Promaton · Lead Machine Learning Researcher

At Promaton we are building a platform to bring cutting-edge AI research to dental patients around the world. We are highly passionate about AI and health, and at Promaton we combine both by creating customer-facing products to make dental healthcare more affordable, accessible, and of higher quality. Ultimately our mission is to leverage the latest AI advancements to make the lives of patients better.

Most of our colleagues have advanced degrees with cumulatively more than 35 postgraduate study years - so a lot of brain power in the team. You'll be working with an accomplished team of data scientists and machine learning engineers, that already have 8 patents on their name, and have created market-leading algorithms that are in use throughout the world.

We are looking for someone who shares our passion and will lead our Prosthetics team, which is working on an AI-based mesh design platform to automate dental restorative workflows.

What you will be doing:

Building and improving our deep learning models with our clinical experts
Leveraging your ML expertise to aid an R&D team of ML researchers into building multiple POCs and bringing them into production
Exploring and validating the latest state-of-the-art in shape and pose generation for use in our products
Exploring and capitalizing on patent opportunities within our products
Support an already live mesh segmentation API used worldwide with a steeply increasing number of API calls
Crafting the technical strategy and roadmap together with the product manager, representing the tech stack in prioritization discussions.
Mentor, coach and grow team members

The perks of working at Promaton:

💰 Attractive salary package, and excellent employment terms

🏡 Excellent work/life balance. Freedom to work from home or anywhere you like (and any time you like). We only have a few touchpoints

👩‍🔬 Dedicated time for hackathons and growth, to explore new ideas of your own. Every quarter we have a hackathon week where you can work on anything you like to expand your skill set!

🙌 Staying up to date with the latest happening in the ML field can be hard. That is why we organize monthly paper review sessions, where we discuss the latest developments in the field to stay up to date with the current state-of-the-art. Next to that we regularly hold “ML Sparring Sessions” where you can spar with other MLRs in the company on potential directions for projects you are working on.

🎓 Real training budget for books and conferences or anything else you need to grow

🚀 Work with the latest technology, at the forefront of a rapidly developing field in medical imaging AI

💪 Loads of responsibility and autonomy (we hate micromanagement) and a chance to make a real impact

🏖 Awesome yearly company retreat, and quarterly team events

⛺️ 32 days of annual leave

💻 Top-notch gear, and even bigger servers to play with

🏄‍♂️ Promaton is funded for many years to come, meaning you can have the impact you only get at a startup, but with the job security of an established company

🛬 For international engineers, based in the NL (already relocated to the Netherlands) we are able to offer visa sponsorship

🎈Inclusive environment, we value and celebrate diversity

To apply for this job, we have a couple of hard-requirements:

5+ years experience in Machine Learning
2+ years experience of hands-on leadership experience OR tech leading
Experience with the use of ML for 3D shape and geometry/mesh analysis, such as graphics, AR/VR, shape generation, or mesh segmentation
Experience in delivery and stakeholder management
Experience leading Machine learning teams with an R&D-heavy roadmap
Previous commercial experience including deploying machine learning systems in production, not only prototypes.
Strong experience working with Python, AWS, and PyTorch/ Tensorflow
Experience with software development workflows: Git, GitHub, TDD, and automated CI/CD.
Passionate about software engineering principles, best practices, and contributing clean & maintainable code
Proactive personality with a drive to move things forward
Based on a time zone between UTC-1 and UTC+3 (+/-2 hours Amsterdam time)

Bonus points:

Recent hands-on experience developing ML models for 3D shape generation and/or pose prediction, applying newer techniques like GANs, Diffusion models, implicit shape models, or similar.
Experience with working on meshes
You are a fan of Kornia, maybe have attended a Siggraph conference over the years too, or are even a member (past or present) of an established lab such as VGG out of the University of Oxford, MPIs in Germany, or top-tier vision+graphics labs In the US (UCSD /CMU) then we’d love to talk to you!
Non-deep learning AI experience: ML, reinforcement learning, constraint satisfaction problems, etc.
Experience with Kubeflow, Tensorflow serving, Torch serve
Experience in a regulated environment (complying with ISO norms) or medical AI domain

Do you want to be part of drastically changing that with AI so patients and clinicians worldwide can benefit significantly?

If you’re curious and a constant learner, always wondering what’s next and where we can take this technology, let’s talk!
