The posting

Years from now, history will look back at this moment as a landmark for the human race, the moment generative AI began to change everything. At Loka, our ML crew is in the thick of it, shipping GenAI into production across life sciences, from cutting-edge BioLM models to agentic applications for genetic research companies.

Loka is seeking a Machine Learning Engineer to join our growing team. In this position you'll build and improve machine learning solutions across multiple projects, applying your knowledge of ML and GenAI to deliver robust, scalable systems and refine them over time.

We count more than 100 certified specialists, technical experts and PhDs among our teammates, committed Lokals who bring their brilliance both to client work and to mentoring junior colleagues.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
