Leads frontier AI research for drug discovery, developing biomedical models and AI applications to accelerate clinical development and precision medicine.
The Impact Youâll Make:
Human biology stems from four billion years of evolution, which creates a proliferation of complexity and heterogeneity. The combinatorial explosion of biological hypotheses easily surpasses the number of atoms in the universe. Meanwhile, medical discovery advances at the snail pace of clinical trials, each taking years and costing over $100 million. As we enter the era of precision health and try to tailor treatments for each individual, continuing on todayâs discovery processes is clearly unsustainable.
With the confluence of digital transformation and intelligence revolution, we have an unprecedented opportunity to develop a unifying biomedical world model by bridging virtual patient and virtual cell, and turning real-world data into a discovery engine to close the loop of clinical care and drug discovery. As a Principal AI Researcher, you will join our cross-functional team of top-notch scientists, engineers, and drug hunters in the quest of scalable biomedical discovery. You will work at the forefront of AI-powered drug discovery, advancing frontier research and end-to-end applications across discovery, design, and translation.
The Team Youâll Join:
Recursion is a pioneer in AI-native drug discovery. In the past decade, we have built an unparalleled array of infrastructures across drug discovery and clinical development, operating one of the largest AI compute clusters in biopharma, and spearheading industrial-scale phenomics for perturbation data generation at cellular resolution, long before âvirtual cellâ entered the mainstream. United under the mission of âdecoding biology to radically improve livesâ, we offer a unique vibrant environment that features frontier research, industrialized wet and dry labs, and real-world delivery, with close feedback loops and rapid iterations, much like a lean startup. You will join fellow experts across research and engineering, biology and medicine, business and operation, who are similarly committed to accelerating biomedical discovery and democratizing precision health for everyone in the globe.
The Experience You Will Need:

Senior AI/ML scientist designs and ships production LLM-powered features, agentic workflows, and evaluation frameworks for real-time news intelligence systems.
Description
NewsWhip by Sprout Social is looking for a Senior Applied AI/ML Scientist to join its AI, Data and Intelligence Business Unit.
Why join NewsWhip by Sprout Socialâs Data Science and AI team?
Most LLM applications are wrappers around a chat box. Ours arenât.
NewsWhip processes the worldâs news in real time - millions of articles, posts, and signals every day - and turns that firehose into predictive intelligence that journalists, PR leaders, and global brands rely on to make decisions before the news breaks. The interesting problems live everywhere in that pipeline: ambient agents that monitor and enrich content as it flows in, retrieval systems that have to be fast and correct on a corpus that changes by the minute, evaluation frameworks for a domain where hallucination has real-world consequences, and reporting workflows where LLM-generated insights need to stand up to scrutiny by professional analysts.
Youâll work at the intersection of product, data, and engineering with the autonomy to make architectural decisions and the support of a company that takes AI quality seriously. If you want to build LLM systems that do more than answer questions - systems that reason, retrieve, enrich, and act across one of the most demanding content domains there is â this is the role.
What youâll do
Build and Ship LLM-Powered Features
Architect and deliver production agentic workflows â both ambient (background agents that enrich, monitor, summarise, and surface insights across NewsWhipâs data continuously) and interactive (user-facing tool-using agents that respond to journalist and PR analyst queries in real time).
Own the design of LLM-powered content enrichments that feed directly into customer reporting, alerts, and intelligence briefings â turning raw news signals into structured, decision-ready outputs.
Lead the technical direction for tool-augmented LLM systems, including MCP-compatible services, function-calling patterns, and multi-step reasoning workflows.
Make architecture-level decisions about when to use retrieval, when to use agents, when to fine-tune, and when a smaller model or classical NLP approach is the right answer.
Define structured prompting standards, output schemas, and reusable patterns that the wider engineering team can build on.
Drive Quality, Evaluation, and Observability
Set the bar for how NewsWhip evaluates LLM systems â offline benchmarks, online experimentation, regression detection, and human-in-the-loop review.
Own guardrails for safety, hallucination reduction, factual grounding, and output consistency in a domain (news and media intelligence) where accuracy is non-negotiable.
Build observability into every LLM feature: tracing, cost tracking, latency budgets, quality metrics, and drift monitoring.
Make pragmatic trade-offs between model quality, latency, and cost â and be accountable for them.
Retrieval, Embeddings, and Semantic Infrastructure
Evolve the embedding and semantic search infrastructure that underpins NewsWhipâs intelligence layer, including chunking strategies, hybrid search, and re-ranking.
Improve retrieval relevance as one component of a broader agentic architecture â not as an end in itself.
Lead Technically and Influence Cross-Functionally
Partner with Product, and UXÂ to translate ambiguous AI ideas into shipped features customers actually rely on.
Lead technical design discussions and represent the AI team in architecture decisions.
Raise the bar through code review, mentorship, and writing â help less experienced engineers grow into strong AI practitioners.
Stay close to the frontier: evaluate emerging models, frameworks, and techniques and bring the right ones into the stack.
What youâll bring
Weâre looking for an experienced and highly technical Senior Applied AI/ML Scientist who embraces challenges, practices a growth mindset, and is eager to collaborate with a variety of stakeholders to provide data-driven solutions to business leaders and to NewsWhipâs by Sprout Social customers.
Minimum Qualifications
6+ years of experience building and operating production software systems.
2+ years hands-on experience shipping LLM-powered features in real-world applications.
Strong backend engineering skills (Python preferred).
Experience with several of the following:
Large Language Model APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, open-weight models, etc.) and transformer-based techniques
Embedding models and similarity search
Vector databases (ChromaDB, Pinecone, Weaviate, etc.)
