Sr. Machine Learning Researcher

Sci.bio Recruiting
Boston, US
On-site

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Design, train, and evaluate ML models across multiple domains and modalities — from language and vision to tabular data, time-series, and beyond
  • Formulate novel research questions, prototype solutions rapidly, and iterate toward publishable and production-ready results
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and data teams to identify high-leverage ML opportunities
  • Champion rigorous experimental practices: sound baselines, reproducibility, ablation studies, and honest reporting of results
  • Mentor junior researchers and contribute to a culture of intellectual curiosity and high standards
  • Stay current with the literature across multiple ML subfields and synthesize insights for the broader team
  • Present research findings internally and externally, including at academic conferences and through peer-reviewed publications

Required Skills

  • PhD in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Statistics, or a related quantitative field — or equivalent research experience with a strong publication record
  • 5+ years of hands-on ML research experience spanning at least two distinct domains (e.g., NLP, computer vision, RL, time-series, graph ML, generative modeling, etc.)
  • Demonstrated ability to go from research idea to working implementation: proficient in Python and at least one major ML framework (PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow)
  • Strong grounding in ML fundamentals: optimization, probabilistic reasoning, statistical learning theory, and evaluation methodology
  • Track record of peer-reviewed publications or equivalent research contributions in competitive venues
  • Excellent communication skills — able to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience scaling experiments to large compute clusters (GPU/TPU) and familiarity with distributed training frameworks
  • Hands-on work with both supervised and self-supervised learning paradigms
  • Exposure to production ML systems: model serving, monitoring, and iterative deployment
  • Contributions to open-source ML projects or released research artifacts (datasets, code, model weights)
  • Background bridging applied and foundational research — comfortable moving between proof-of-concept and product impact
