Machine Learning Engineer (Remote)

Our mission at Curai is to make high-quality healthcare accessible to all. We are fulfilling this audacious mission by building a scalable virtual-first primary care service that provides patients with high-quality care anytime, anywhere, from any device, at a very affordable price, by blending high-touch clinical care and  artificial intelligence.

Our company is remote-first and we consider candidates across the United States.

We are looking for a Senior ML Engineer to join the machine learning team at Curai. Our team is responsible for Curai’s ML/automation technology and drives the strategy:  ML as part of the physician care team will drastically reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of providers. Your work will have a tremendous direct impact on both provider and patient-facing ML-augmented applications,  thereby providing low-friction, high-quality care to patients of Curai Health.

We are primarily a text-based service and NLP is at the core of our ML work.  With recent advances in large language models, we are seeing a tremendous acceleration in capabilities. A non-trivial part of our work involves appropriately leveraging and building on top of these models thoughtfully (and with scaffolding) to our use cases and backing them up with a sound automated evaluation. In addition, we use the in-house deidentified data as robust feedback data for continuously improving the ML models.

We are excellent collaborators, within our team and across teams with product owners,  engineers, and clinicians to deliver automated products for doctors and patients. A successful candidate will own and help engineer end-to-end, AI/ML-powered automated systems in service of better health outcomes at lower costs.

None of these individually are hard requirements, but they do describe the type of folks that we think would be most effective and happy at Curai. You…

•Are a self-starter and have a growth mindset.

•Have an ownership mentality.

•Enjoy tackling complex problems in a scientific and data-driven way.

•Thrive in ambiguity and love tackling complex problems that span multiple systems.

•Enjoy thinking through trade-offs with mindfulness of near-term needs and Curai’s long-term strategy.

•Are collaborative and appreciate working with people with diverse expertise.

•Design, build, deploy, and improve machine learning models, including those that are based on large language models.   These models are used in our patient and physician-facing product features and developed in collaboration with our clinical innovation, research, engineering, and design teams.

•Design offline and online evaluations to test ML product features, and perform data-driven analysis of the results to find actionable insights.

Enable rapid and rigorous scientific innovation by a multidisciplinary team of Curai clinicians, engineers, and researchers, through platform, tools, and documentation.

•Participate in interviewing diverse talent to build and grow a strong ML engineering team.

•“End-to-end” experience building ML production systems: Along with strong ML fundamentals, you will need exposure to the entire lifecycle of machine learning production systems, such as data processing, modeling, deployment, monitoring, maintenance, and improving the models over time using feedback loops.

•Experience in natural language processing applications

•"Product sense" or intuition on what to build: With guidance, you will need to be able to translate product intuition into data-driven hypotheses that result in impactful machine learning/engineering solutions.

•Strong communication skills: This role involves collaboration with product, engineering, clinical, and research teams. Understanding the mental models of the audience and communicating ideas crisply to this diverse set of stakeholders will be a vital part of the role. You should be comfortable leading cross-functional machine learning product initiatives, from conception to successful product outcomes.

•2+ years of industry experience in ML/NLP including building production systems.

Culture: Mission driven talent with great colleagues committed to embodying our values, collaborating closely, and driving performance

Wellness: Unlimited PTO, flexible working hours, and remote working options

Benefits: Excellent medical, dental, vision, flex spending plans, and paid parental leave

Financial: 401k plan with employer matching
