We're looking for an industry-leading Data Scientist focused on building production-level machine learning solutions. Rather than a research role, this position emphasizes applying ML/AI to real-world healthcare challenges-such as reducing costs and improving care quality. You'll work with structured and unstructured data (claims, membership, provider info, medical records, etc.) using both on-premise and cloud-based big data infrastructure.

Responsibilities

• Partner with stakeholders (R&D, Operations, Product) to assess ML/AI-driven business opportunities and risks.
• Perform exploratory data analysis to validate hypotheses for use cases.
• Document your methodology and results clearly to foster team collaboration.
• Develop, validate, and QA train ML models; collaborate with production operations for deployment and performance monitoring.
• Deliver end-to-end, value-driven solutions-covering data pipelines, model development, and user-facing applications.
• Engage in knowledge-sharing and platform design sessions to advance the data science framework.
• Provide solutions targeting payment integrity, cost reduction in audits, and quality-of-care improvements.

Qualifications
Machine Learning & Modeling

• Hands-on experience implementing machine learning solutions at scale in production environments.
• Experience with ML frameworks (e.g., Scikit-learn, PyTorch) and working with Client, business relevant datasets.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience developing and deploying ML models in commercial or operational settings.
• Solid SQL and programming experience in Python, R, and/or Scala.
• Experience with distributed frameworks such as Spark.
• Strong adaptability, confidentiality handling, task prioritization, and collaboration skills.
