Machine Learning Researcher (3D Teeth Modeling)

Even if you knew everything there was to know about Machine Learning today, the idea that tomorrow you will wake up and learn something new gets you out of bed every day.

Promaton is changing dental healthcare by automating diagnostics and treatment workflows using AI, making healthcare more affordable and accessible for everyone.

Do you want to join us in our journey to improve patients' lives? See our company page to learn more about what we do.

As a Machine Learning Researcher, you will be part of the orthodontics product team and collaborate closely with our platform, web, and other ML product teams, enabling fast iterations, multimodality, and scalable ML solutions for existing and future products. Within this unique position, you’ll have access to data from hundreds of thousands of treatments, including scans of tens of millions of teeth. This allows us to model all subtle anatomical variations and treatment predictions. Together with the ML Engineers, Product Manager, and other ML Researchers in the team, you will own and extend our live AI products that support orthodontics treatments.

In Promaton, we have a successful track record of multiple ML products processing hundreds of thousands of treatment plans yearly. This wouldn't have been possible without the hard work of an international, inspired, and talented team of 60 people passionate about AI and mission-driven that works remotely across more than a dozen countries in Europe.

Promaton is on a mission to provide fast, more accessible, and higher-quality dental healthcare to patients worldwide. We are a scale-up within a large medical company,  growing rapidly, and we have a very strong ‘people first’ culture. We are passionate about technical innovation in healthcare, value autonomy, and implement best practices from top tech product companies.

• 🎈Inclusive environment, we value and celebrate diversity

• 3 years of experience in 3D geometry processing: demonstrated proficiency in applying 3D neural networks (e.g., Neural Radiance Fields, 3D point transformers, etc.)

• at least 1 year of experience with ML-based products used by customers

• strong Python experience focused on deep learning

• data-centric mindset, experienced with 3D mesh/point-cloud visualization tools

• proactive work ethic: a proactive and self-driven personality with a natural inclination to drive projects and initiatives forward and a pragmatic mindset to lead initiatives and help release ML solutions into production

• based in a time zone between UTC-1 and UTC+3 (+/- 2 hours Amsterdam time)

• ability to join/fly in for company events 4 times a year (1 week per quarter)

Bonus points:

• experience with medical imaging/medical AI (panoramic X-ray, CBCT)

• performed product development, including successful deployment of machine learning systems in a live production environment

• experience in machine learning research and software involving 3D mesh data

• hands-on experience with multi-modal data, such as combining 3D meshes with images

• experience with 3D shape modeling and mesh manipulation
