Job Description As a Lead Data Scientist, you'll shape next-gen AI capabilities for Clinical Data Exchange (CDeX)-where payers and providers collaborate seamlessly. You'll build models that power prior authorization, risk adjustment, claims adjudication, and more-making data work smarter across the healthcare ecosystem. You'll also help reduce the administrative burden on clinicians, using AI to automate documentation, extract insights, and deliver real-time intelligence when it matters most. From classical ML to generative models, you'll lead with purpose designing scalable, responsible AI for real-world impact. Responsibilities growth and leadership. Responsibilities - Partner with Product Managers to turn ambitious product visions into AI-powered solutions that reshape healthcare operations and experiences. - Collaborate closely with Clinical Terminologists to ensure models are clinically sound and aligned with evolving healthcare standards and vocabularies. - Work hand-in-hand with UI Engineers and ML Engineers to bring AI models to life in intuitive, responsive, and scalable products. - Lead the full lifecycle of AI development-from ideation and research to deployment and monitoring. - Apply the latest advancements in machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI to deliver innovation at scale. - Architect high-quality, production-ready AI pipelines, ensuring robustness, accuracy, and compliance with healthcare regulations. - Develop clean, scalable code and drive best practices across the AI engineering stack. - Mentor and inspire a team of data scientists, fostering technical growth and leadership. - Contribute to planning, reviews, and retrospectives-driving continuous improvement and cross-team alignment. Anticipate and navigate technical and organizational risks to ensure project success and sustained impact. Qualifications and Experience - Proven experience architecting and deploying scalable AI solutions in production, with measurable impact across complex, real-world healthcare or enterprise systems. - Deep technical fluency in machine learning and deep learning architectures, including Transformers and other neural network frameworks-plus the intuition to choose the right tool for the right problem. - Hands-on expertise in Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative AI, with experience in advanced prompt engineering, instruction fine-tuning, and parameter-efficient tuning techniques. - Proficiency in Python is a must, with experience applying it to build and deploy AI/ML models and develop robust, scalable solutions. - Strong foundation in clinical data, with the ability to extract meaning from structured and unstructured sources and align with interoperability standards such as FHIR, C-CDA, or HL7. - Experience building models that support healthcare-critical processes like prior authorization, risk adjustment, clinical summarization, or claims adjudication is a major advantage. - Experience in building a wide range of AI models-including classical ML models, semantic search, and information retrieval systems-to power intelligent, high-precision workflows. - Familiarity with AI evaluation strategies, including data labeling, annotation workflows, human-in-the-loop review, and longitudinal model monitoring in high-stakes environments. - A natural drive to stay ahead of the curve, with the curiosity to explore cutting-edge research and the discipline to translate it into resilient, production-ready systems. - A track record of technical leadership, including mentoring junior and senior scientists, championing innovation, and cultivating an environment of curiosity and excellence. - Bonus: a strong portfolio of patents, publications, or open source contributions, reflecting thought leadership and a commitment to pushing the field forward. Preferred Qualifications: - Strong understanding of the healthcare ecosystem and proven experience delivering AI-driven solutions tailored to healthcare applications, transforming patient care and operational efficiency. - Familiarity with the latest advancements in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Generative AI, empowering you to create advanced AI systems that interpret, generate, and interact with complex healthcare data. - Proven ability to design, deploy, and scale these solutions on cloud platforms, with preference for OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure), though experience with AWS and Azure is also highly valued. Education - A PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Linguistics, or a related discipline, with a deep dive into Machine Learning and Deep Learning through your dissertation or final project, coupled with 12+ years of hands-on experience, is highly valued-but not a dealbreaker, OR A master's or bachelor's degree in a relevant field, paired with 12+ years of practical, impactful experience in the field, will also make you a strong contender. you a strong contender Disclaimer: Certain US customer or client-facing roles may be required to comply with applicable requirements, such as immunization and occupational health mandates.
