ML Scientist / Researcher
Oncology AI · Foundation Models · Life Sciences
Remote
About the Role
We are building foundation models trained on human tumor biology – one of the most consequential and technically demanding challenges at the intersection of AI and medicine. As an ML Scientist, you will be a core research contributor designing and training these models across multimodal omics datasets, partnering closely with biologists and fellow research scientists to advance the state of the art in oncology AI.
This is a research-forward role for scientists who want their work to matter. We are looking for people with a track record of research excellence – those who have gone deep on model architecture, training dynamics, and rigorous experimental design. If you have built models from the ground up and published findings, we want to talk.
What You’ll Do
- Design and train large-scale foundation models on multimodal biological datasets, including genomics, transcriptomics, and other omics modalities
- Collaborate deeply with computational biologists, research scientists, and domain experts to translate biological questions into tractable modeling problems
- Drive the full research lifecycle: hypothesis formation, experimental design, model development, and rigorous analysis of results
- Contribute to agentic AI systems that reason over complex biological data
- Communicate findings internally and, where appropriate, through peer-reviewed publication
What We’re Looking For
Must-Haves
- Strong research background, typically evidenced by a PhD in machine learning, computational biology, statistics, physics, or a related quantitative field – or equivalent industry research experience
- Demonstrated ability to build and train models end-to-end, including experimental analysis and iteration
- Research excellence: first-author publications at top ML, AI, or computational biology venues are a strong positive signal
- Deep familiarity with foundation model concepts: pretraining, self-supervised learning, attention mechanisms, and large-scale training
- Comfort working at the intersection of biology and machine learning – even without a formal biology degree
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with biological or omics data (genomics, proteomics, pathology imaging, etc.)
- Prior work in multimodal learning or multi-omics integration
- Familiarity with agentic AI systems or tool-use frameworks
- Background in oncology or disease biology
What This Role Is Not
This is not a production ML engineering or MLOps role. We are not looking for candidates whose primary experience is model deployment, serving infrastructure, or engineering-heavy systems work. The emphasis here is firmly on research depth and model development.

About the Role
This is a high-visibility, high-impact individual contributor role sitting at the intersection of machine learning, clinical data science, and translational biology. You will lead the company’s drug response prediction work – one of the most consequential and technically demanding initiatives in our portfolio.
This is not a pure research role, and it is not a pure engineering role. It requires someone who can move fluidly between rigorous quantitative analysis and the realities of working with large, messy, real-world datasets – someone who can apply state-of-the-art methods without losing sight of what actually works in practice.
The Problem We’re Solving
There are thousands of drugs that work – but only for a small subset of patients, and we largely don’t know why. We are building a systematic engine of understanding between drugs and biology: one that can decode the relationship between a patient’s biology and their response to treatment, and translate that into insights that immediately improve care.
This is foundational, mission-critical work. The person in this role will directly shape how we approach this problem – the methods we use, the data we bring to bear, and the analytical frameworks we build. It is an opportunity to have genuine scientific and clinical impact.
What You Will Do
Drug Response Prediction
- Lead the design and execution of computational approaches to predict drug response across patient populations
- Develop and validate predictive models using real-world clinical data, integrating diverse data modalities
- Identify biological and clinical signals that differentiate responders from non-responders
- Translate modeling outputs into actionable biological and clinical insights
Data & Analysis
- Work extensively with real-world data (RWD) – EHR, claims, clinical trial data – at scale
- Build robust analytical pipelines that handle messy, heterogeneous, and incomplete data
- Apply appropriate statistical frameworks to ensure rigor and reproducibility
- Contribute to the development and evolution of internal data infrastructure and analysis tooling
Modeling & Methods
- Apply and adapt state-of-the-art ML methods – including causal inference, survival analysis, and multi-omics integration – to biological and clinical problems
- Balance methodological sophistication with practical performance constraints
- Evaluate trade-offs between model complexity, interpretability, and real-world utility
- Stay current with the literature and bring relevant advances into the team’s practice
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with biologists, clinical scientists, and data engineers to design studies and interpret results
- Communicate findings clearly across both technical and non-technical audiences
- Contribute to a collaborative, intellectually rigorous team culture
What We’re Looking For
Required
- PhD in a quantitative discipline – computational biology, biostatistics, bioinformatics, computer science, physics, statistics, or a related field; open to diverse backgrounds
- Fluent in Python – comfortable writing clean, well-structured code for data analysis and modeling
- Real-world data experience – hands-on work with EHR, claims, or other large-scale clinical datasets
- Ability to work with messy data at scale – experience wrangling, cleaning, and extracting signal from imperfect data
- Strong quantitative intuition – both in modeling design and in interpreting results critically
- Industry experience – 4+ years; 6+ preferred, ideally with both large pharma/biotech and startup exposure
- Mission-driven – genuinely motivated by the opportunity to improve patient outcomes through better science
Strongly Preferred
- Experience with causal inference methods (propensity scoring, instrumental variables, difference-in-differences, etc.)
- Background in statistics, epidemiology, or biostatistics alongside ML
- Familiarity with pharmacogenomics, multi-omics, or translational biology
- Experience contributing to or extending data infrastructure and analysis frameworks
- Track record of working across interdisciplinary teams (biology, chemistry, clinical)
- Startup experience – comfort with ambiguity, ownership, and moving quickly
Background & Experience Profile
We are open to a wide range of PhD backgrounds – what matters most is strong quantitative and analytical foundations, genuine intellectual curiosity, and the ability to work rigorously with complex biological and clinical data. Prior biology experience is not required, but candidates with some exposure to biological or clinical domains will be viewed favorably.
The ideal candidate has spent time in both large pharma/biotech (where they developed rigor and depth) and a startup environment (where they developed speed and ownership). If you haven’t done both, a trajectory that moves toward increasing independence and scope is what we’re looking for.