Prompt engineering and structured output techniques
LLM evaluation frameworks and automated testing
LLMOps practices (monitoring, versioning, observability using Langfuse, Datadog, etc.)
Track record of owning a system end-to-end in production, not just contributing to one.
Experience making and defending architectural trade-offs (model choice, build vs. buy, latency vs. quality).
Experience mentoring engineers or leading technical design reviews.
Experience working closely with Product and UX on feature delivery.
Preferred Qualifications
Bachelorâs in Data Science, Computer Science, Machine Learning, AI, or a related discipline.
Experience with AI orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, LangGraph, etc.).
Familiarity with Model Context Protocol (MCP) or tool-calling architectures.
Experience building agentic workflows or tool-using systems.
Knowledge of semantic search and content retrieval systems.
Experience with cloud platforms.
Background in media analytics, content intelligence, or large-scale text processing.
Experience in startup or high-growth environments.
How youâll grow
Within 1 month, youâll plant your roots, including:
Complete onboarding and gain a deep understanding of NewsWhipâs product, data model, and AI roadmap.
Meet and learn from assigned onboarding resources.
Set clear expectations and goals with your manager.
Familiarize yourself with our existing LLM infrastructure, evaluation practices, and vector systems.
Ship your first meaningful improvement or feature iteration to production.
Become familiar with our existing features, available data, and best practices.
Within 3 months, youâll start hitting your stride by:
Take ownership of a core LLM-powered feature or subsystem.
Implement measurable improvements to prompt quality, retrieval relevance, or model performance.
Contribute to improving our AI evaluation and testing strategy.
Lead at least one technical design discussion related to AI architecture.
Within 6 months, youâll be making a clear impact through:
Drive the end-to-end delivery of a significant AI feature from concept to production launch.
Establish reusable patterns or tooling that improve LLM development velocity and reliability.
Demonstrate measurable impact on quality metrics (e.g., reduced hallucination rates, improved relevance, latency, or cost efficiency).
Within 12 months, youâll make this role your own by:
Be recognized as a go-to expert for LLM systems and applied AI best practices within the team.
Help shape the longer-term AI architecture and technical roadmap.
Mentor other engineers on prompt design, evaluation, and AI system reliability.
Surprise us - propose and deliver AI innovations that meaningfully change how customers use NewsWhip.
Of course what is outlined above is the ideal timeline, but things may shift based on business needs and other projects and tasks could be added at the discretion of your manager.

Why Euromonitor Custom Research
We answer the commercial questions that the worldâs leading companies cannot resolve from published data alone. Euromonitor Custom Research has delivered more than 10,000 projects, drawing on over 50 years of global data, industry specialist teams and analysts on the ground in 100 countries. Few consultancies can match that depth of local insight.
The questions we answer are as varied as our clients. A brand might want to know where its next phase of growth will come from, a retailer how its shoppers are shifting to online channels, or an exporter which markets to target first. Others need robust evidence to substantiate a âNo.1â claim. More than 5,700 organisations trust Euromonitor.
This is what sets the role apart: it combines the problem-solving and client skills of a strategy consultant with the analytical depth of a research organisation.
About The Role
Youâll work on strategic questions for some of the worldâs best-known companies, mostly across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India. The work is varied: one month you might be sizing an emerging category for a global food business, the next helping a beauty brand shape its consumer strategy for a new market. In each case, you will be involved from kick-off to the final recommendation, typically working on several projects in parallel and often to tight client deadlines.
What youâll do
Youâll own the work end to end, from building the evidence to advising on what it means. Youâll draw on our research network, data teams and tools along the way, but the quality and accuracy of the final answer are yours.
Define the problem. Translate each brief into key questions, hypotheses and a clear workplan, then make sound research decisions as the evidence develops, flagging early when findings point to further questions the client should consider.
Build evidence beyond what is publicly available. Lead conversations with senior industry figures to uncover insights that desk research cannot, and build robust market sizes, forecasts and scenarios by triangulating Passport data, primary research and other sources.
Turn evidence into advice. Synthesise complex, imperfect findings into a rigorously tested point of view, going beyond the âwhatâ to the âso whatâ and ânow whatâ, in reports and presentations that senior executives find clear, memorable and actionable.
Build trusted client relationships. Work closely with client teams, from insight managers to strategy directors, presenting findings and facilitating workshops with clarity and composure, and spotting further needs that could lead to follow-on work.
Collaborate across Euromonitor. Plan workstreams and guide the analysts on your projects to keep timelines and quality on track, collaborating with colleagues across offices, in-country researchers and Euromonitorâs industry specialists.
We care most about how you think, how you work with clients and how you turn evidence into recommendations. Sector knowledge and research techniques can be learned.
Analytical rigour. You break complex questions into their parts, form hypotheses and find creative routes to a robust answer when data is incomplete. You build and validate models in Excel and use AI tools with sound judgement about their outputs.
Influence and communication. You build credibility quickly with senior stakeholders and influence decisions without relying on authority. You write and present with a clear line of argument, have strong PowerPoint skills and stay composed under challenge.
Curiosity and ownership. You have a genuine interest in how markets, companies and consumers work. You take responsibility beyond your remit, move work forward in ambiguous situations and bring colleagues with you.
Experience and education. Around 2 to 4 yearsâ experience for Associate Consultant or 5+ years for Consultant in consulting, market research or a related analytical or commercial role. You can point to analysis or recommendations that have shaped client decisions, and you have guided the work of analysts. A strong academic record, ideally in business, economics or a quantitative subject.
Desirable (not essential)
Knowledge of consumer goods, retail, B2B or trade sectors
