Job Description
Principal Applied Machine Learning Scientist
Omada Health
• Lead research and development of individual- and population-level health trajectory models that predict future member states, risks, and likely progression paths using messy, real-world longitudinal healthcare data. • Produce high-quality experimental evidence and technical recommendations that can lead to tangible product features and have a real impact on individual and population health trajectories. • Lead the design of next-best-action algorithms that convert predicted trajectories into intervention decisions tailored to a member’s current context and likely future path. • Research and apply advanced decision and recommendation policies to safely optimize intervention choice in a healthcare environment. • Define objective functions, reward signals, and policy constraints that balance engagement, clinical effectiveness, fairness, and operational feasibility, partnering with product and clinical teams to ensure outputs are actionable and interpretable. • Serve as the senior scientific lead for algorithmic and evaluation rigor in trajectories and next-best-action, setting standards for problem formulation, evaluation, and publication-quality analysis. • Mentor other scientists and data scientists on advanced methods in temporal modeling, reinforcement learning, and causal inference. • Collaborate closely with platform, MLOps, and product engineering teams to ensure research outputs can be productionized reliably and monitored appropriately.
Job Requirements
- Ph.D. in Computer Science, Statistics, Machine Learning, Biostatistics, Applied Mathematics or a related quantitative field is required, will consider a Master’s with substantial, directly related experience at a senior level.
- Multiple years of post-secondary education experience in machine learning research or applied research science, with a strong record of delivering novel algorithms or high-impact ML systems in production.
- Deep expertise in time-series or longitudinal modeling, healthcare prediction, recommender systems, reinforcement learning, causal inference, or adjacent research areas relevant to trajectories and next-best-action decisioning.
- Strong proficiency in Python and modern ML tooling, along with experience deploying models into production environments on cloud platforms such as AWS SageMaker or equivalent.
- Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous business questions into well-scoped technical problems, communicate tradeoffs clearly to non-technical stakeholders, and incorporate feedback into model and metric design.
