Machine Learning Engineer

Job Description – Machine Learning Engineer About Harbinger Health Harbinger Health is pioneering the detection of early cancer and enabling fundamentally new approaches to cancer screening, diagnosis, and management. Incubated within Flagship Pioneering for three years before launching in 2021, Harbinger combines advances in artificial intelligence with proprietary insights into the biology of early cancer cell formation to identify cancer before it is visible or symptomatic with the goal of developing low-cost, multi-cancer blood tests. At Harbinger, we aim to lead in shaping this future – creating a proactive paradigm so that people can live cancer-free for longer, adding years to life and life to years. We envision a future where, instead of preventing cancer from spreading, it can be prevented from forming, making a cancer diagnosis a routine health issue rather than a life-altering event to be feared, with profound implications for people, healthcare systems and societies. Our solution starts with proprietary technologies we are developing with our platform. By making cancer screening accessible globally, Harbinger Health has the potential to fundamentally transform cancer care, for everyone. Our life-saving work is guided by our principles of rigor and transparency, constructive engagement, inclusiveness, accountability and quality, and a strong commitment to our customers, patients, and each other. These values drive our decisions and actions. We are a highly dynamic, entrepreneurial, and innovation-driven organization seeking collaborative, passionate, and dedicated people to join our team.
