Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • Serve as the primary technical and research point of contact for healthcare customer conversations.
- • Translate a lab's model-development goals into concrete, feasible data strategies.
- • Help customers scope opportunities and identify the highest-value data available to them.
- • Explain data limitations, tradeoffs, and potential biases to technically sophisticated stakeholders while grounding conversations in what real-world data actually looks like.
- • After delivery, answer the research questions customers raise about the data we provided. Delivery is not the end of the relationship.
- • Develop and evaluate methods — fine-tuning, LLM-based extraction, classification, rules-based approaches, or whatever the problem calls for — to demonstrate that a dataset can support a customer's training or evaluation objective.
- • Design and run feasibility research pre-contract: can this data support this model objective, at what quality, with what caveats.
- • Build the evidence base that makes a data strategy credible — benchmarks, validation analyses, error characterization, and honest assessments of where the data falls short.
- • Partner with the Assessments team on healthcare benchmarks across modalities.
- • Evaluate whether requested variables, labels, or cohort definitions are achievable with available healthcare data.
- • Identify proxy variables or alternative dataset structures when the ideal variable doesn't exist.
- • Analyze partner and source datasets — schema, field availability, quality, completeness, and required transformations.
- • Contribute to our point of view on which healthcare data matters most for which modality and which stage of model development.
- • Help evaluate new data partners and identify datasets worth acquiring before a customer asks for them.
- • Produce reusable research, evidence, and technical collateral rather than starting from scratch for each opportunity.
- • Identify where a successful one-off approach should become a repeatable workflow, and work with Product and Engineering to operationalize it.
- • Help expand proven healthcare datasets across multiple customers instead of selling them once.
- • Work with Solutions and FDEs from the beginning of an opportunity.
- • Coordinate with Healthcare Data Partnerships on sourcing and with Product and Engineering on tooling.
🎯 Requirements
- • Advanced degree (PhD or Master's plus 3+ years industry experience) in machine learning, computer science, biomedical informatics, epidemiology, statistics, or a related quantitative field — or equivalent applied experience.
- • Hands-on experience building and evaluating ML or LLM-based systems for extraction, classification, or prediction on real-world data.
- • Experience working with healthcare data: claims, EMR/EHR, clinical notes, imaging, registries, or similar. You understand why real-world clinical data is messy and what that means for model training.
- • Strong Python and SQL, with the ability to work independently against large datasets.
- • Experience designing evaluations — measuring data quality and dataset representativeness.
- • Demonstrated ability to work directly with technical stakeholders and translate ambiguous goals into concrete, defensible research plans.
- • Comfort operating on a customer's timeline without lowering the standard of the research.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Competitive salary
- • Comprehensive benefits package
- • Opportunities for professional growth and development
- • Collaborative and dynamic work environment
- • Recognition and rewards for outstanding performance
