Senior Machine Learning Engineer

The Future of Healthcare Needs You

At Suki, we’re building technology that listens, understands, and gets out of the way — so clinicians can get back to being clinicians.

Our flagship product, Suki Assistant, uses cutting-edge AI to automate clinical documentation in real time, reducing the time it takes to complete notes by 72%. But that’s just the beginning.

We’re now powering the next wave of voice-enabled healthcare experiences across telehealth platforms, care delivery tools, and specialty EMRs — through Suki Platform, our proprietary AI infrastructure.

Clinicians using Suki spend over 70% less time on admin. Our customers see a 9X ROI in year one. And we’re just getting started.

Suki is reimagining the healthcare technology stack to make the lives of clinicians better.

Our tech stack includes GCP, Kubernetes, Vertex AI, Golang, Python, C++, PyTorch, JAX, Transformers, GPT, LLAMA, MoE, gRPC, Javascript.

What We’re Trying to Do (And Why We Need You)

We’re not here to tweak healthcare around the edges — we’re rearchitecting it. 

That’s where you come in.

The Machine Learning team forms the core of Suki's product, driving innovation and excellence. You'll leverage your NLP expertise to enhance our computational infrastructure and improve processes and algorithms. Working directly on the platform powering our microservices, you'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to address NLP challenges and scale our platform for thousands of doctors. You'll manage and curate large datasets, ensuring data quality and relevance for training and evaluation. You'll monitor and analyze system performance metrics, identifying areas for optimization and implementing necessary improvements. By staying updated on NLP advancements, you'll incorporate innovations to maintain our competitive edge, reducing doctors’ administrative burdens and significantly impacting their daily lives.
