• Adheres to standard best-practices and establishes principled experimental frameworks for developing data-driven models
• Develops models and performs experiments and analyses that are replicable by others
• Uses open-source packages and managed services when appropriate to facilitate model development
• Identifies, measures, analyzes, and visualizes drivers to explain model performance (e.g, feature importance, interpretability, bias and error analysis), both offline (in the development phase) and online (in production)
• Uses appropriate metrics and quantified outcomes to drive AI model and algorithm improvements

Skills

• Bachelor's degree (masters or PhD preferred) in a strongly quantitative field such as Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Operations Research, Bioinformatics, or Econometrics
• 0-3 years of related work experience
• Equivalent combination of education and experience
• Demonstrated knowledge of generative AI, machine learning and data science
• Ability to use well-understood techniques and existing patterns to build, analyze, deploy, and maintain models
• Effective in time and task management
• Able to develop productive working relationships with colleagues and business partners
• Strong interest in the healthcare industry
• Understanding of foundation models, transformer architectures, and techniques for working with large language models (LLMs)
• Experience with prompt engineering, fine-tuning approaches, and evaluation methods for generative models
• Strong mathematical foundation and theoretical grasp of the concepts underlying machine learning, optimization, etc
• Demonstrated understanding of how to structure simple machine learning pipelines (e.g, has prepared datasets, trained and tested models end-to-end)
• Strong foundation in data analysis
• Strong python programming skills
• Familiarity with standard data science packages
• Familiarity with standard software development best practices
• Strong SQL skills a plus
• Understanding of standard algorithms and data structures (ex. search and sort) and their analysis
• Researches, designs, develops, and implements data-driven models and algorithms using generative AI, machine learning, deep learning, statistical, and other statistical modeling techniques
