ML Scientist
Pioneers innovative ML techniques and builds foundation models for clinical information extraction and synthesis from medical records. Requires PhD in CS/math with NLP/ML focus, high-impact publications, and experience with large-scale model training using PyTorch/JAX.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to advance Layer Health's research agenda (in areas such as information extraction, multimodal reasoning, and summarization).
- Propose new agentic methods that tackle fundamental NLP and ML challenges such as modeling over multiple documents, long contexts, multiple modalities, and with limited or noisy labels.
- Build foundation models to power the future of clinical information extraction & synthesis, from training through inference.
- Stay up-to-date and actively engage with cutting-edge research in NLP, generative AI, and clinical machine learning.
- Collaborate with the broader engineering team to ship performant products that meet user needs.
- Cultivate and foster a robust and thoughtful R&D culture that drives the company forward.
Requirements
- Exceptional methodological research background and experience, including a PhD in computer science/applied mathematics or equivalent research experience, specializing in natural language processing and machine learning.
- High-impact, early-author publications at top peer-reviewed ML journals/conferences.
- Demonstrated record of delivering real-world impact from start to finish – with the ability to design, develop, and ship innovations.
- Strong programming skills and fluency with modern machine learning/LLM stacks (PyTorch, Jax).
- Past experience in training/inference of foundation models (billions of parameters, distributed training, familiarity with state-of-the-art techniques).
- A strong communicator who thrives in a customer-focused, fast-paced environment.
- An excited and adaptable team player who wants to disrupt the healthcare industry with AI/ML.
Nice-to-Haves
- Past experience in healthcare or life sciences.
Compensation
- Expected compensation range: $200,000-250,000, in addition to stock options. Compensation dependent on experience, fit, and location.
