Software Developer III, ML Launchpad

Verily•Waterloo, ON

About The Position

Verily Health is a data platform and technology company purpose-built to power AI-enabled precision health solutions that accelerate research and improve care for individuals and communities. Uniquely positioned at the intersection of technology, data science, and healthcare, Verily transforms multimodal health data into insights, models, and actions that make healthcare more personalized, predictive, and precise. As an ML Software Developer at Verily you will be supporting our core mission to drive innovation in evidence generation for research and care decisions. We are building new types of longitudinal datasets that have foundations of RWD sources, such as EHRs (electronic health records) and claims data, and are augmented with prospective data collection. You will develop and deploy models that enable scalable curation of RWD. This will include multi-source integrations and reconciliations, creating derived features from the source data (e.g., abstraction of clinical concepts from unstructured data), and facilitating data quality assessments. You will work with a diverse cross-functional team to build reusable and scalable tools, systems, and products that unlock information from multi-modal structured and unstructured healthcare and life science data. Our team is responsible for integrating and combining data from a variety of sources (e.g. EHR, ePROs, Digital Biomarkers, devices), building ML pipelines in order to provide curated data sets with ML insights that can contribute to clinical and research goals. In addition to research we are building AI tools for our care products to improve patient experience. Be at the forefront of innovation and tackle exciting challenges within a collaborative and dynamic work environment.
