Role
Who you are
- You enjoy solving real-world business problems involving data-driven optimization and ML modeling - and have been doing that successfully for a while
- You are comfortable measuring and optimizing the direct business impact of work
- You are experienced with SQL, handling large-scale data, and are comfortable with at least one programming language (Python, R, etc.)
- You have experience building ML models using modern ML approaches like Neural Nets or Tree-ensembles from scratch for new applications - making decisions relating to which supervised labels to use, the metric to optimize for, and the features likely to be useful
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Staff Data Scientist to advance our models further
- In addition to building best-in-class models, this person will create technical frameworks and tools to help the team achieve greater scale and improved business outcomes
- Master Claim Audits: Dive into various clinical and coding audits, unpacking the data that drives audit decisions, and understanding past outcomes
- Model Advancement: Curate labeled data, hypothesize new features, and develop ML models that target claims for audit with even greater precision
- Optimize Impact: Measure model performance rigorously, translating outcomes into operational insights and recommendations for our clients
- Tame Complexity: Work with vast, nuanced data pipelines derived from intricate business workflows—often unclean and undefined—to refine them for robust modeling
- Drive Team Success: Enhance data pipelines, modeling infrastructure, and team tools to level up our capabilities and decision-making efficiency
- Grow with Healthcare: Build expertise in healthcare data and make an impact on the industry. Engage with clients and internal experts to refine model insights, ensuring alignment with real business needs
Our take
Founded in 2016, Machinify's original aims were to help re-tool business operations across industries, transform data into decisions, and enable established enterprises to keep up with the rapidly digitizing space. Nowadays, the company has pivoted to employ its AI expertise specifically in the healthcare industry, where it has already found success with Payers and secured several market-leader customers.
Healthcare is one of many industries where companies have vast pools of data but struggle to make the most of it due to operational restraints. Machinify makes it easier for Payers to implement AI-powered decision-making, applying it to the authorization of treatments, review of medical claims and bills, and diagnosis of underlying conditions.
With intelligent applications seeing broader adoption in the healthcare market, the company will likely see more funding and growth in the coming years. Its acquisitions of companies such as Performant Healthcare will enable it to easily expand its AI-powered operating system, creating an even more robust offering for clients.
