M Odel Advancement: Curate labeled data, hypothesize new features, and develop ML models that target claims for audit with even greater precision.
Optimize Impact: Measure m odel performance rigorously, translating outcomes into operational insights and recommendations for our clients.
Tame Complexity: Work with vast, nuanced data pipelines derived from intricate business workflows-often unclean and undefined-to refine them for robust modeling.
Drive Team Success: Enhance data pipelines, modeling infrastructure, and team tools to level up our capabilities and decision-making efficiency.
Grow with Healthcare: Build expertise in healthcare data and make an impact on the industry. Engage with clients and internal experts to refine m odel insights, ensuring alignment with real business needs.
What You Bring:
You enjoy solving real-world business problems involving data-driven optimization and ML modeling - and have been doing that successfully for a while.
You are comfortable measuring and optimizing the direct business impact of work.
You are experienced with SQL, handling large-scale data, and are comfortable with at least one programming language (Python, R, etc.).
You have experience building ML models using modern ML approaches like Neural Nets or Tree-ensembles from scratch for new applications - making decisions relating to which supervised labels to use, the metric to optimize for, and the features likely to be useful
