AI SCIENTIST I (HEALTHCARE)

Hybrid (Office 3 days/wk – Onsite-Flex) within Oregon, Washington, Idaho or Utah

Build a career with purpose. Join our Cause to create a person-focused and economically sustainable health care system.

Every day, Cambia’s Applied AI Team is living our mission to make health care easier and lives better. AI Scientists work with various stakeholders to design, develop, and implement data-driven solutions. This position applies expertise in advanced analytical tools such as generative AI, machine learning, deep learning, optimization, and statistical modeling to solve business problems in the healthcare payer domain. AI Scientists may focus on a particular area of the business such as clinical care delivery, customer experience, or payment integrity, or they may work across several areas spanning the organization.

In addition to expertise in generative AI, machine learning, deep learning and analytics this role requires knowledge of data systems, basic software development best practices, and algorithm design.

AI Scientists work closely with AI team members in the Product and Engineering tracks to collaboratively develop and deliver models and data-driven products. AI Scientists also collaborate and communicate with business partners to design and develop data-driven solutions to business problems and interpret and communicate results to technical and non-technical audiences – all in service of making our members’ health journeys easier.

If you're a motivated and experienced AI Scientist looking to make a difference in the healthcare industry, apply for this exciting opportunity today!
