About The Position

The Data Scientist, Consultant will develop and deploy novel applications using machine learning, statistical methods, and generative AI. Working across partner teams, this role rapidly develops features and translates AI research into production products, taking features from 0 to 1. The position designs, builds, and ships production-grade AI products—including LLM-powered applications, AI agents and copilots, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and search, statistical models, and AI-enabled automation—embedded in customer-facing applications and enterprise workflows such as claims, payment integrity, clinical insights, and member experience. The role reports to the Director, AI & Machine Learning. The AI & Machine Learning team partners across the enterprise to accelerate business outcomes by applying machine learning, statistical analysis, generative AI, and applied AI to create “intelligence at scale.” The organization’s leadership model emphasizes developing leaders at all levels, creating growth opportunities, creative and critical thinking, high-performing teams, achieving results responsibly, and continuous learning. This is a hybrid role under a workplace model balancing in-person collaboration with flexibility. For most teams, employees come into the office two days each week. Employees living more than 50 miles from an office location will coordinate in-office time with their manager based on business need.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, statistics, a quantitative discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Seven years of experience in software development, applied AI/ML, and statistical analysis.
  • Demonstrated track record of rapidly building and shipping software products, rather than only developing models or analyses.
  • Working knowledge of machine learning and statistical analysis methods, with experience applying them to business problems.
  • Strong software engineering skills and proficiency in Python, including building APIs and backend services.
  • Experience with ML design and ML infrastructure, including model deployment, evaluation, data processing, and machine learning frameworks and libraries.
  • Hands-on experience with deep learning and LLM application frameworks, including PyTorch, TensorFlow, LangChain, and LangGraph.
  • Hands-on experience building generative AI applications, including prompt engineering and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
  • Advanced degrees in a relevant field may be considered in lieu of a portion of the required experience.

Nice To Haves

  • Master’s degree, or a PhD with relevant experience.
  • Experience with generative AI research or applications.
  • Experience building agent-based systems and working with orchestration frameworks.
  • Experience with cloud computing platforms and infrastructure such as Azure, Google Cloud, or AWS, and scalable data processing with SQL or Spark.
  • Solid MLOps and LLMOps practices, including CI/CD, monitoring, and model lifecycle management.
  • Experience rapidly developing and shipping software in a fast-paced, customer-facing environment while adapting to changing priorities.
  • Understanding of responsible AI and governance for regulated or healthcare environments.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and deploy novel applications leveraging machine learning and generative AI models, contributing to technical direction for AI, machine learning, and statistical analysis across the organization.
  • Design and develop scalable applications—including LLM applications, copilots, agents, and RAG and search—embedded in customer-facing products and enterprise workflows.
  • Rapidly prototype new features and iterate based on evaluation results and statistical analysis.
  • Contribute to architecture and development of new products and features from 0 to 1.
  • Collaborate with researchers and product managers to translate AI and machine learning research into product features.
  • Build APIs, services, and data and retrieval pipelines that expose AI and machine learning capabilities to applications.
  • Optimize software performance and ensure reliability of deployed applications.
  • Apply and promote best practices for building and deploying machine learning and generative AI applications.
  • Evaluate model performance using statistical analysis, analyze results, and implement improvements while ensuring responsible and compliant AI.
  • Provide technical guidance to less experienced team members and foster a collaborative, high-performing environment.
