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.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
