Primary Duties:
- Train and fine-tune models using off-the-shelf and novel ML/AI techniques solving optimization problems for the company.
- Work with large, complex data sets. Conducting difficult, non-routine analysis and harvesting data.
- Deliver working POC solutions solving speed, scalability and time-to-market tradeoffs.
Minimum Qualifications:
- A Bachelor's degree (BA/BS/BTech) in a public health or quantitative field such as Statistics, Biostatistics, Data Science, Applied Math or Computer Science is required.
- 8+ years of relevant statistical analysis experience including predictive modeling.
- 8+ years of relevant machine learning experience (ML modeling, hyperparameter tuning, feature engineering, model validation etc).
- Background in Epidemiology, particularly use of epidemiologic principles to guide feature engineering and model interpretation across a variety of chronic conditions.
- 5-7 years of experience selecting, implementing, and optimizing ML tools and frameworks for large-scale projects.
- 3+ years of Python language experience.
- 2+ years of relevant deep learning and LLM experience.
- 2+ years experience working with large-scale distributed systems at scale and statistical software (e.g. Spark).
- Experience in addressing challenges from incomplete, unrepresentative, and mislabeled data.
- Track record of significant contributions to the field (e.g., publications, patents, or successful large-scale implementations).
Preferred KSA’s:
- A Ph.D. or Master's degree in Epidemiology, Biostatistics, or a similar health-data field is strongly preferred. We also welcome candidates from other quantitative disciplines like Statistics, Computer Science, Operations Research, Economics, and Mathematics, especially with equivalent practical experience.
- Working knowledge of the U.S. healthcare system and its financing, with a focus on Value-Based Care and Risk adjustment.
- Working knowledge of health-tech systems, such as Electronic Health Records and clinical data.
- Proficiency in communicating analysis and establishing confidence among audiences who do not share your disciplinary background or training.
- Experience with security and systems that handle sensitive data.
- Experience working with statistical software (e.g. R, SAS, Python statistical packages).
- Demonstrated leadership and self-direction.
- First-author publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at professional meetings (e.g. NeurIPS, ICML, ACL, JSM, KDD, EMNLP).
- Winners in ACIC Data Challenge, Kaggle etc.
Physical Requirements:
- Sitting for prolonged periods of time. Extensive use of computers and keyboard. Occasional walking and lifting may be required.
