Clarium

Role Description Clarium builds computer vision pipelines that extract structured data from clinical images under real-world conditions. This role owns the end-to-end pipeline: object detection, identification, reconciliation, and data extraction from images captured under variable lighting, camera angles, and workflow conditions with zero tolerance for errors. You’ll design and build production-ready CV pipelines that combine state-of-the-art object detection models, multimodal LLM/LVM APIs, and barcode/label decoding to produce structured, auditable inventory data that clinical and supply chain workflows depend on. This has direct implications for patient safety, billing accuracy, and supply chain optimization. In This Role You Will - Design, build, implement and optimize multi-stage CV pipelines spanning segmentation, object detection, multimodal LLM/LVM extraction, machine-readable code decoding, and multi-source reconciliation. - Train or fine-tune detection models on custom medical supply datasets. - Build and own dataset strategy - leverage augmentation and synthetic data generation to improve the training and testing datasets when data doesn’t exist. - Monitor and improve pipeline accuracy — instrument field-level metrics, diagnose failure modes, and systematically improve precision/recall through model iteration and preprocessing optimization. - Design persistence schemas and audit data models that make every extraction independently reviewable. - Maintain and extend the async Python backend services that surface pipeline results to downstream clinical workflows. Qualifications - 5+ years experience in computer vision and object detection. - Hands-on experience training and fine-tuning detection models. - Experience building OCR pipelines for label/packaging text extraction. - Strong Python skills with experience in OpenCV, image preprocessing, and augmentation techniques. - Production experience with multimodal LLM APIs for structured data extraction and validation. - Backend engineering: FastAPI, Pydantic v2, PostgreSQL, async Python. Requirements - OCR pipelines for label/packaging text extraction. - Experience with barcode/QR/UDI decoding and preprocessing strategies that improve decode rates. - MLOps experience: Docker, CI/CD, model versioning, A/B testing. - Workflow orchestration tools (Temporal, Prefect, Airflow). - Healthcare or supply chain domain experience. - Familiarity with medical device identification standards (UDI, GS1). Skills & Tools You'll Use Need to Know: - Python, PyTorch, FastAPI, Pydantic v2, PostgreSQL, Multimodal LLM APIs, Image preprocessing, Barcode / QR decoding, OCR pipelines. Nice to Know: - Zero-shot object detection, Temporal, Prefect, Airflow. Benefits - Incentive Stock Options proportionate to your salary. - Fully remote — we're a distributed team across multiple time zones. - Unlimited PTO. - Top-tier health, vision, and dental benefits. - 401K. - The opportunity to build on a strong foundational team with deep data and engineering roots at a stage where your work genuinely shapes the product.

Role Overview We are seeking a Clinical Operational Lead who brings deep, firsthand experience in perioperative workflows and preference card management and who knows how to translate that experience into lasting technology adoption. You will serve as the primary clinical operations partner for health system clients deploying Card Optimizer, guiding perioperative teams and clinical leaders from workflow design and training through frontline adoption and sustained outcomes. This is not a technical integration role. It is a clinical operations and change management role for someone who has lived these workflows, can speak credibly with surgeons and OR directors, and has the executive presence to engage the head of clinical at a health system whether in a pre-sale conversation or a mid-implementation steering committee. This role sits within the Implementations team and has a clear path to grow into a team lead as our clinical practice scales. What You'll Do Workflow Design & Validation - Assess each client's current-state preference card workflows — how cards are built, maintained, and governed — and define a future-state model aligned to Card Optimizer's capabilities. - Partner with clinical and supply chain stakeholders to validate that platform-driven workflows will hold up in practice: in the OR, at the case cart, and through approval cycles. - Define training pathways and adoption milestones tailored to each health system's perioperative environment, staff mix, and governance structure. Clinical Training & Adoption - Develop and deliver role-specific training for surgeons, OR nurses, perioperative educators, and supply chain staff — meeting people where they are and building confidence in new workflows. - Drive frontline adoption of Card Optimizer's mobile-friendly, one-click preference card review and approval tools. - Monitor post-go-live utilization and proactively identify where adoption is lagging, diagnose the root cause (workflow friction, training gaps, stakeholder resistance), and execute a plan to close it. Clinical Stakeholder Engagement - Build trusted, peer-level relationships with surgeons, OR directors, perioperative nursing leaders, and clinical educators. - Facilitate physician engagement sessions using personalized savings scorecards, peer benchmarking, and contract-aligned substitution recommendations — framing the platform in clinical, not just financial, terms. - Serve as the subject matter expert on preference card anatomy, PRN vs. open item logic, pick list management, and procedure card standardization. Executive & Sales Support - Represent Clarium's clinical methodology in executive-level conversations — including Chief Nursing Officers, VPs of Surgical Services, and perioperative medical directors. - Support the sales process as a clinical credibility partner, helping prospective clients understand what implementation looks like from a workflow and adoption standpoint. - Prepare and deliver outcomes-focused presentations and QBR content that communicate adoption progress, workflow improvements, and realized value in terms clinical leaders care about. Playbook Development - Document workflows, training materials, and lessons learned across engagements to build a repeatable clinical implementation methodology. - As the practice grows, help define the model for how future clinical operational leads are onboarded and developed. What You Bring Required Experience - 5–10 years of hands-on experience in perioperative services, OR management, surgical services administration, or clinical supply chain — with direct involvement in preference card management and governance. - Deep familiarity with preference card anatomy: card build, PRN and open item quantity logic, pick list structure, and card change workflows. - Experience working within or alongside Epic OpTime or a comparable surgical information system (Cerner SurgiNet, Meditech, etc.). - A track record of engaging and influencing surgeons, OR directors, and perioperative staff around workflow change, supply standardization, or technology adoption. - Executive presence — comfortable and confident presenting to and holding substantive conversations with senior clinical leadership at health systems. Preferred Experience - Prior experience in a SaaS implementation, clinical informatics, or customer success role, particularly with perioperative or supply chain technology. - Background in value analysis, physician preference item (PPI) standardization, or surgical supply cost reduction. - Formal training in change management (Prosci/ADKAR) or process improvement (Lean, Six Sigma). Skills & Attributes - Fluency in perioperative and surgical supply chain terminology — capable of credible, peer-level conversations with both clinical and operational audiences. - Strong facilitation, training, and presentation skills across frontline clinical staff and executive leadership alike. - Organized and accountable — able to manage multiple concurrent client engagements with clear milestones and follow-through. - Builder mentality — comfortable with ambiguity, motivated to shape a repeatable methodology, and excited about growing something. - Willingness to travel to client sites on an occasional basis (up to 10%), primarily for go-live support and key stakeholder engagements.
