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.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Machine Learning Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you’re applying for machine learning engineer, applied scientist, research scientist, ML Ops or data scientist roles, hiring managers scan applications quickly — often making decisions before they’ve read beyond the top third of your CV. In the competitive UK market, it’s not enough to list skills. You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio. This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.
