Company mission

Anomaly is on a mission to bring precision payments to healthcare.

Role

Who you are

  • Standard knowledge of Python data-science stack
  • 5+ years in software engineering experience
  • Hacker mindset
  • Experience building out production-ready machine learning solutions

Desirable

  • Exposure to PySpark, PyTorch, Snorkel
  • Experience working in a fast-paced, innovative environment

What the job involves

  • Write production-level machine learning models
  • Executing cutting-edge ML techniques to predict insurance payment amounts, denials, and overpayments with high precision, recall, and explainability
  • Making infrastructural choices in order to ensure that the trained models scale well across hundreds of millions of health insurance claims
  • Collaborate with the team to build internal tools to support our company mission
  • Working with domain experts in the health insurance field to incorporate their knowledge into trained models
  • Building interactive internal tools to obtain expert feedback for the purposes of model validation
  • Have strong impact on innovative engineering projects
  • Running unsupervised anomaly detection on millions of heterogeneous health-insurance features using PySpark
  • Shining a bright light on black-box models to make all anomalous signals easily interpretable
  • Interacting with domain experts and encoding their experience into simple heuristics. Pushing these heuristics to production for the purposes of weak supervision
  • Training large-scale, weakly-supervised ML models using tools like Snorkel. Making sure these models are interpretable
  • Tweaking models using expert feedback. Building dashboards to solicit that feedback using human-in-the-loop training techniques
  • Experimenting with transformer model applications using the Pytorch / Tensorflow libraries

Otta's take

Theo Margolius headshot

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

The most serious healthcare problem faced by most Americans is affordability. In fact, a 2022 poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that about half of US adults report difficulties affording health care costs, with roughly four in ten delaying or avoiding medical care due to cost.

One big issue affecting the affordability of healthcare is how payments are handled. Billions is lost every year to avoidable denials and payment errors, with patients ending up with increased costs as a result - which is what Anomaly sets out to fix.

The company partners with healthcare companies to build novel technology to reduce friction in healthcare payments. Its key product, Smart Response, uses AI to identify and correct avoidable claim errors before they are processed by the payer, so that providers and patients can avoid expensive denials before they occur.

Boasting over 97% precision, Anomaly's AI claim prediction engine is the foundation of its value. Working alongside what it calls "forward-thinking" payers and providers, the company is moving ahead towards it vision of more streamline healthcare payments, with the potential to have a positive effect on the lives of patients throughout the country.

Company values

  • Seek feedback at 30%: We ask for feedback uncomfortably early, and offer it proactively (and respectfully) to others
  • Move with urgency: Our customers needed our product yesterday. We move fast—but not too fast—to bring our solution to market
  • Think 10x: We celebrate incremental improvements, but we always look for the step-function win
  • Be willing to sit on the floor: No one is too senior to jump in and get the job done
  • Default to open: We internally share everything we can, creating a culture of trust and empowerment
  • Be kind: We take our work seriously, but we’re never too busy to be kind
