You will work closely with other engineers and scientists on the team to design and implement solutions to difficult applied problems. This is a role for someone who is ready to make an impact on the future of science and data. This person will report to the Director of AI and Engineering.

As Research Scientist / Engineer, you will :

  • Work on cutting edge solutions in healthcare data modeling and contribute to innovation in AI / ML for Healthcare
  • Keep abreast of the latest developments in the field of machine learning, and work with engineers to incorporate these developments into our technology stack
  • Develop leadership skills and help to foster a culture of collaboration and continuous learning
  • Influence culture and shape a rapidly growing startup
  • Design and implement benchmarking frameworks to evaluate the performance, robustness, and efficiency of algorithms, models, or systems.
  • Develop and maintain evaluation metrics tailored to specific domains (e.g., NLP, computer vision, multi-modal systems, distributed systems)
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (researchers, engineers, product managers) to define success criteria and validate new methods or architectures
  • Lead or contribute to experimental design, A / B testing, and statistical analysis of large-scale system behaviors
  • Analyze performance trade-offs, failure cases, and corner scenarios to improve model and system quality
  • Author internal technical reports and, where appropriate, contribute to peer-reviewed publications or open-source benchmarks

  • Familiarity with ML / DL model evaluation (e.g., accuracy, F1, BLEU, ROUGE, fairness metrics, latency) and human-in-the-loop processes
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a proven ability to communicate results clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Understanding of how to push your code "beyond the notebook", i.e. writing production quality code, API development, containerization, inference at scale.
  • Strong problem-solving abilities and attention to detail
  • Ability to be flexible, rational and open-minded
  • Bonus if the candidate has :

  • Experience generating real-world evidence from electronic medical record (EMR) data using LLM-based workflows (entity resolution, normalization, extraction)
  • Startup experience
  • The salary range for this position is $190,000 to $205,000 per year.
