Machine Learning Scientist, Multimodal AI

POSITION SUMMARY:

Natera is hiring a Machine Learning Scientist to join our AI and computational biology team. This role develops and deploys deep learning models across digital pathology, genomics, transcriptomics, and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) modalities. You will build multimodal AI systems that integrate imaging, molecular, and clinical data, leveraging proprietary genomic and clinical datasets. You will collaborate with scientists, pathologists, bioinformaticians, and software engineers to scale machine learning approaches that advance personalized oncology diagnostics and tumor-informed minimal residual disease (MRD) testing.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Design, implement, and evaluate deep learning models across biomedical data modalities, including histopathology imaging, genomic sequencing, transcriptomics, and cfDNA features
• Develop multimodal AI architectures that integrate H&E whole-slide imaging data with molecular and clinical data sources
• Build scalable, production-quality machine learning workflows and pipelines using cloud infrastructure (AWS)
• Apply modern machine learning techniques including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), vision transformers (ViTs), sequence transformers, representation learning, and foundation model fine-t
