Senior Machine Learning Engineer
Boston, MAML EngineeringRemote6+ YOE
Summary
Lead development of predictive ML models using healthcare data to create intelligence products for MedTech companies. Requires 6+ years building production ML models with strong Python and statistics skills.
About the role
Responsibilities
- Design, train, and validate predictive and statistical models that turn noisy healthcare data into reliable intelligence products used by MedTech commercial teams
- Frame open-ended business questions as modeling problems — selecting the right approach (classification, regression, clustering, causal inference, ensembles, etc), defining success metrics, and quantifying uncertainty
- Engineer features and conduct applied research across time-series, geospatial, demographic, insurance claims, and more datasets, to improve the coverage and signal quality of our core data assets
- Own the full model lifecycle: exploratory analysis, baseline modeling, experimentation, validation, deployment, and post-launch monitoring for drift and performance
- Partner with product managers and cross-functional stakeholders to translate customer problems into model-backed product features and to shape the roadmap
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship on statistical and ML methodology for engineers and analysts across the Data organization and across all of AcuityMD
- Document models, assumptions, and data contracts so results are interpretable and reproducible for internal and external audiences
Requirements
- 6+ years of experience in machine learning roles building and shipping statistical or machine learning models into a production environment, ideally as part of product teams delivering to external customers
- Strong foundations in applied statistics and ML — regression, classification, forecasting, clustering, experimental design, and model evaluation
- Build using agentic tools (Claude Code, Codex, etc) and invested in pushing the boundaries of what is possible with agentic development
- Translate technical recommendations and model behavior clearly and concisely for non-technical product, commercial, and customer audiences
- Hands-on experience merging and blending messy, real-world datasets — time-series, geospatial, demographic, etc — and thrive on extracting signal from noise
- Comfortable working in modern cloud data warehouses with SQL to prepare data for modeling, and collaborate effectively with data engineers on production pipelines
- Fluent in Python's data and ML stack and opinionated about preferred approaches, techniques, or model implementations
Nice to Haves
- Experience with healthcare datasets, such as medical insurance claims, prescriptions, EHR/EMR, lab test results, or patient demographic data
