Senior / Staff Machine Learning Scientist, Computational Pathology
Quick overview
Job description
Build ML that changes how cancer is treated.
Most medical AI stops with a publication. Our AI models guide treatment decisions today.
Artera’s AI-driven prostate test is standard-of-care in the US and cancer patients in all 50 states are using our models to help make decisions about their therapy. While we started in prostate cancer, we’ve grown into a multi-cancer platform with more disease settings in development. You'll help build what's next.
The role
At Artera, we’re making ML development agent-first. You won’t spend your days hand-writing training loops, tuning hyperparameters in notebooks, or babysitting individual runs. Instead, you’ll design, direct, and evaluate autonomous research agents that propose hypotheses, write and execute experiments, and train models autonomously. You’ll be tasked with answering specific scientific questions: which patients can safely forgo aggressive treatment or inferring molecular traits from routine digital slides and your job will be to decide what’s worth investigating and which research directions merit investment.
As a senior or staff scientist, you'll own an AI biomarker end to end, from problem framing with our product, medical, and biostatistics partners through validation, regulatory submission, and production. You'll set technical direction for the scientists and engineers around you, and take on the hardest cross-cutting problems in our field: making models hold up across scanners, stains, and sites so a patient’s result doesn’t depend on the scanner, lab, or stain behind their slide, uncovering what our models have learned about tumor biology, and building the next generation of our pathology foundation models. At the Staff level, you'll also set direction across programs and help shape the AI roadmap with leadership.
