Machine Learning Scientist (Contract → Full-Time Potential) Location: Remote (Contract) Duration: 3–6 month contract (with potential to convert to full-time) Company: Stealth-stage MedTech (AI in Oncology) About the Company Our client is rapidly scaling, stealth-stage medtech company applying advanced AI to transform cancer care. Founded in late 2025 and led by experienced operators and researchers, we are building proprietary, data-driven models to improve cancer surveillance, diagnosis, and treatment decision-making. Our work is powered by rich longitudinal patient datasets, with strong in-house expertise in genomics. We are not focused on traditional imaging AI—instead, we tackle complex, multimodal clinical data to drive real-world impact in oncology. The Opportunity We are looking for exceptional AI Researchers / ML Engineers to join us on a high-impact contract basis (3–6 months) to accelerate model development across large-scale patient datasets. You will work closely with our Head of AI and core research team, contributing to the design, development, and deployment of models for: • Risk prediction, • Patient outcome modeling, • Clinical decision support High-performing contractors will be considered for full-time roles as we expand our team in Boston later this year. What You’ll Do • Design, build, and evaluate machine learning models on large-scale longitudinal patient datasets (e.g., EHR), • Develop models for risk stratification and outcome prediction in oncology, • Work with multimodal data (clinical, genomic, and other structured/unstructured sources), • Own the end-to-end ML lifecycle: data processing, experimentation, validation, and deployment, • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including AI researchers, engineers, and domain experts, • Translate research insights into production-ready systems What We’re Looking For Core Requirements • Strong background in machine learning and ML engineering, • Experience working with real-world healthcare data, especially: Electronic Health Records (EHR), • Longitudinal patient datasets, • Proven ability to design and run rigorous experiments, • Experience deploying models into production environments, • Strong programming skills (Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow, etc.) Preferred / Differentiators • Experience with genomics or multimodal biomedical data, • Track record of publications in top-tier venues (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, Nature, Science), • Experience in healthcare AI, medtech, or clinical data environments, • Background in statistical modeling, causal inference, or time-series analysis Who You Are • A hands-on builder who can move quickly from idea → experiment → production, • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, early-stage environment, • Able to balance research depth with engineering execution, • Motivated by applying AI to high-impact problems in healthcare Why Join Us • Work on cutting-edge AI problems in cancer care with real-world impact, • Access to proprietary, high-quality patient datasets, • Collaborate with a world-class AI and genomics team, • Flexible contract structure with clear path to full-time, • Join early and help shape a high-growth company pre-public launch
