Responsibilities
- Design and implement deep learning architectures for 3D volumetric medical imaging (CT, PET, MRI)
- Develop survival models that handle censored outcomes, competing risks, and the statistical nuances of time-to-event prediction
- Optimize training pipelines to efficiently process large-scale imaging datasets on cloud GPU infrastructure
- Collaborate with our ML team to establish best practices and push the state of the art
- Contribute to research publications and present findings at conferences
Qualifications
- 7+ years of experience in machine learning, with substantial work in computer vision or medical imaging
- PhD in machine learning, computer vision, statistics, or a related field preferred; exceptional industry track record considered
- Deep expertise in 3D vision—experience with volumetric architectures (3D CNNs, Vision Transformers for 3D data, etc.)
- Strong foundation in survival analysis and time-to-event modeling (Cox models, deep survival models, competing risks)
- Proven ability to train large models efficiently at scale—you understand distributed training, memory optimization, and what it takes to iterate quickly on big data
- Proficiency with PyTorch and modern ML infrastructure
- Track record of impactful research (publications, deployed systems, or equivalent demonstrations of technical depth)
Nice to Have
- Experience with medical imaging foundation models or self-supervised learning on unlabeled imaging data
- Background in uncertainty quantification: calibrated predictions, conformal prediction, Bayesian deep learning
