Founding AI Scientist - Pathology Foundation Models Remote (Must be US Based)
The Role: You will lead the strategy and development of pathology foundation models, shaping how they are designed, trained, evaluated, and deployed into clinical and pharmaceutical applications. This is a highly cross-functional role spanning research and production. You will define how foundation models integrate with biological context, multimodal data, and downstream decision-making systems moving beyond isolated model improvements to building end-to-end, real-world solutions. As an early-stage hire, you will play a key role in shaping both the technical direction and the organisation itself.
Required Experience:
  • Strong publication record in machine learning, including multiple first-author papers at leading conferences or journals
  • Deep understanding of modern ML architectures (e.g. transformers, attention mechanisms, state-space models, mixture-of-experts)
  • Experience working with GPU clusters and large-scale ML infrastructure (e.g. Kubernetes, SLURM, or similar)
  • Solid software engineering skills and ability to build production-grade systems
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to convey complex ideas to both technical and scientific audiences
Preferred Background:
  • Experience in oncology, cancer biology, or drug development
  • Exposure to biomedical or healthcare foundation models
  • Experience with multimodal and cross-modal learning systems
  • Familiarity with healthcare regulatory frameworks (e.g. FDA, HIPAA)
  • Contributions to open-source ML ecosystems
  • Experience working with distributed or community-driven research groups
  • Previous experience in a startup or early-stage environment
