  • Configure and deploy models (e.g. protein structure, docking, generative models) against real datasets
  • Own pilots end-to-end — from scoping to execution to expansion
  • Debug, adapt, and optimize workflows across compute, models, and data pipelines
  • Partner with product and engineering to turn customer feedback into roadmap inputs
  • Support technical discussions, demos, and deployments across the sales cycle

Ideal Qualifications
