Job Type: Full-time W2

About the Role

We are looking for a pragmatic, hands-on Data Scientist to build and own the quantitative foundation for our clinical care delivery, patient treatment plan refinement, and retention engines.

In our specialty care model, clinical health outcomes and business growth are directly linked: matching patients to their preferred, personalized treatment path leads to higher clinical efficacy, better satisfaction, and long-term retention. In this role, you won't just work with clean tabular data; you will bridge the gap between structured clinical metrics (lab values, symptom severity scores, dosage trajectories) and unstructured patient communications (visit transcripts, ambient scribe outputs, and intake survey dialogue).

You will sit at the intersection of Data Science, Clinical Operations, and Product, serving as a core builder who transforms messy, multi-modal patient data into actionable clinical decision support and personalized care pathways.

What You’ll Do

Data Foundation & Pipeline Development

• Clean & Transform Multi-Modal Clinical Data: Build reliable, well-structured modeling tables and feature stores by parsing, cleaning, and joining raw datasets including lab results, symptom severity surveys, medication history, and raw visit transcripts.
• Establish Unstructured Data Workflows: Design robust data processing pipelines to convert unstructured clinical notes, orders and visit transcripts into structured, queryable relational tables.

Transcript Mining & Feature Extraction

• Extract Patient Intent & Preference: Build lightweight NLP and LLM-based pipelines (using entity extraction, sentiment analysis, and topic modeling) to convert ambient visit transcripts into structured features. And provide insights into patient preferences in treatment pathway, communication, and modality, etc.
• Identify Friction Points: Process qualitative dialogue to automatically detect unaddressed obstacles or early side-effect reports before they lead to treatment discontinuation.

Lookalike Cohorts & Patient Treatment Planning

• Lookalike Clustering Engine: Develop unsupervised segmentation models to cluster patients into "lookalike" cohorts based on baseline lab values, symptom profiles, and transcript-derived preferences.
• Outcome & Trajectory Forecasting: Build predictive models that estimate symptom reduction, time-to-relief, and potential side-effect risks across alternative treatment branches (e.g., immediate HRT vs. conservative step-therapy).

Causal Inference & Retention Analytics

• Quasi-Experimentation on Care Protocols: Apply observational study methods (Propensity Score Matching, Difference-in-Differences, Survival Analysis) to evaluate non-randomized care pathways and quantify counterfactual patient outcomes.
• Drop-Off & Retention Optimization: Identify critical clinical touchp
