Who are we?
We are a health technology startup building the search and data infrastructure for digital health systems of tomorrow. Our mission is simple, but the environment which we specialize in is complex.
We power enterprise-scale health organizations and healthtech startups to improve and optimize access to health care & support across North America and Europe. At our heart, we are a product & technology driven organization, and we look for people who share our vision leveraging technology to solve and scale some of the most impactful operational challenges in healthcare.
As our team expands, we are looking for a skilled and talented NLP Developer to join our ranks and help solidify the team. We need someone who is willing to leverage their expertise and experience to tackle important projects and therefore help us achieve our ambitious goals.
What are we looking for?
A FIT.
We would like the person who joins our team to be someone:
- who gets up in the morning wanting to be better than the day before, and for whom a 7/10 is not "ok";
- who wants to be part of a team and who has passion and collaboration as a must to reach a goal.
Your role
As our team grows, we need reinforcements to develop our products. Whether it's for patients searching for information or healthcare professionals, or medical staff searching in medical records, ethical and responsible artificial intelligence is at the heart of our products. We have various research and development directions, from creating embeddings to advanced language models, and we are looking for someone to help us continue to implement, train, and monitor new models, as well as work with the team of experts dedicated to managing our medical datasets. If you are someone who is always on the lookout for the latest in technology and healthcare, join us on this journey!
As a NLP Developer you will:
- Generate the best possible asymmetric “query to resources” embeddings;
- Build innovative training pipelines;
- Develop our own benchmark datasets to test our models;
- Integrate with established industry datasets and benchmarks;
- Establish a baseline to beat with our own models;
- Distill models so they can be deployed with a controlled use of resources;
- Setup monitoring and observability pipelines so we know what happens inside the model;
- Try new approaches to ranking (traditional random forest vs reinforcement learning);
- Having a strong notion of learningToRank models so they can analyze at a glance if the model architecture is viable, achievable and optimal;
- Working with Large Language Models (LLMs) to unlock new and more intelligent triage capabilities, dynamically based on the user's queries;
- Exploring OpenSource LLMs to gain a deeper control of their behavior, as well as optimize the latency to improve the overall experience;
- Indexing a knowledge base with relevant medical information.
In terms of skills, you should have:
- Experience working in natural language processing (NLP) ;
- Experience implementing, deploying and monitoring deep learning models ;
- Strong Python programming skills ;
- Experience working with Pytorch or JAX ;
- Trained machine learning models at scale using distributed computing architectures, whether on the cloud or on-premises ;
- Experience with benchmarking machine learning models ;
- Worked on projects where ethics and accountability were paramount ;
- Often worked with microservices and containerization technologies (Docker) ;
- Experience in a healthcare related project (a plus).
If you have other skills that you think would be a plus for the team, we are of course very curious to hear from you.
