Senior Applied Scientist

Join Garner as a Senior Applied Scientist, where you will design, develop, and deploy algorithmic systems that drive meaningful impact for our members. You will own production systems end-to-end, frame messy real-world healthcare and business constraints into clear objectives, and choose the right approach for each problem. You will also build a deep understanding of the healthcare economy and Garner's place in it.

• Design, develop, and deploy algorithmic systems that power Garner's products and drive meaningful impact for members.
• Own production systems end-to-end, framing the problem, defining the objective function, choosing the right approach, shipping it, and improving it against real-world outcomes.
• Serve as a technical resource for others, framing messy, real-world healthcare and business constraints into clear objectives, tradeoffs, and decision frameworks.
• 4+ years of industry experience as an Applied Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, Research Scientist, or equivalent; or 2+ years of industry experience with a relevant advanced degree, PhDs preferred
• Strong applied problem-solving skills, with the ability to define good metrics and then deliver solutions that improve them
• Strong communication skills and the ability to synthesize complex algorithmic ideas for senior and external stakeholders, and to secure buy-in for cross-team work
• Deep technical range, with fluency across Garner's data and a habit of staying current with advances in the field
• A desire to be a part of a high-performing, mission-driven team that operates with urgency, a strong sense of individual accountability, and a commitment to authentic feedback
• A bias toward action, quickly translating ideas into working prototypes to test approaches
• Strong judgment in choosing between statistical models, heuristics, optimization approaches, and simpler algorithmic methods depending on the problem
