Responsibilities

Embed with early design partners (research institutes, enterprise users, clinics, healthcare providers) to deeply understand their data, workflows, constraints, and business/clinical objectives for use-cases like cfDNA fragment analysis, epigenetic embedding, multi-omic integration, diagnostic reporting, patient-specific risk stratification
Translate real-world problems into concrete, deployable solutions using Pleiades. Including designing and building custom pipelines, data ingestion, model integration, and output handling tailored to each customer’s environment
Establish deployment 'best practices'
Feed what you learn from deployments back into the R&D roadmap: help prioritize model improvements, new features, and research directions

Required

Collaborative, low-ego, team-oriented mindset — balancing scientific rigour with operational pragmatism
Excellent communication skills: able to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences (scientists, clinicians, operations, business stakeholders)
Deep technical fluency: comfortable with data science / ML / computational biology end-to-end — ideally with strong bioinformatics / multi-omic / clinical-data experience
Strong programming / scripting skills (Python, R, or equivalent), able to build data-processing / ETL pipelines, and integrate ML models into production environments
Background in research-to-production transition: bridging academic research, large-scale ML, and deployable product
Familiarity with compliance and data governance (e.g. data anonymization, GDPR, audit-ability, provenance)
Comfort with ambiguity and early-stage work: able to navigate messy, incomplete data; iterate quickly; improvise tools; and own the entire deployment stack end-to-end
Experience building tools or frameworks for ML/AI workloads (data pipelines, infrastructure, modular/reusable code, CI/CD for ML, monitoring)
Prior experience deploying ML/AI in regulated or high-stakes environments (clinical labs, healthcare, diagnostics, enterprise)
