Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of industry software development experience, with a background in design patterns, data structures, and test-driven development
- Bachelor's Degree or greater in Computer Science/Engineering, Statistics, Mathematics, or equivalent
- Proficient in developing production-quality software in languages such as C++, Python, or Java
- Proficient with professional software engineering practices & standard practices for the full software life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations
- Experience with cloud based environments, Kubernetes or Docker, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, etc.)
- Experience in software design and architecture for highly available machine learning systems for use cases like inference, evaluation and experimentation
- Excellent understanding of low level operating systems concepts including multi-threading, memory management, networking and storage, performance, and scale
- Excellent interpersonal and written communication skills
Desirable
- Experience in one or more relevant technical areas: natural language processing, machine learning, distributed systems, or building infrastructure for engineering/science users
- Expertise in machine learning toolchains and techniques, such as Pytorch or Tensorflow
- Demonstrated experience incubating and productionizing new technology, working closely with research scientists and technical teams from idea generation through implementation
What the job involves
- From transcribing medical parts of the conversation to delivering key takeaways, our trailblazing work in machine learning research makes the Abridge experience possible
- We're currently looking to add a machine learning engineer to our team to help us build and release more machine learning-powered value to our users
- Architect, design, and implement high-quality machine learning software applications, infrastructure, and tools
- Lead technical domains starting from the problem definition and technical requirements along with implementation and maintenance
- Collaborate with machine learning researchers and engineers to implement and deploy algorithms, such as machine learning models
- Work with stakeholders across machine learning and operations teams to iterate on systems design and implementation
- Create re-usable software and systems to accelerate development
- Profile, tune, and optimize system performance and debug production issues
- Design systems for fault tolerance, scalability, security and continuous improvement
Our take
Summarizing key elements of healthcare conversations is crucial for both physicians and patients. Medical scribes, though effective, are costly, and the healthcare system faces funding and staffing crises. This has created a demand for more efficient notetaking solutions.
This is where Abridge comes in, it has developed a HIPAA-compliant AI platform that transcribes, structures, summarizes, and provides insights from audio or transcripts of medical conversations. It claims to work across all specialities and offers patient-friendly summaries in easy-to-understand language.
Abridge aims to alleviate pressure on the healthcare system from the patient's perspective, a unique approach among healthtech startups. While companies like Inovia, DOUB, and DeepScribe focus on assisting physicians with medical transcription AI, they lack Abridge's patient-centric features, which are valuable in enhancing the patient experience.
