Descripción del empleo

Bios Life is a technology-enabled healthcare company built to empower individuals to proactively manage their cancer risk, redefining personalized cancer screening and survivorship.

Surveillance for people at high risk of cancer and for cancer survivors is too often generic, fragmented, and reactive. Screening follows population averages rather than individual risk. Data, expertise, and care delivery sit apart from one another, and care tends to wait for a problem to appear before responding.

Bios Life is building the operating system for personalized cancer surveillance: a platform that reads genomic, clinical, laboratory, and lifestyle data together, models how an individual's risk changes over time, and integrates that intelligence with a continuously curated evidence base - all delivered by a clinician-led care team specialized in cancer surveillance.

We offer two programs:

Personalized Screening - an integrated pan-cancer screening program built around an individual's risk profile.

Survivorship - continuous surveillance and holistic care designed around the specific needs of cancer survivors.

Our team pairs decades of experience at the forefront of innovative cancer care with deep expertise in genomics and machine learning, supported by internationally recognized advisors who have helped shape screening and survivorship guidelines.

The Role

As an AI Engineer, you will build the machine learning infrastructure and models that transform complex biomedical data into actionable clinical insights. You will take research concepts from prototype through production, developing AI systems that support cancer biomarker detection, risk prediction, longitudinal monitoring, and personalized screening strategies.

You will report to the Head of AI and collaborate closely with clinicians, data scientists, product leaders, and software engineers. This is an in-person role based in our Boston office, with the opportunity to shape both our technology and engineering culture from the ground up.
