About the role
JOB SUMMARY We are seeking a Machine Learning Scientist to join the Enchant team at Iambic Therapeutics. In this role, you will design and implement clinical fine-tuning of Enchant, our multimodal transformer model trained on a wide variety of biomedical data, pushing the boundaries of what large-scale foundation models can achieve in drug discovery. This role spans data sourcing through to production deployment. You will identify, curate, and evaluate datasets that support prediction of relevant clinical endpoints (patient- and trial-level outcome modeling, safety/toxicity prediction, and PK/PD response modeling) and fine-tune Enchant to deliver critical clinical insights. This includes developing rigorous, leakage-resistant experimental frameworks, optimizing training, orchestrating runs at scale, and working with colleagues across ML and clinical functions to put these models into the hands of scientists making real therapeutic decisions. KEY
RESPONSIBILITIES Fine-tune large-scale multimodal transformer models for clinical and biomedical applications Identify, characterize, and utilize datasets that can deliver insights into pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), toxicity, clinical adverse events, and clinical trial outcomes Develop and apply rigorous experimental approaches that account for multiple sources of potential leakage (split, metadata, trial-family, temporal, ontological, arm-comparator, etc.) Design and maintain benchmarking and evaluation frameworks that track model quality across models and tasks Build models with appropriate calibration, uncertainty quantification, and clinically meaningful evaluation metrics. Collaborate with ML and software engineering colleagues to deploy and operationalize models Partner with clinical scientists and pharmacologists to ensure model development is grounded in drug discovery and development needs Communicate results to internal teams, external partners, and at conferences Generate high-quality research and engineering code: refactor, test, document, and package ML components to support team velocity REQUIRED
