Role
Who you are
- We're currently looking to hire research scientists with experience in machine learning and natural language processing
- The ideal candidate will bring technical mastery, fluency with foundation models, genuine interest in the medical domain, and strong critical thinking skills to the role
- Strong research background, as demonstrated through papers and a graduate degree (MS or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Sciences, Mathematics, or equivalent experience
- High-impact publications at peer-reviewed AI conferences (e.g. *CL, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR)
- Significant real-world impact, as demonstrated through open source contributions and deployed technology
- Strong programming skills with proven experience crafting, prototyping, and delivering machine learning solutions into production
- Experience with deep learning libraries (e.g. PyTorch, Jax, Tensorflow) and platforms, multi-GPU training, and statistical analyses of observational and experimental data
- Must be willing to work from our SF office at least 3x per week
What the job involves
- We are a growing team of practicing MDs, AI scientists, PhDs, creatives, technologists, and engineers working together to empower people and make care make more sense
- From transcribing medical conversations to delivering key takeaways, our trailblazing work in machine learning research makes the Abridge experience possible
- At Abridge, all of our ML work has a strong research component, and all of our research scientists contribute directly to real products that impact the lives of doctors
- Advance the state of the art in medical NLP, in areas including conversation summarization, evidence extraction, outcome prediction, evaluation techniques, and experimentation
- Actively contribute to the wider research community by sharing and publishing original research
- Help to define important problems, identify appropriate baselines, develop state-of-the-art methods, and ship them into production
- Dial deeply into real-time feedback from clinicians to guide further refinements and innovations
- Be results-oriented in the face of ambiguous problems and uncertain outcomes
Our take
Summarizing key elements of healthcare conversations is crucial for both physicians and patients. Medical scribes, though effective, are costly, and the healthcare system faces funding and staffing crises. This has created a demand for more efficient notetaking solutions.
This is where Abridge comes in, it has developed a HIPAA-compliant AI platform that transcribes, structures, summarizes, and provides insights from audio or transcripts of medical conversations. It claims to work across all specialities and offers patient-friendly summaries in easy-to-understand language.
Abridge aims to alleviate pressure on the healthcare system from the patient's perspective, a unique approach among healthtech startups. While companies like Inovia, DOUB, and DeepScribe focus on assisting physicians with medical transcription AI, they lack Abridge's patient-centric features, which are valuable in enhancing the patient experience.
