The Impact You’ll Make
As a Staff Machine Learning Scientist , you will be contributing to dynamic short to medium term projects that derisk novel capabilities with potential to reshape Recursion’s roadmap. You will conceptualize and and directly contribute to the development of novel ML models across a range of data types including vision, genomics, other Omics and clinical data that will power a diverse range of use cases in drug discovery. By leveraging your experience in machine learning, drug discovery, software engineering, and data, you will:

The Team You’ll Join
You will be joining Inception Labs, a research and development team within Recursion. This team is a cross-functional group of exceptional biologists, engineers, product managers, machine learning scientists, computational biologists, and data scientists. Together, we are working to prove out novel technologies including new biological assays and data modalities, statistical and ML techniques, and computational approaches for multimodal data. This team works rapidly on a project-by-project basis to either prove or disprove the value and feasibility of these new ideas and approaches.
Recursion has built a unique dataset (over 1 million unique biological perturbations profiled in a high-dimensional biological assay, making up nearly 20 PB of highly-relatable data) and a unique approach to phenotypic drug discovery using our inference-based Recursion Map to predict tens of billions of relationships between disease models and therapeutic candidates. Additionally, we’ve generated additional large-scale Omics datasets to complement our phenomics data. Recently, Recursion has also gained access to large numbers of anonymized patient records including medical imaging and molecular profiling artifacts to guide our understanding of disease mechanisms. The capabilities you bring to the Inception Labs team will help us scale our machine learning models using these and other data sets to develop net-new capabilities that don’t currently exist!

The Values That We Hope You Share:
Recursion spends time and energy connecting every aspect of work to these values. They aren’t static, but regularly discussed and questioned because we make decisions rooted in those values in our day-to-day work. You can read more about our values and how we live them every day here.
More About Recursion
Recursion is a clinical stage TechBio company leading the space by decoding biology to industrialize drug discovery. Enabling its mission is the Recursion OS, a platform built across diverse technologies that continuously expands one of the world’s largest proprietary biological and chemical datasets. Recursion leverages sophisticated machine-learning algorithms to distill from its dataset a collection of trillions of searchable relationships across biology and chemistry unconstrained by human bias. By commanding massive experimental scale — up to millions of wet lab experiments weekly — and massive computational scale — owning and operating one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world, Recursion is uniting technology, biology and chemistry to advance the future of medicine.
Recursion is headquartered in Salt Lake City, where it is a founding member of BioHive, the Utah life sciences industry collective. Recursion also has offices in London, Toronto, Montreal and the San Francisco Bay Area. Learn more at www.Recursion.com, or connect on X (formerly Twitter) and LinkedIn.
