Machine Learning Scientist II / Senior

Employment Type: Full-Time Location Type: Remote Salary: [Not Specified]

Position Overview

Iambic Therapeutics is seeking a Machine Learning Scientist II or Senior to enhance its Enchant platform by integrating clinically relevant imaging. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and building models that leverage medical images and multimodal biomedical data to advance drug discovery and clinical decision-making. This is a remote position, with a preference for candidates located in Bristol.

Key Responsibilities

• Evaluate, adapt, and integrate pre-trained computer-vision models (e.g., Vision Transformers, vector-quantized encoders) into Enchant's existing modalities.
• Locate and curate clinical imaging datasets (radiology, pathology, microscopy, etc.) and establish clear benchmarks for model performance.
• Build robust data pipelines for large image collections, encompassing ingestion, preprocessing, augmentation, and storage.
• Transition research prototypes into production services on multi-GPU/HPC infrastructure and ensure their ongoing maintenance.
• Collaborate with discovery, pre-clinical, and clinical teams to translate image insights into experimental and trial strategies.
• Disseminate findings through code, documentation, and internal presentations; mentor colleagues in vision and multimodal ML.

Required Qualifications

• PhD with 3+ years of industry experience, or MS with 5+ years of industry experience, in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field.
• Solid experience with deep learning for images, including self-supervised pre-training, Vision Transformers, or vector quantization methods.
• Hands-on experience with large medical or scientific imaging datasets, including the establishment of evaluation tasks and metrics.
• Proficiency in PyTorch or JAX and experience with distributed training on GPUs or cloud HPC resources.
• Strong software engineering practices: version control, testing, continuous integration, code review, and containerization.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively in cross-disciplinary teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with multimodal transformers.
• Experience aligning image embeddings with molecular or clinical endpoints.
• Contributions to open-source computer-vision or ML projects.
