Machine Learning Scientist — Agentic data pipelines

About this role

Join Iambic Therapeutics as a Machine Learning Scientist to design and build AI-powered data pipelines that acquire, clean, and quality-control biomedical datasets for training the Enchant multimodal transformer model. You'll develop LLM-based agents to automate data processing across diverse sources and modalities, combining software engineering rigor with biomedical domain knowledge.

What you'll do

• Design and build agentic systems for automated data acquisition from biomedical sources
• Develop LLM-based pipelines for data cleaning, normalization, and formatting across multiple modalities
• Implement automated quality-control workflows to detect anomalies and enforce data standards
• Evaluate and optimize agent architectures, prompting strategies, and tool-use patterns
• Collaborate with ML scientists to translate data requirements into scalable systems
• Monitor production pipelines, diagnose failures, and document data provenance

What they're looking for

• Python software engineering and production-quality code
• LLM APIs (Claude, GPT) and agentic patterns (tool use, orchestration)
• Biomedical and chemical data formats (PDB, UniProt, ChEMBL, FASTA)
• ETL design and data validation at scale
• Data engineering fundamentals for structured and unstructured data
• Agent orchestration frameworks
• Cloud infrastructure and workflow orchestration (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes)
• Multimodal biomedical data (molecules, proteins, genomics, clinical records)

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity
• Company-paid healthcare and flexible spending accounts
• 401(k) matching and voluntary life insurance
• Uncapped vacation
• State-of-the-art San Diego facility with onsite gym and dining
• Remote work options (US or UK) with on-site availability in Bristol and Boston
