Jobbeschreibung

Why us?

We believe that AI has the potential to revolutionize how cancer and other complex diseases are diagnosed and treated. We also believe that AI is a tool, not an identity – without access to high quality data and a scientifically rigorous, transparent approach to model development, AI is just a buzzword. That’s where we come in.

Aignostics is a spin-off from one of Europe's largest and most prestigious university hospitals (Charité), with employees in Berlin and New York. We have received over $50M in funding from leading investors and are a growing team of over 100 interdisciplinary professionals. We work with academic partners as well as leading global life sciences companies.

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Aignostics, you work hand in hand with our collaborators in academia and industry to push the state of the art of machine learning for digital pathology. You will develop distributed software systems for machine learning applications that will help to improve cancer research and diagnostics. Together with your colleagues you will take care of the machine learning software stack and thereby enable our teams to build medical‑grade quality and scalable machine learning models.

At Aignostics, we believe that fighting cancer is a job for people of all identities, backgrounds, and cultures. We value and celebrate diversity and inclusion and are committed to offering equal employment and promotion opportunities for all applicants and employees. Applicants will be considered regardless of their age, disability, ethnicity, race, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, etc. We thrive through collaboration and believe the more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.

Where your expertise is needed

• Design, develop, deploy and maintain robust ML pipelines to make them usable, efficient and scalable.
• Optimize and fine‑tune data pipelines for production.
• Engage in code reviews, upholding high standards for clean, reliable code.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to understand business requirements and translate them into ML solutions.
• Embrace learning new technologies, fostering innovation, and tackling diverse challenges. Contribute to the development of our ML infrastructure, pipelines, services, monitoring systems and codebase in general.
• Work in an agile development environment and clearly communicate your results to the team.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers, providing technical leadership and insights.

What we are looking for

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field. PhD is a plus.

• Advanced programming skills in Python, with experience with other languages (e.g. C/C++, CUDA, Java, Rust) being a plus.
• Good understanding of distributed systems and frameworks, parallel computing and scalability.
• Experience with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS or Azure), familiarity with MLOps / DevOps best practices (incl. CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes and observability).
• Dedicated to high coding standards and knowledgeable about best practices in development workflow.
• Experience with Linux, version control and container technologies.
• Data engineering skills, experience with working with large datasets.
• Excellent problem‑solving skills and the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.

Nice to have

• Experience with deploying models into production.
• Experience with Google Kubernetes Engine, Ray distributed computing framework and Prefect.
