About the role

  • We're at an inflection point where cutting-edge AI meets real clinical impact, giving clinicians hours back each day to focus on what matters most - their patients.
  • This role reports to the CTO and plays a central part in defining the next generation of clinical AI infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Research and implement clinical NLP pipelines for automated E&M coding and ICD-10 classification
  • Design and evaluate note quality scoring systems using LLMs and structured clinical rubrics
  • Create specialty-specific language models (e.g., gastroenterology, dermatology, emerging markets)
  • Design and prototype agentic AI systems for clinical decision support and documentation assistance
  • Optimize models for real-time inference with sub-200ms latency requirements
  • Build rigorous evaluation frameworks for clinical accuracy, MDM validation, and MIPS quality measure compliance
  • Collaborate with clinical experts to validate outputs and ensure alignment with regulatory and documentation standards
  • Proven ability to design and build production-grade ML pipelines at scale

Requirements

  • Strong expertise in PyTorch or TensorFlow
  • Deep experience with transformer architectures and large language models
  • Strong understanding of model optimization techniques (quantization, distillation, pruning)
  • Experience working with cloud ML platforms (AWS SageMaker, GCP Vertex AI, or equivalent)

Nice to have

  • Experience with speech recognition systems (Whisper, Conformer architectures, etc.)
  • Publications in leading ML/NLP conferences
  • Experience deploying models in regulated environments (e.g., GovCloud, HIPAA-compliant systems)
  • Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow
  • Transformer-based LLM architectures
  • Triton Inference Server (AWS GovCloud deployments)
  • AWS (SageMaker, EKS, S3, Lambda)
  • Real-time inference systems with strict latency constraints (<200ms)

Compensation

  • Meaningful equity compensation

Benefits

  • Develop and optimize models for medical speech recognition across 200+ specialties
  • 5+ years of experience in machine learning research or ML engineering with a focus on NLP and/or speech recognition
