Job description

Our global team support products education electronic health records that introduce students to digital charting and prepare them to document care in today’s modern clinical environment. We have a very stable product that we’ve worked to get to and strive to maintain. Our team values trust, respect, collaboration, agility, and quality., In this role, you will design and deliver advanced AI, NLP, and generative AI solutions that power knowledge discovery and decision support. You will work with complex scientific data and apply modern machine learning and LLM-based approaches to build scalable, reliable systems with real user impact. You will also collaborate across teams to turn complex challenges into practical, production-ready solutions., * Design, build, and evaluate advanced AI/ML, NLP, and generative AI solutions for scientific and knowledge-discovery applications.

  • Develop LLM-powered workflows and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems for search, summarization, question answering, and evidence-grounded insight generation.
  • Build intelligent retrieval, ranking, recommendation, and decision-support capabilities using modern orchestration frameworks and AI techniques.
  • Integrate scientific metadata, ontologies, taxonomies, and knowledge assets into scalable AI workflows.
  • Establish robust evaluation, experimentation, and monitoring frameworks to ensure quality, trust, performance, and reliability.
  • Write production-ready Python code and partner with engineering teams to deploy solutions at scale.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentoring to support high-quality delivery and continuous improvement., Working flexible hours - flexing the times when you work in the day to help you fit everything in and work when you are the most productive
