• Build flexible, scalable and efficient storage solutions that are HIPAA compliant

• Build user facing UI to view and manage data

Extract knowledge from real data

• Build knowledge extraction layer on top of the raw data

• Summarize key results from Provider notes

• Extract high level important properties from raw data

What We’re Looking For

Required

• 5+ years of Data engineering experience.

• Experience working with data extraction and summarization.

• Experience working closely with end users in iterative fashion gathering feedback along the way.

• Strong backend engineering skills and systems thinking.

• Experience working with ambiguous problems and defining solutions from first principles.

• Experience turning novel techniques into testable prototypes.

Nice to Have

• Experience with evaluation frameworks and quality measurement.

• Experience with medical AI systems.

• Experience with extraction of text/data from PDFs and Images.

Example Things you’ve Done

• Built extensible data storage systems for medical data across multiple partners.

• Built data extraction, summarization, property tagging systems on top of structured or unstructured text.
