Data Scientist

About the Role:

We have a unique opportunity for a highly analytical Data Scientist with a specialized focus on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence. In this role, you will lead initiatives that analyze complex unstructured medical records, design AI models to extract critical insights, and optimize those models using human-in-the-loop feedback systems. You’ll collaborate closely with engineers, clinicians, and data analysts to integrate intelligent solutions into scalable system architecture. The ideal candidate will also have expertise in Python frameworks and experience with healthcare data.

•  At least 5 years of hands-on experience in NLP and AI using Python and frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Hugging Face
•  Proficiency in tools like Transformers, SpaCy, NLTK, Gensim, Pandas, and NumPy
•  Experience working with human-in-the-loop systems and healthcare professionals
•  In-depth knowledge of unstructured clinical data formats and standards including HL7, FHIR, ICD, and SNOMED
•  Expertise with SQL (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB/Elasticsearch) databases
•  Strong background in statistical modeling, performance analysis, and experimentation
•  Experience with cloud services (AWS, Azure), Docker, and ML CI/CD pipelines
•  Exceptional communication skills and ability to clearly present technical concepts to diverse audiences

Preferred qualifications:

•  Experience working in clinical or healthcare environments using NLP models
•  Exposure to clinical workflows, medical terminology, and informatics
•  Understanding of transformer-based models, attention mechanisms, and deep learning for healthcare
•  Demonstrated success integrating clinician feedback into iterative model refinement
•  Fluency in scientific computing libraries such as SciPy and use of advanced statistical techniques
