You will design, prototype and test novel clinical and digital interventions and models. You’ll leverage supervised and unsupervised machine  learning tree-based decision models, neural networks, clustering, and recommendation engines to understand and change member behavior. You will be part of an exciting team at Sword that is helping our business grow to the next level through novel applications of AI. You will have a tremendous impact on millions of lives.  Read on if you think you've got the right stuff.

• Lead data science projects to design, prototype and test novel clinical and digital interventions to understand member musculoskeletal health needs and behavioral tendencies.
• Leverage advanced programming and large datasets towards those ends, including claims, engagement data, structured and unstructured clinical notes, focused on developing domain expertise in digital health and musculoskeletal care.
• Work and collaborate with internal stakeholders (clinical affairs, analytics, marketing, clinical operations, growth) to develop strategies and data science products to solve real world problems.
• Work alongside data engineers and product managers to deploy designed and well-tested ML models into practice, helping design appropriate frameworks to test and monitor ongoing model performance (e.g. model drift, data drift) and evaluate true downstream impact on care and operations.
• Provide methodological, statistical, design and analytical guidance for new and ongoing operations and applied research projects.
• Partner with business groups in the company to identify opportunities to deploy bespoke models and create additional models to answer key questions about member behavior.

• Minimum 1 year working on multiple projects involving large data sets, including training, testing, and deploying machine learning algorithms into cloud environments, and specific experience with deep learning required (e.g., RNNs, CNNs, etc). Prior experience translating data findings and data science concepts for lay audiences, including the production of presentations for senior-level audiences (excellent verbal and written communication skills) also required.
• Strong understanding of data science and statistical concepts, computer programming, and their applications to real-world data required. Specifically, strong programming proficiency (e.g., Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, R, Spark, SQL). Prior experience with code repositories such as git or equivalent is also required.
• Ability to engage with existing ideas and champion new ones that add value to the organization. Ability to analyze problems, issues and opportunities systematically and logically to make decisions that support the mission, vision, values and goals of the organization.
• Understand the biases that data collection and sampling can introduce, and know how to design and implement methods that adjust for those biases when possible.
• Love to discover how things work through the lens of data, are not intimidated by “messy” data sets, and enjoy communicating your insights to broad audiences.
• Ability to communicate data science concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to deliver and ship results iteratively on a regular basis to executive stakeholders and produce pipeline-ready code and documentation.
• Take initiative in pushing the team’s thoughts and ideas and exploring novel applications of machine learning techniques to solve problems. Don’t just follow objectives but try to push the boundaries of what is possible in solving for thorny, complex issues as a thought leader within the team.

• A stimulating, fast-paced environment with lots of room for creativity.
• A bright future at a promising high-tech startup company valued at over $2bn.
• Quarterly travel to HQ in Porto, Portugal (voted one of the best cities in Europe) and US.
• Career development and growth with a competitive salary.
