Job Description

Research & Machine Learning Engineer at Owkin building advanced AI for biomedical research. Collaborating with a multi-disciplinary team to develop machine learning models for complex biological datasets.

Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate within a multi-disciplinary team of product managers, designers, software engineers, and biomedical scientists.
  • Research, design, and build machine learning models tailored to complex biological and chemical datasets.
  • Explore and integrate LLMs, multimodal models, and domain-specific architectures (e.g., vision models for pathology, DNA-based and protein language models, molecular structure neural networks).
  • Prototype and evaluate approaches for fine-tuning, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, and reinforcement learning with human or programmatic feedback.
  • Establish robust evaluation and monitoring methodologies to ensure model performance, reliability, and interpretability in production.
  • Translate state-of-the-art research into practical solutions, balancing scientific depth with product impact.
  • Contribute to the broader technical vision and mentor teammates in ML best practices.

Requirements:

  • Strong scientific curiosity and creativity with an applied mindset.
  • Proven experience in machine learning research and development (academic or industrial).
  • Solid understanding of deep learning architectures (transformers, diffusion models, vision models, graph neural networks, etc.).
  • Experience working with large and/or multimodal datasets — ideally in biomedical or chemistry or life sciences domain.
  • Familiarity with LLM fine-tuning, evaluation, or RLHF is a plus.
  • Strong programming skills (Python, PyTorch or TensorFlow).
  • Experience bringing ML models to production or collaborating closely with engineers.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
  • Fluent English, both written and spoken.
  • Stack: Python, PyTorch, Hugging Face, Kubernetes, AWS

Benefits:

  • Flexible work organization
  • Friendly and informal working environment
  • Opportunity to work with an international team with high technical and scientific backgrounds
