  • Integrate LLMs and machine learning models with APIs, data pipelines, enterprise applications, and other technology platforms to move solutions from experimentation into production.
  • Partner with product, engineering, technology, clinical, and business clients to translate requirements into appropriate statistical, machine learning, and AI approaches.
  • Evaluate data quality, model performance, and analytical outputs and troubleshoot issues across data, AI/ML workflows, and production solutions.
  • Communicate analytical approaches, findings, limitations, and recommendations to technical and non-technical audiences and contribute best practices across data science, experimentation, AI/ML, and analytical solution development.

  • Experience developing AI/ML solutions that integrate with APIs, data pipelines, enterprise applications, analytics products, or data platforms.
  • Experience developing, deploying, or orchestrating AI/ML solutions within cloud-based environments such as AWS, Azure, Palantir Foundry, or comparable platforms strongly preferred.
  • Demonstrated ability to work with large, complex, and disparate datasets and translate data into scalable analytical solutions.
  • Experience communicating complex analytical concepts and findings to technical, business, and executive audiences and collaborating across engineering, product, technology, clinical, and business teams.
  • Experience with healthcare data, healthcare operations, finance, revenue cycle, clinical workflows, or hospital performance analytics strongly preferred, including exposure to claims, electronic medical record, financial, billing, or operational data and platforms such as Epic Clarity/Caboodle, Cerner CCL-Discern/PowerInsight, or Palantir Foundry.
