John Snow Labs is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Data Scientist to contribute to transformative initiatives within the healthcare industry. The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in developing and optimizing machine learning models, specifically within healthcare contexts. We are looking for a results-oriented individual proficient in training and fine-tuning models, building robust, production-ready model inference pipelines, and conducting comprehensive exploratory data analysis and data enrichment.
Key Responsibilities:
- Train, fine tune, and enhance LLM & NLP models using the open-source Python library ecosystem. Experience with LLMs, Generative AI, and deep learning is a significant advantage.
- Build data science and data engineering pipelines specific to analyzing clinical data, such as extracting information from medical text or images, or integrating uncertain information from multiple medical data sources.
- Collaborate with our team on customer-facing projects, utilizing your expertise to create advanced machine learning, deep learning, large language models, and time series forecasting pipelines tailored to address specific business needs.
- Ensure models are validated for issues like bias, overfitting, and concept drift to ensure reliability and effectiveness.
- Engage directly with customers, requiring strong oral and written communication skills to convey complex technical concepts clearly.
Mandatory Skills:
- Proven experience in consistently delivering real-world projects covering the key responsibilities. Knowledge that is limited to an academic setting, or to using existing APIs to building applications, is not sufficient for this role.
- Hands-on experience with OMOP, FHIR, clinical terminologies, and understanding of the patient journey.
- Strong background in healthcare-related fields such as medicine, pharma, bioinformatics, or biostatistics is highly beneficial.
- A PhD in a relevant field is preferred but not required if exceptional experience is demonstrated.
- Experience with John Snow Labs ’ technology stack, such as Spark NLP or the medical language models, is a plus.
What We Offer:
- A chance to work on cutting-edge problems in healthcare and life sciences, contributing to meaningful projects that impact patient outcomes.
- Long-term freelancing contracts with a commitment of at least 30 hours per week. We are seeking individuals, not agencies or teams.
- The opportunity to grow your skills and knowledge, working with a team of big data and data science experts in a supportive, collaborative environment.
To apply, please include the words ' John Snow Labs ' in your cover letter and detail why you believe you are the best fit for this role. This is more than just a contract — it's a chance to make a real difference.
