About N-Power Medicine

N-Power Medicine aims to establish a new paradigm in drug development by reinventing the ‘how’ and transforming clinical trials through better integration with clinical practice, ensuring broader participation by physicians and patients. We are building an exceptional multi-disciplinary team with diverse expertise spanning healthcare, engineering, technology and regulatory, and with people who share our core value of Empowering Community through generosity, curiosity and humility. We are working with urgency to bring better therapies to patients faster. 

NPM is looking for an exceptional AI Data Scientist 2/Machine Learning Engineer to join our dynamic team and drive innovation toextract and synthesize information from unstructured clinical notes. As an AI Data Scientist at NPM, you will play a pivotal role in leveraging AI to automate clinical tasks and ultimately improve patient outcomes. You will be responsible for developing, validating, and implementing cutting-edge machine learning algorithms, including use of Large Language Models (LLM) applied to diverse healthcare data sources, e.g. electronic medical records and to generate medical reports.

Your primary responsibilities will involve developing, testing, validating, and fine-tuning AI models to ensure their accuracy in predicting outcomes of interest. You will compare 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, all while maintaining the highest ethical standards in AI and ML. In your role, you will be heavily involved in coding prototypes and building user-friendly analytics tools. 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, supporting your colleagues, innovating, and committed to continuously improving. You’re good at juggling projects, setting priorities, and allocating resources.
