At GSK, we are using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to develop new therapies and personalized drugs that drive better outcomes for patients at reduced cost with fewer side effects. Because the datasets we use and algorithms we build at each step of the drug development journey have safety and ethical implications for our patients, GSK has a dedicated team working on the responsible use of AI in healthcare. If this excites you and you want to be part of our growing team, we would love to chat.

We are looking for ML and software engineers with a track record in developing production grade software solutions, who can collaborate closely with our AI/ML engineers and researchers. Ideal candidates are outstanding software engineers with in-depth knowledge in modern software craftsmanship practices and a keen interest in ethical and safety aspects of using AI in biomedical applications and the clinic.

The Responsible AI team is built on the principles of ownership, accountability, continuous development, and collaboration. We hire for the long term, and we are motivated to make this a great place to work. Our leaders will be committed to your career and development from day one. We strongly encourage applications from people with diverse and underrepresented backgrounds and perspectives.
