We’re looking for an experienced Machine Learning Manager to grow and lead a team of AI research engineers and scientists. Our ideal candidate is a technical expert and a strong leader, able to manage and mentor, drive impactful technical decisions, and make hands-on contributions to the development of our AI-based diagnostic products. This role would be an excellent fit for a seasoned applied researcher, with several years of industry experience in delivering AI-based products.

Responsibilities

• Grow and manage a team of AI research engineers and software engineers. You will be a hiring and people manager, responsible for team growth, performance management, and mentorship.
• Own the R&D for multiple large projects end-to-end, with responsibilities ranging from dataset design and rapid prototyping to clinical testing and real-world deployment.  
• Partner with product managers and our medical team to understand product needs and translate them into thoughtful R&D decisions and roadmaps.
• Make hands-on contributions to AI R&D, focused on creating leverage for your team.
• Partner with the Chief Science Officer for strategic planning at the organization-level. 
• Lead in translating your R&D into validated software medical devices cleared by the FDA, with particular emphasis on supporting our pre-market testing.

Qualifications

• Mission-driven and passionate about improving healthcare outcomes.
• Prior management and leadership experience  growing, mentoring and developing a team effectively. You will be expected to serve as a role model for the AI team.
• Significant experience in real-world applications of deep learning. You can rapidly prototype and evaluate end-to-end deep learning solutions. You don't need to be an expert in healthcare, but it's important to have an understanding of the nuances and tradeoffs involved in bringing AI into high-impact settings. 
• Strong communication skills. You will be working with an interdisciplinary team and presenting to external parties, so our ideal candidate is able to distill and articulate complex technical concepts for non-technical audiences.
• PhD in Computer Science or a related field and 7+ years of industry experience.
