Overview
Role Overview
We’re looking to hire a product-minded Data Scientist with a sound theoretical knowledge foundation. You will own end-to-end problem framing, timeline scoping, experimental design, and model iteration. You'll work closely with our CEO and small team to launch new models quickly and safely by leveraging and expanding on our existing feature tables. You will also run retrospective pilots to estimate clinical and financial impact (reimbursement lift, LOS reduction, mortality reduction) and support pre-sales by meeting AI / Data Science leaders at world-class health systems to share your clinical and financial model assumptions and development methodologies.
Outcomes You’ll Drive
- Condition expansion velocity : Idea → signal & label viability using current EHR data → validated model → customer-ready (for viable use cases, weeks, not months).
- Improving patient health outcomes : Quantified length of stay (LOS) reduction, readmission reduction, mortality reduction, with clear confidence intervals and robust counterfactuals.
- Pilot → production conversion : Run retrospective analyses on hospital data to prove impact, then transition validated pilots into live deployments that deliver measurable outcomes.
