The Opportunity
As part of the Applied AI Health System Engineering team, you will lead the development of AI, GenAI, and ML solutions tailored to the complex needs of health system and health plans. As a Senior Manager, you will drive use case development across clinical decision support, population health risk stratification, clinical research, and operational efficiency - translating ambiguous healthcare challenges into production-grade AI solutions. You will architect and build production-grade RAG pipelines, MCP connections, agentic AI workflows, and MLOps frameworks, managing daily operations across global delivery teams while engaging health system leaders at the executive level to ensure measurable clinical and operational impact.
Responsibilities
- Oversee the development of healthcare AI and GenAI solutions, including clinical use case design, analytical modeling, prompt engineering, and RAG pipeline development
- Lead large healthcare data science engagements, innovating delivery processes and driving continuous improvement across use case development lifecycles
