The Opportunity

The Senior Data Science Manager will lead a team that will define and create the datasets and covariates required to train a Virtual Cell model that understands how each cell type functions at a molecular level under healthy conditions, and is able to predict the impact on cells and cell populations of genetic or environmental perturbations. You and your team will partner closely with our Science Program team to partner or generate the required datasets, with Data Engineering and ML Engineering to decide data formats, schemas, and access patterns, and with AI Research to define the annotations, covariates, and quality measures required to use the data.

CZI manages and processes scientific datasets specifically designed to enable biological modeling. We are generating more than 1 billion fully standardized unique cells worth of single cell transcriptomic data, and are building imaging and mass spectrometry data streams which will generate petabytes of data per year. Datasets we produce are ultimately published in public resources such as CELLxGENE Discover and CryoET Portal which provide access to open source data used by tens of thousands of scientists each month to quickly form hypotheses about how genetic variants in cells impact disease risk, define drug toxicities, and eventually discover better therapies.

As the Senior Data Science Manager, you will manage and grow a team of data scientists who are embedded in cross-functional, AI-modeling focused teams and are responsible for leading dataset definition and delivery to support modeling work. Success is measured by the speed with which datasets are available, the ease with which they can be used, the suitability of the dataset to address the modeling task, and the clarity with which data quality is available to the research team.

What You'll Do

• Manage a team of data scientists to create high quality, standardized datasets for biological AI modeling and open-source publishing.
• Hire multiple data scientists who are experts in the data domains that we operate (imaging, sequencing, mass spectrometry)
• Establish systems and processes to ensure agility and responsiveness to emerging needs from the rapidly evolving AI biology space.
• Discover and define new data generation opportunities, and manage the delivery of those data products to our AI team.
• Establish and nurture cross functional teams composed of ML engineers, AI Researchers, and Data Engineers to deliver datasets to train state of the art generative AI models and publish them for public consumption.

What You'll Bring

Compensation

The Redwood City, CA base pay range for this role is $241,000 - $362,000. New hires are typically hired into the lower portion of the range, enabling employee growth in the range over time. Actual placement in range is based on job-related skills and experience, as evaluated throughout the interview process.

Pay ranges outside Redwood City (New York and Chicago) are adjusted based on cost of labor in each respective geographical market.
