Role

Who you are

  • Impact - You’re deeply mission-driven and you think there’s more to life than software that enables puppy ears to be superimposed on photos. Although we concede those are cute
  • Data Science - You have experience developing production software involving building data models for consumer or industrial applications. You are familiar with robust and scalable infrastructure for visualization and presentation
  • Product passion - You care about the bits you ship ending up in users’ hands, and work backwards from user needs to come up with solutions to problems
  • Entrepreneurship - You’re a self-starter who loves to own things end-to-end. You don’t ask for permission - you’re too busy making things happen
  • Team player - You know how to make those around you better and feed off their energy. You take care of your teammates
  • Curiosity - You like to prototype mobile apps based on the latest psychological research in habit formation in your free time? You open sourced your own neural network library? Boy have we got some fun things for you…
  • You have a BS, MS or PhD in computer science or a related field with focus on data science or machine learning

What the job involves

  • Develop algorithms and design highly scalable software solutions for real world problems using data science and machine learning
  • Collaborate with domain experts in fields like AI and NLP. Our engineers made major contributions to projects such as Amazon Go and TensorFlow
  • Work with top-flight software and hardware engineering talent from places like Google, Amazon, Nvidia, Palantir, and NASA JPL
  • Own entire projects while working alongside cross-functional teams of doctors, designers, and operators
  • Your work will directly contribute to saving and improving people’s lives. For real. :)

Our take

Many believe the global healthcare system is inadequate, expensive and in need of a new approach. It's not only important to provide reactive care, but also to prevent catastrophes from happening.

Forward is a medical startup that prioritizes preventative care and focuses on improving how healthcare works in order to lower costs. It relies on technology and AI to consolidate patients' medical records and monitor health risks. Patients pay a monthly fee for membership and can monitor their preventative care plan on the Forward app.

The healthcare industry is estimated to be worth over $10 trillion. The company plans to build the first billion-person healthcare system on top of its platform, changing it from a service to a product. Disrupting the industry is one thing, but reinventing the healthcare system with such an ambitious mission is a huge challenge, even if it does have more than $325 million in funding from investment firms and celebrities alike.
