Community ML Research Engineer, non-AI scientific fields - EMEA Remote

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company.
We are currently looking for a Community ML Research Engineer, non-AI scientific fields, in EMEA.

This role offers the opportunity to merge scientific research with applied machine learning, helping non-AI fields like biology, physics, or chemistry leverage modern ML tools. You will act as a technical generalist, designing and optimizing data pipelines, developing ML solutions, and collaborating directly with researchers to create impactful tools and resources. The position involves a combination of hands-on engineering, dataset management, and community engagement to lower barriers for ML adoption in traditional sciences. You will work on distributed and high-performance computing systems, co-author open-source resources, and explore diverse scientific datasets. This role thrives in a flexible, collaborative environment where innovation, adaptability, and technical problem-solving are highly valued.

Accountabilities:

• Build, optimize, and maintain datasets and data pipelines for scientific applications, focusing on high-performance, distributed environments.
• Develop, adapt, and deploy ML tools to address real-world challenges across multiple scientific domains.
• Collaborate with non-AI scientific communities to co-design solutions, publish datasets, and create open-source resources.
• Engage with researchers and institutions to identify high-impact opportunities and contribute to strategic initiatives.
• Prototype, iterate, and experiment with ML approaches tailored to domain-specific problems.
• Provide technical guidance and support for scientific teams integrating ML into their workflows.

Requirements

• Strong experience in scientific data engineering, dataset management, or pipeline optimization, particularly in distributed or HPC environments.
• Hands-on experience with fast-reads, large-scale data processing, and cross-filesystem data access.
• Background in non-AI scientific domains such as biology, physics, chemistry, or quantum research.
• Experience collaborating with research communities to translate scientific needs into technical solutions.
• Proficiency in Python or other programming languages for scientific computing and ML tooling.
• Familiarity with ML workflows, data preprocessing, and model deployment in research contexts.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Adaptability to ambiguous, fast-paced, and exploratory environments.
• Bonus: contributions to open-source projects, publications, or community tutorials.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity opportunities.
• Flexible remote work options with occasional on-site collaboration as needed.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage.
• Professional development support, including conferences, training, and educational reimbursement.
• Paid parental leave and generous paid time off.
• Opportunity to shape ML adoption in scientific research and contribute to open-source initiatives.
• Collaborative and inclusive work culture that values diversity, equity, and continuous learning.
