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.
Machine Learning Engineering at Curai
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.
Who You Are
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
• 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
What You'll Do
• 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.
• Provide input and collaborate closely with the ML Infrastructure team towards the development of technical platforms that power ML systems at Curai, and its ML engineering infrastructure and operations.
• Enable rapid and rigorous scientific innovation by a multidisciplinary team of Curai clinicians, engineers, and researchers, through platform, tools, and documentation.
• Mentor ML interns and junior team members.
• Interview diverse talent to build and grow a strong ML engineering team.
What You'll Need
We recognize not everyone will have all of these requirements. If you meet most of the criteria below and you’re excited about the opportunity and willing to learn, we’d love to hear from you. You should have:
• “End-to-end” experience building ML production systems: Along with strong ML fundamentals, you will need expertise in 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: You will need to be able to translate product intuition into data-driven hypotheses that result in impactful machine learning/engineering solutions.
• Experience and/or interest in mentoring junior engineers.
• 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.
• 5+ years of industry experience in ML/NLP including building production systems.
The annual base salary range for this position is between $200,000 - $240,000.
