Position Overview
NPM is looking for an exceptional Director AI / ML (Engineering | Data Science) to join our dynamic Data Science & AI team and drive innovation to automate the extraction and synthesis of information from unstructured clinical data (e.g., medical-, radiology-, and pathology notes, imaging data). Your primary responsibilities will include developing, testing, validating, implementing, and fine-tuning cutting-edge AI / ML methods — e.g., Large Language Models (LLMs) — applied to diverse healthcare data sources from our partner health system EHRs. The role also requires the mentoring of a small team of junior AI data scientist(s) / engineer(s).
You and your team will compare AI / ML model performance using statistical metrics and demonstrate their effectiveness through rigorous statistical analysis and error estimation. You will collaborate in cross-functional teams to identify key areas where AI solutions can drive significant business benefits and reduce cost, all while maintaining the highest ethical standards in AI and ML. In your role, you will be directly involved in coding prototypes and building user-friendly analytics tools, as well as supporting the software development for high-performance AI / ML models. This role offers an exciting opportunity to work on groundbreaking projects, stay at the forefront of AI technology, and make a meaningful impact on healthcare.
You enjoy sharing your expertise, innovating, working in a highly cross-functional environment that includes oncologists, clinical research staff, and technical staff, mentoring direct reports, and are committed to continuous improvement. You’re good at juggling projects, setting priorities, and allocating resources. Your written and verbal communication is clear and persuasive, and you build strong, trust-based relationships with your team, reports, peers, and customers.
This is a hybrid on-site role, Bay Area is required.
