Role
Who you are

- You have a solid foundation in feature engineering, feature selection, and AI techniques
- You have experience interpreting, modifying, and debugging the inputs and outputs of production ML models
- You have both built and refactored parts of distributed systems, especially ML systems
- You want to create impact with your work by finding ML-driven insights in the data to unlock value and improve health outcomes for real people
- You are comfortable acting autonomously on tasks in ambiguous and changing environments
- You value collaboration and feedback. You can communicate technically in clear terms— to your teammates and across the technology team more broadly
- You are willing and able to help your teammates grow by providing (and receiving) respectful and constructive feedback, and disclosing your unique insights with everyone
- You enjoy working in a fluid environment, defined by priorities that adapt to our larger goals. You can bring clarity to ambiguity on projects while remaining open-minded to new information that might change your mind

Our take
Clover Health is a medical insurance company operating as a Preferred Provider Orgaization for Medicare Advantage, the Medicare plan for elderly American citizens. It aims to reduce the doctor-insurer friction to increase visibility into the health of patients.
Through its approach, Clover's physicians are able to focus on people, rather than paperwork. It has a patient-centered analytics and dedicated care management team, and thus is able to rapidly identify potential healthcare risks to provide preventative care. This helps to provide a more sophisticated level of care than existing providers, even if its market share is relatively slim compared to competitors like UnitedHealthcare and Humana.
Over the years it has performed well in a rapidly growing market, but in 2021 ran into issues with profitability in the market due to inefficient costings, an issue it is steadily nipping in the bud in 2023. However, the number of elderly Americans has doubled over the past 25 years, and the market is expected to do the same between now and 2025. This upward trend brings hope of revitalising the growth and strong financial performance Clover has seen in recent years, especially as it focuses more on profitability through 2023.
