive software products and robust model-ops practices that help scientists make better decisions and iterate faster in their drug discovery efforts.

As a principal engineer, you'll lead the technical strategy and implementation of AI-native applications, working with technologies like React, Python, FastAPI, and various ML frameworks. You'll be integrating cutting-edge models like AlphaFold and RoseTTAFold, while also building conversational analytics and "copilot" agents using modern GenAI frameworks.

The role offers competitive compensation ($155,000-$170,000) plus benefits, and provides the opportunity to work with cross-functional teams of scientists and engineers. You'll be directly contributing to the development of new therapeutics while working at the forefront of AI/ML technology in the pharmaceutical industry.

This position requires a blend of technical expertise in software engineering and machine learning, domain knowledge in drug discovery, and leadership skills. You'll be working in a hybrid environment across multiple possible locations (San Diego, Princeton, or Cambridge Crossing), contributing to BMS's mission of transforming patients' lives through science.

The ideal candidate will have 10+ years of industry experience (or 7+ with an advanced degree), deep expertise in molecular modeling and AI/ML, and a track record of delivering production-grade applications. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to make a significant impact at the intersection of technology and healthcare.
