ML Engineer
Machine Learning Scientist focused on developing AI-powered tools for cancer diagnostics and treatment planning, leveraging advanced deep learning techniques on medical imaging data to improve accuracy and efficiency in oncology workflows.
About Nucs AI
Nucs AI is revolutionizing cancer care through cutting-edge AI and medical imaging technology. Founded in 2024 by a multidisciplinary team of oncologists, AI researchers, and healthcare innovators, we’re tackling one of medicine’s most pressing challenges: the growing demand for accurate, timely cancer diagnostics in the face of rising scan volumes and limited radiologist capacity.
We sit at the intersection of diagnostics and treatment planning—building AI-powered tools at the convergence of medical imaging, radioligand therapy, and artificial intelligence. Starting with prostate cancer and expanding across oncology, we partner with world-leading medical institutions and pharmaceutical companies across the US, Europe, and Australia to bring precision oncology into everyday clinical practice.
Our mission is to enhance diagnostic precision and expand access to expert-level cancer care, improving patient outcomes worldwide. We’re venture-backed, early-stage, and building a team that blends deep clinical expertise with engineering intensity—moving with the rigor the medical field demands and the speed the problem deserves.
The Opportunity
Nucs AI is looking for a Machine Learning Scientist to deepen our ML research capabilities in clinical oncology. This is a senior, research-oriented role for someone who wants to develop novel approaches to medical image analysis, treatment outcome prediction, and multi-modal clinical data integration - and see those methods reach real clinical settings.
You’ll work at the intersection of ML research and clinical application, collaborating closely with physicians, medical physicists, and experienced engineers with deep domain expertise. Together, you’ll develop methods that are scientifically rigorous and clinically meaningful. Your work will directly shape our product capabilities and contribute to peer-reviewed science.
