Jan 18, 2025

Senior ML/NLP Data Scientist and SDE | Remote or NYC

Olli Health is a TechStars NYC ‘24 startup dedicated to modernizing home healthcare with advanced AI tools and we are growing! We’re looking for a creative, low-ego, collaborative, startup-native engineer who is energized by challenging, nuanced problems with the potential to have a massive impact. The ML/NLP Data Scientist & SDE will be pivotal in shaping our product as we strive to improve home healthcare operations. This role will be responsible for running ML experiments, designing data pipelines, improving efficiency, and shipping features.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and run both classic ML/NLP and LM-focused experiments to optimize model performance.

  • Build and maintain data pipelines for analytics and ML-ready datasets.

  • Design and implement evaluation infrastructure to enable local experiments while maintaining paths to productization.

  • Work with external customers and our internal user-base to identify opportunities for improvement, improve workflows, and directly observe our work in daily use.

  • Ship priority customer-demanded features that touch the full stack.

Requirements:

  • ML expertise: Experience in training, evaluation, and iteration of large supervised learning models in either the industry or academic setting (Pytorch or TensorFlow)

  • NLP expertise: Strong NLP fundamentals (NER, embeddings, full-text search) and great intuition for when to use them over newer approaches

  • Technical Skills: Familiarity with git, task tracking, and producing readable, quality code.

  • Startup mentality: An enjoyment of that early startup balance between efficiency, scalability, and shipping fast to meet customer needs.

  • Flexible problem solving: Equally interested in reviewing CS conference papers, benchmarking SOTA algorithms, or implementing novel approaches – and wise enough to know which approach is most likely to be the highest leverage in the current context.

  • Authorization: Must be authorized to work in the US (no visa sponsorship available).

Desirable Skills (Bonuses):

  • Proven success in the Seed/Series A stage fast-paced startups

  • An appreciation for the challenges of building with LMs (healthy skepticism a must)

  • Experience with our stack: AWS, PostgreSQL, Redis, Python, Pytorch, React

  • Experience building data pipelines for analytics and ML-ready datasets

  • Experience working with healthcare datasets (e.g. payer claims data, clinical notes, EHR charts, ICD-10 coding, etc.)

  • Experience building secure systems with HIPAA compliance as a core principle

What We Offer:

  • This is a key early engineering FT role with equity vesting options

  • A chance to be at the forefront of healthtech innovation, and use emerging AI & ML capabilities towards positive impact (ie improve the lives of real clinicians and real on-the-ground health providers)

  • Fully remote

  • A collaborative and inclusive work environment that prioritizes debate, and ethical decision-making, and is allergic to inflated egos

  • Flexible remote-first work environment with travel to quarterly team onsite meetings

    • Some preference will be given to candidates based in NYC who can meet up with a local engineering team more frequently

  • Opportunities for professional growth and leadership

  • Compensation Range: $175,000 - $200,000 annual FTE base comp + equity options

  • Benefits: Health, vision, dental, life insurance, unlimited PTO, 401K plan
