Senior Machine Learning Engineer - Biomedical AI
London - Hybrid (3 days a week in the office)
We are partnering with an innovative, research-driven biotechnology company that is building next generation AI systems that help identify new therapeutic opportunities and accelerate the drug discovery process.
This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys turning state-of-the-art research into robust, scalable production systems. You'll work closely with AI Scientists from the earliest stages of model development, ensuring that research ideas become reliable, high-performance software used throughout the organisation.
You'll contribute to the design, development and production of large-scale biomedical AI models, bringing engineering expertise into architectural decisions from day one. Working alongside researchers and MLOps engineers, you'll help build production ready machine learning systems that are scalable, maintainable and built to the highest engineering standards.
This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of software engineering, machine learning and biology.
