Job description
About the role
Latch builds rigorous scientific benchmarks for AI agents across biology. We're building RadiologyBench and are looking for people who work with medical images every day, whether you read studies or acquire them.
You'll decide what the right answer is for each case and build the studies that test it, from whether a scan was acquired properly to what shows. You then go through how AI agents actually handled them, including what they missed and what they reported that isn't there. The work covers MRI, CT, ultrasound and radiography, across organ systems.
Designing the task
- Write the questions that are frequently asked by radiologists or during interpretation of medical images
- Decide on the optimal answer format that the agent should use
- Decide what counts as a pass given the objective
- Review what agents are actually doing and if their approach holds up
- Help pick what is actually needed by the agent to solve the objective
Requirements
- Can work with medical images professionally and have handled thousands of studies
- Radiologist (board-certified or equivalent), radiology resident or fellow, sonographer (ARDMS or equivalent), or MRI/CT technologist (ARRT or equivalent)
- Deep experience in at least one modality (MRI, CT, ultrasound or radiography) and working familiarity with the others
- Knowledge of normal anatomy and common pathology, and ability to identify image issues: artifact, positioning, parameters
- Comfortable working with Python on interpretation and running scripts
- AI-ready, daily use of popular agents like Claude Code, with judgement to distinguish technical correctness from clinical unsoundness
- Bonus: imaging AI challenge experience (e.g. RSNA, MICCAI) or contributions to Radiopaedia
- Bonus: familiarity with public imaging archives (TCIA, MIMIC-CXR, UK Biobank, OpenNeuro)
