Senior Machine Learning Engineer (m / f / d)

We are a Hamburg-based startup democratizing cancer diagnostics with AI. Our cutting-edge technology enhances pathologists' ability to quickly and accurately identify cancer and is the first AI solution used in clinical histopathology in the U.S.

Join Our Mission to Combat Cancer with Cutting-Edge AI

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you will be part of an interdisciplinary team and become a key driver in building highly accurate image analysis systems and machine learning models for the pathologists’ clinical routine. There are big challenges in the field of digital pathology: huge images spanning 100k x 100k pixels where millions of cells and polygons need to be visualized. You will work on solutions to make the overall workflow for machine learners much smoother by ensuring engineering excellence in the machine learning repositories, making visualization tools, inference, and training scripts as fast as possible, and ensuring that GPU training can happen across different servers.

Your Mission

1. Make GPU training scripts faster by profiling bottlenecks and fixing them.
2. Improve speed and add features to visualization tools used by machine learners.
3. Understand all the technology we use for serving ML models live and re-use them for internal tools in the machine learning team.
4. Implement efficient AI production systems in cooperation with our software developers.
5. Use our internal APIs to gather and transform data and optimally prepare it for ML training.
6. Support our medical team with tooling to efficiently guide the evaluation of annotators and make the annotation process more efficient.
7. Make GPU training robust when training across several servers.

You will be directly reporting to the CTO.

Your Profile

1. M.Sc / PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or similar with excellent grades.
2. Experience working in the field of machine learning, especially using PyTorch.
3. Multi-year practical experience developing professional software.
4. Advanced skills in Python, bash, Git, and Linux tools.
5. Ability to work in a fast-changing, highly dynamic work environment with changing priorities.
6. Curiosity to understand the medical application.
7. Enjoying interdisciplinary teamwork and thinking outside the box.
8. Independent structured working style and willingness to take responsibility.
9. Good analytical skills and the motivation to constantly learn and share knowledge.
10. Fluent in English; additional German is a plus.

The position is in Hamburg. We pay relocation partially.

About Us

We are making the difference in pathology.

We’re a Hamburg, Germany-based start-up with the mission to democratize cancer diagnostics. We apply artificial intelligence to improve pathologists‘ ability to identify cancer quickly and accurately.

The opportunity to take cancer diagnostics to a new level.

We solve one of the most pressing challenges in modern healthcare: demands for pathological image analysis are increasing rapidly, but the number of cancer experts remains stagnant.

We build support tools for visual diagnosis using state-of-the-art deep learning. Mindpeak's AI tools help cancer experts deliver reliable and reproducible diagnoses and focus on areas where human expertise is indispensable.

Close cooperation in an international team.

Optimizing cancer diagnostics with machine learning is challenging and requires the brightest minds. At Mindpeak, you will work closely with a team of industry experts in deep learning, pathology, and entrepreneurship.

We need you to make a difference in the world and shape the future of cancer diagnostics!
