Job Description
About Us: Artera is an AI startup that develops medical artificial intelligence tests to personalize therapy for cancer patients. Artera is on a mission to personalize medical decisions for patients and physicians on a global scale.
As a Machine Learning Engineer at Artera, you will help develop AI-based biomarkers that support the personalization of cancer therapy. You will work on multimodal deep-learning models that integrate large-scale pathology whole-slide images with diverse modalities to predict patient risk and response to therapy. Training models on pathology images poses unique computational and modeling challenges, and you will contribute to developing robust, scalable solutions in this space. You will collaborate closely with fellow ML engineers, biostatisticians, scientific directors, and product partners to build, validate, and deploy models that ultimately impact patient care.
Essential Responsibilities:
- Develop and evaluate AI-based biomarkers using multimodal data.
- Design, implement, and improve machine-learning models to predict patient outcomes and treatment response.
- Contribute to the end-to-end model development lifecycle, including data preparation, training, evaluation, and validation.
- Support the productionalization, launch, and monitoring of machine-learning models in collaboration with platform and product teams.
- Conduct research and experimentation to improve model performance, robustness, generalizability, and interpretability.
- Collaborate with biostatistics, clinical, and product partners to translate clinical questions into machine-learning solutions.
- Contribute to scientific publications and conference submissions alongside the broader research team.
Experience Requirements:
- 2+ years of industry experience using PyTorch or TensorFlow.
- Experience contributing to machine-learning systems deployed or maintained in production environments.
- Ability to clearly communicate complex technical concepts to cross-functional, non-ML collaborators.
Desired:
- Experience working with large-scale image data or computer vision models.
- Familiarity with self-supervised representation learning (e.g., MoCo, DINOv2) and / or vision–language models (VLMs) and multimodal representation learning.
- Interest in healthcare, medical imaging, or applied machine learning in regulated or high-impact domains.
$140,000 - $180,000 a year
In addition to base salary, equity is a core component of our compensation. We also offer 401k matching, unlimited paid time off (PTO), and more.
The base salary is competitive and commensurate with experience, qualifications, and other factors to be discussed during the interview process.
