Senior Applied Researcher in AI/ML at PointClickCare, leveraging AI technologies to solve healthcare challenges. Empowering healthcare professionals with advanced solutions and collaboration in a dynamic environment.
Responsibilities
Apply machine learning and AI techniques including GenAI and LLM-based approaches to develop model systems and solutions, collaborating across functions to scale and integrate these into large-scale cloud-based SaaS production environments for healthcare.
Work with product leaders, clinical informaticists, data scientists, UI/UX researchers, engineers, and healthcare professionals to design and deliver high value solutions.
Design, build and evaluate solutions that may involve structured or unstructured data for healthcare use cases, delivering capabilities such as predictive models, summarization, recommenders, semantic search, extraction, classification, or other AI/ML applications.
Perform research and experimentation to select appropriate approaches, algorithms, and evaluation methods, and execute the R&D needed to deliver production-ready model systems.
Perform data collection, cleaning, analysis, prompt tuning, parameter fine-tuning, model training, development, and evaluation—using existing or developing new tools or workflows as needed.
Apply and help evolve responsible AI evaluation practices, using approaches and frameworks such as LLM-as-judge, RAGAS, and LangSmith, and design and implement custom model performance and quality metrics as needed to ensure model quality, fairness, and safety at scale.
Contribute to a collaborative team culture, sharing knowledge and helping develop new capabilities across the organization.
Requirements
