Role brief
What this role is asking for.
POSITION SUMMARY: We are seeking a Staff Machine Learning Scientist โ Translational AI to provide technical leadership at the intersection of deep learning foundation models, computational biology, and molecular diagnostics. This ownership role drives the architecture and validation of genomic, transcriptomic, and multimodal sequence models to accelerate patient stratification, target identification, and therapeutic monitoring across our cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and multi-omic platforms. This Staff-level position operates with broad technical autonomy, driving modeling strategy across multiple concurrent portfolios while maintaining direct execution responsibilities in model compilation, scaling, and testing. Working within a builder framework, you will align across AI Research, Bioinformatics, and Clinical Science divisions to transition advanced representation learning models into reproducible, clinically valid diagnostic assets. PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES: Scientific Leadership in Translational AI Serve as the principal technical authority on the deployment of molecular, genomic, and pathology foundation models applied to oncology and translational medicine questions Engineer rigorous alignment and post-training workflows that ground pre-trained foundation models in empirical clinical trial and molecular diagnostic data, eliminating speculative modeling assumptions Formulate obj...
