Job Summary

Iambic Therapeutics is hiring a Machine Learning Scientist II or Senior to add clinically relevant imaging to our Enchant platform. You will design and build models that learn from medical images and combine them with multimodal biomedical data to support drug discovery and clinical decision‑making. This position is remote, with a preference for candidates in Bristol.

Key Responsibilities

  • Evaluate, adapt, and integrate pretrained computer‑vision models—such as Vision Transformers and vector‑quantized encoders—into Enchant’s existing modalities.
  • Locate and curate clinical imaging datasets (radiology, pathology, microscopy, etc.) and set clear benchmarks for model performance.
  • Build reliable data pipelines for large image collections, including ingestion, preprocessing, augmentation, and storage.
  • Convert research prototypes into production services on multi‑GPU/HPC infrastructure and maintain them over time.
  • Collaborate with discovery, pre‑clinical, and clinical teams to turn image insights into experimental and trial strategies.
  • Share results through code, documentation, and internal presentations; mentor colleagues in vision and multimodal ML.

Required Qualifications

  • PhD with 3+ years (or MS with 5+ years) of industry experience in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Biomedical Engineering, or related field.
  • Solid experience with deep learning for images, including self‑supervised pre‑training, Vision Transformers, or vector quantization methods.
  • Hands‑on work with large medical or scientific imaging datasets and establishing evaluation tasks and metrics.
  • Proficiency in PyTorch or JAX and experience running distributed training on GPUs or cloud HPC resources.
  • Strong software engineering habits: version control, testing, continuous integration, code review, and containerization.
  • Clear communication and ability to work 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.

The sector's unique combination of mathematical rigour, computational complexity, and real-world application requirements creates predictable hiring windows that strategic professionals can leverage to advance their careers in developing tomorrow's intelligent systems. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for machine learning job applications in the UK, examining how enterprise AI strategies, academic research cycles, and deep learning initiatives influence recruitment patterns, and why strategic timing can determine whether you join a groundbreaking AI research team or miss the opportunity to develop the next generation of machine learning algorithms.

Pre-Employment Checks for Machine Learning Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

Pre-employment screening in machine learning reflects the discipline's unique position at the intersection of artificial intelligence research, algorithmic decision-making, and transformative business automation. Machine learning professionals often have privileged access to proprietary datasets, cutting-edge algorithms, and strategic AI systems that form the foundation of organizational competitive advantage and automated decision-making capabilities. The machine learning industry operates within complex regulatory frameworks spanning AI governance directives, algorithmic accountability requirements, and emerging ML ethics regulations. Machine learning specialists must demonstrate not only technical competence in model development and deployment but also deep understanding of algorithmic fairness, AI safety principles, and the societal implications of automated decision-making at scale. Modern machine learning roles frequently involve developing systems that impact hiring decisions, financial services, healthcare diagnostics, and autonomous operations across multiple regulatory jurisdictions and ethical frameworks simultaneously. The combination of algorithmic influence, predictive capabilities, and automated decision-making authority makes thorough candidate verification essential for maintaining compliance, fairness, and public trust in AI-powered systems.
