About Katalyze AIKatalyze AI is a rapid-growing AI-driven biotech platform company on a mission to make life‐saving drugs accessible and affordable for everyone. Our AI Agents help pharmaceutical and biotech companies increase production efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize waste. We're a team of humble, fast‐moving, and curious craftspeople working at the intersection of science and AI.About the RoleKatalyze AI is looking for a Senior ML Scientist to design, build, and deploy the core intelligence layer of our platform. You'll work across two interconnected domains: RAG and knowledge retrieval (making our platform reason accurately over large scientific document corpora) and agentic AI systems (building the multi‐step reasoning pipelines that autonomously complete complex tasks for our biopharma and manufacturing customers).This is a research‐forward role with direct impact on production. You'll go from reading a paper to shipping a production system; sometimes in the same week.Design and build advanced RAG pipelines for scientific knowledge retrieval: chunking strategies, embedding model selection, hybrid search, re‐ranking, and rigorous retrieval evaluationDevelop and maintain Knowledge Graph architectures (Neo4j, ontologies, semantic structures) that capture domain relationships and give agents deep understanding of biopharma and manufacturing workflowsArchitect agentic workflows using LangChain/LangGraph or custom orchestration: designing autonomous,



multi‐step reasoning pipelines for complex enterprise tasksBuild the "skills layer" that allows agents to execute domain‐specific tasks reliably, with proper validation, auditability, and error handling for high‐stakes regulated environmentsAdvance entity extraction and knowledge representation: building systems that turn unstructured scientific documents into structured, queryable domain knowledgeDesign and run rigorous evaluation frameworks to benchmark agent reliability, RAG accuracy, and model consistency — define what "good enough to ship" looks likeStay current with ML research (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL) and identify applicable advances; translate them from paper to productionCollaborate with the Data Science, Engineering, and Product teams to integrate ML components into customer‐facing featuresWhat We're Looking For4+ years of applied ML research or engineering experience, with production deployments under your beltDeep RAG expertise: chunking, embedding models, vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector), hybrid retrieval, context window optimization, and evaluation methodologyHands‐on experience with Knowledge Graph construction (Neo4j, RDF/OWL, property graphs) and graph‐based reasoningProficiency with agent frameworks: LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGPT, CrewAI, or custom orchestration — and real opinions on their limitationsExperience with PyTorch or JAX; familiarity with Hugging Face ecosystemPhD or Master's in Machine Learning, NLP, Computer Science, or related field preferredDomain knowledge in life sciences, biopharma, chemistry, or industrial processes is a significant advantageLLM Providers: Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock #J-18808-Ljbffr
