[Remote] Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Harnham is recruiting a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to build AI products that improve clinical research and help new therapies reach patients. The role focuses on developing and deploying scalable machine learning models and LLM-powered agents, building MLOps infrastructure, and collaborating across teams to integrate AI into clinical research workflows.

Responsibilities

• Build and deploy AI-driven products that accelerate clinical trials and improve patient outcomes. Your work will deliver scalable machine learning solutions to complex, real-world problems in clinical research
• Develop advanced ML models and LLM-powered agents for critical use cases like patient recruitment, enrollment forecasting, and study feasibility. You’ll also help expand our AI knowledge base architecture to support these innovative solutions
• Leverage modern cloud tools and MLOps best practices to build robust data pipelines and deploy models at scale. You’ll use technologies like Python (and Clojure), AWS services (Athena, Bedrock, SageMaker, etc.), dbt, Prefect, and CI/CD automation with monitoring to ensure models are reliable and up-to-date
• Collaborate across teams of data scientists, product managers, designers, engineers, and domain experts to integrate AI capabilities into our platform (including Care Access products). Ensure these AI solutions seamlessly support and enhance clinical research workflows for end-users
• Continuously learn and innovate. Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in ML/AI (LLMs, NLP, probabilistic modeling, etc.) and proactively bring new ideas to the team. You’ll have the freedom to experiment with cutting-edge techniques and turn promising prototypes into production features that drive our mission forward

Skills

• MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE IN HEALTHCARE
• Candidates should understand: regulated environments, compliance requirements, security considerations, model governance, bias and fairness concerns
• Minimum of 5+ years of hands-on experience building and deploying machine learning solutions in production at scale
• Proven ability to implement end-to-end ML pipelines from data ingestion to model serving for real-world applications used by real people
• Proficiency in Python and its ML ecosystem (pandas, scikit-learn, TensorFlow/PyTorch), with clean and efficient coding practices
• Comfortable working with large datasets, writing complex SQL queries, and leveraging modern data processing frameworks
• Experience with AWS and containerization tools like Docker
• Familiarity with MLOps best practices such as CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and monitoring model performance/data drift to ensure reliable, scalable deployments
• Strong understanding of machine learning fundamentals (model selection, training, evaluation, feature engineering) and statistical modeling
• Familiarity with NLP and large language models is important
• Ability to break down complex problems and devise effective, efficient ML solutions
• Experience with functional programming (e.g. Clojure) is a plus but not required

Benefits

• Remote work arrangement
