Staff Ai/Ml Infrastructure Engineer (Permanent Remote, US)

As a Staff AI/ML Infrastructure Engineer, you will lead teams of engineers to develop ways to harness knowledge from one of the most extensive data sets of medical records, diagnoses, claims, and prescriptions. In this process, you will improve the efficacy of patient identification and delivery methods. You will enjoy the flexibility of being a part of a U.S.-based, permanently remote engineering and platform team. You will engage with stakeholders across multiple teams to lead the design, development, and productization of machine learning systems and solutions that help improve health outcomes for patients.

At Aledade, you will sit at the intersection of:

A huge problem; amounting to trillions of dollars of waste in U.S. Healthcare spending.

An approach that moves the needle; In the U.S., we wait until someone has a stroke, then are hospitalized. From there, no expense is spared. Using technology, Aledade changes that by enabling doctors to intervene with the proper preventive care, like blood pressure control, before it becomes a stroke.

A platform that works at scale; last year 11,000 physicians across 36 states served ~1.7M patients, saving 24,000 unnecessary hospitalizations and 120,000 visits to the emergency room using Aledade's technology.

But the journey is only 1% done, come join us to build a world-class team that will not quit till it addresses the trillions of dollars of suffering in U.S. healthcare spending
