In this role, you will lead model development projects from initial scoping to production and delivery. You will provide technical leadership by shaping roadmaps and guiding technology decision.

In addition, you'll also:

  • Interface with internal scientific stakeholders and customers to understand what data they need to conduct high quality research.
  • Build models to turn raw clinical data into high quality research variables, drawing on your knowledge of LLMs, traditional ML, and NLP techniques to determine the right methods to use for a given problem.
  • Work with quantitative scientists and oncologists to validate that your models can be used to generate sound scientific insights.
  • Collaborate with other Data Scientists to accelerate our ML capabilities and develop novel approaches to clinical data extraction from unstructured health records.
  • Work cross-functionally with software engineers to productionize, scale, and monitor your models.
  • Embed with our Data Product teams in the UK, Germany, and Japan to support them in the adoption of newly developed AI solutions into their processes and pipelines.
  • Mentor and support career growth for other engineers on the team.

Who You Are
