Overview
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is a science-led global healthcare company with a special purpose: to help people do more, feel better, live longer. We are on an audacious journey to impact the health of 2.5 billion people over the next decade. Our R&D division is at the forefront of this mission, dedicated to the discovery and development of groundbreaking vaccines and medicines. We are transforming the landscape of medical research by integrating cutting-edge science and technology and harnessing the power of genetics and new data. By fostering a collaborative environment that unites the talents of our people, we are revolutionizing R&D to pre-empt and defeat diseases. Join us in our commitment to uniting science, technology, and talent to get ahead of disease together.
Position Summary
At GSK we see a world in which advanced applications of Machine Learning and AI will allow us to develop novel therapies to existing diseases and to quickly respond to emerging or changing diseases with personalized drugs, driving better outcomes at reduced cost with fewer side effects.

β’ Cloud experience (e.g. Google Cloud and cloud run preferred) including core web application infrastructure
β’ Strong skills in Python
β’ Unit testing experience (e.g. pytest)
β’ IaaS knowledge (e.g. Terraform) including best practices for module development

β’ Demonstrated experience of Python backend development (e.g. using FastAPI)
β’ Demonstrated experience with biological or scientific data (e.g. genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics), or pharmaceutical industry experience
β’ Knowledge of AI/ML approaches and deployment of AI/ML powered applications β especially using language models or NLP
β’ Experience with Kubernetes and Google Kubernetes Engine would be an advantage
β’ Some experience with frontend software development (e.g. React)
