The posting

We advance science so that we all have more time with the people we love.

As an imaging-focused machine learning engineer within the AI Enablement team, you will be working closely with folks that span the gamut across computational scientists, biologists, bench scientists, AI/ML experts, product leaders, software engineers, and everyone in between. Your work will help bridge scientific intuition with quantitative analysis, enable richer phenotypic analysis, and provide new multimodal capabilities across large-scale, state-of-the-art datasets. You'll build, own, and constantly improve scalable AI/ML and computer vision systems that unlock the potential of our diverse scientific imaging data (e.g., microscopy, digital pathology, biomedical imaging, etc), accelerating the discovery and development of life-changing treatments for patients.

The Opportunity:

· Design, develop, and test robust, scalable, and maintainable AI/ML scientific web applications and backend pipelines tailored for high-throughput scientific imaging data processing and visualization.

· Build, evaluate, and fine-tune state-of-the-art computer vision and deep learning models (e.g., cell segmentation, cell classification, phenotypic profiling, tissue segmentation, feature extraction, and image registration) applied to biological and clinical imaging modalities.

· Build tools to evaluate AI/ML and vision model performance, establish benchmark datasets, and quantify model quality, robustness, and drift over time.

· Partner with product managers, bioimage analysts, and research scientists to understand user workflows, shape requirements, and translate complex scientific imaging needs into actionable technical specifications.

· Develop and maintain scalable cloud infrastructures and data pipelines for collecting, structuring, storing, and accessing large-scale multi-dimensional imaging datasets (e.g., OME-TIFF, Zarr, HDF5).

· Optimize GPU memory footprint, batching, and inference throughput for large image pipelines and deep neural network models.

· Contribute to architectural decisions, code reviews, and the evolution of engineering and MLOps processes for computer vision models.

· Be willing to span the full stack and contribute where needed, even outside of core areas of expertise.

· Stay up-to-date with emerging computer vision technologies and industry best practices while promoting a culture of continuous learning, collaboration, and curiosity.

Who You Are

· PhD, Master’s with 3–5 years, or Bachelor’s with 4–7 years experience with a degree in Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computational Biology, or a related technical field with focus on machine learning engineering and computer vision.

· Strong proficiency with AI/ML frameworks and computer vision libraries (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenCV, MONAI, Scikit-Image, torchvision, Napari, or Bio-Formats).

· Deep expertise in computer vision algorithms (e.g., CNNs, Vision Transformers, UNet, SAM/Segment Anything, Cellpose).

· Expert knowledge of machine learning theory, image processing fundamentals, object detection, instance segmentation, and quantitative image analysis.

· Demonstrated experience working with high-dimensional scientific imaging data (e.g., fluorescence/brightfield microscopy, digital pathology whole slide images, high-content screening, multiplexed imaging, etc).

· Strong knowledge of GPU acceleration, parallel computing, CUDA, and ML performance optimization for large image datasets.

· Experience with Kubernetes, relational databases, NoSQL databases, object storage, and cloud-native architectures in public clouds (ideally AWS).

· Proven understanding and application of software engineering best practices, CI/CD, and MLOps principles.

· Excellent communication skills and ability to build trusted partnerships with scientific collaborators, bioimage analysts, and cross-functional teams.

· Ability to quickly acquire new technologies, domain knowledge, and programming languages with a passion for continuous learning.

Preferred Qualifications

· Experience with multi-modal data fusion (combining scientific imaging with genomics, transcriptomics, or clinical tabular data).

· Experience working directly with biomedical scientists or in a pharma/biotech research environment.

· Experience with workflow automation, GenAI, Vision-Language Models, and/or AI agents.

Onsite presence on our South San Francisco campus is expected for at least 3 days a week.

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.
