Data Scientist 4

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.

• 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
