Job Description

Curai is driven by the mission to provide the best healthcare to everyone. To truly achieve this mission, we have taken a long-term view and established a strong research culture to propel innovation in telehealth primary care. You can read more about our research and our recent collaborations/partnerships with Stanford, MIT, Georgia Tech, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Vanderbilt University. 

Our current focus areas include clinical decision making (e.g medical diagnosis in-the-wild and explainability) and medical NLP (e.g. medical dialogs in the wild, summarization). These areas require research in fundamental problems in AI/ML including modeling long tail data distributions, semi-supervised/active learning strategies, low-shot learning, self-supervision, language models, and incorporating knowledge as priors.

In this role you will:

• Have huge impact and influence the direction of the company built from the ground up for hybrid ML-practitioner primary care.
• Advance the state-of-the-art in machine learning applied to primary healthcare, with practical differentiating applications into our product, and research leading to publication in top tier conferences
• Enable research to manifest in product features, in collaboration with our engineering, design, and clinical informatics teams
• Mentor research interns

An ideal candidate has:

• PhD in machine learning or related fields, or Masters with at least 3 years of experience as an applied scientist
• Publications in top-tier conferences
• Experience with a deep learning framework (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow)
• Exposure to applications of ML/NLP in healthcare and industry experience with cross-functional collaboration are all highly valued but not required

Our interview process typically consists of an initial call to meet your future manager and a technical phone call with a future teammate. This is followed by a series of conversations where you meet cross-functional partners and more teammates. This gives us a chance to learn more about you, and you a chance to learn more about us, our mission, our product, company culture, and vision. We always try to tailor our interview process to your background and interests.

We are highly committed to building a diverse and inclusive environment at Curai. In keeping with our beliefs and goals, no employee or applicant will face discrimination or harassment based on race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, age, gender, marital domestic partner status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status, or veteran status. To promote an equitable and bias-free workplace, we do not negotiate compensation outside of our existing salary bands, which we base on external data. In addition to base salary, researchers receive equity as part of their total compensation package. We also adjust compensation based on location.
