Job Opportunity: ML Research Engineer / Scientist
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a ML Research Engineer / Scientist based in the United Kingdom.
About the Role
Join a research-driven team building next-generation AI models designed to understand complete CT studies rather than isolated findings.
- You’ll work on foundation models, vision-language learning, and multi-finding detection using medical imaging data at unprecedented scale.
- Your research will have a direct path from experimentation to regulatory submissions, hospital deployment, and real-world patient care.
- You’ll own models and experiments end to end, from developing the initial idea through training, evaluation, calibration, and production readiness.
- You’ll work alongside experienced ML engineers, software engineers, and fellowship-trained radiologists across multiple clinical specialties.
- The role combines deep technical research with practical impact, giving you the opportunity to solve challenging problems in medical AI with exceptionally rich real-world data.
- This is a fully remote opportunity for an independent researcher who wants their work to move quickly from the lab into clinical practice.
Accountabilities
- Design, develop, train, and evaluate machine learning models capable of interpreting complete CT studies at the study level.
- Research foundation-model approaches for medical imaging, including 3D and volumetric learning at large scale.
- Develop and investigate vision-language models that connect medical images with the terminology and reporting patterns used by radiologists.
- Build models capable of identifying and prioritizing multiple urgent clinical findings simultaneously while maintaining safe and clinically appropriate operating points.
- Design and execute independent experiments, from hypothesis formation and architecture selection through training, evaluation, and analysis.
- Develop custom architectures, training pipelines, loss functions, and distributed training approaches using modern deep learning frameworks.
- Analyze model performance rigorously and establish reproducible evaluation methodologies suitable for clinically consequential AI systems.
- Work closely with fellowship-trained radiologists to understand clinical requirements, interpret results, and translate research findings into practical model improvements.
- Contribute to models and research that progress toward regulatory submissions, clinical deployment, and real-world patient use.
- Take ownership of research projects end to end and make informed decisions about which experiments and approaches are most likely to deliver meaningful improvements.
- Collaborate with ML and software engineering teams to move successful research from experimentation toward robust, deployable systems.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Requirements
- Strong practical experience with modern machine learning and deep learning, particularly using PyTorch for custom architectures, training loops, and experimentation.
- Deep understanding of why machine learning architectures, objectives, optimization strategies, and training approaches work, rather than relying solely on existing implementations.
- Demonstrated ability to independently formulate hypotheses, design experiments, interpret results, and iterate toward better models.
- Strong understanding of rigorous experimentation, evaluation, reproducibility, and model validation.
- Experience working with large-scale datasets and distributed training environments is highly valuable.
- A strong interest in solving technically challenging problems where model performance and reliability have meaningful real-world consequences.
- Ability to work effectively with researchers, engineers, and clinical experts in a collaborative environment.
- Medical imaging, 3D computer vision, or volumetric-data experience is advantageous but not required.
- Experience with vision-language models or self-supervised learning is a plus.
- Familiarity with DICOM, CT imaging, radiology, or other medical-data formats and workflows is beneficial.
- A PhD, research publications, or a strong academic research background is a plus, but not a prerequisite.
- Prior medical-AI experience is not required; a willingness to learn clinical concepts directly from radiology experts is valued.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work independently in a fully remote environment.
Benefits
- Fully remote position open to candidates worldwide.
- Location-flexible compensation with a cash-weighted base salary determined according to the local market in the country where you work.
- Specific compensation range for your location shared early in the hiring process.
- No equity included in international offers, with compensation structured transparently around local-market cash pay.
- Opportunity to work with a real-world CT dataset covering approximately 10 million patients, paired with radiology reports.
- Direct collaboration with fellowship-trained radiologists across areas including chest, body, MSK, neuro, and oncology.
- Opportunity to work on research that can progress from experimentation to FDA submissions, hospital deployments, and patient care within months.
- Exposure to large-scale foundation models, vision-language learning, distributed training, medical imaging, and clinically focused AI evaluation.
- High degree of ownership over research ideas, experiments, models, and technical direction.
- Opportunity to work alongside researchers and engineers with significant contributions to medical AI, open datasets, algorithms, and clinical AI systems.
- A small, research-oriented team where successful ideas can move quickly from research into production.
