Director of AI/ML

About This Opportunity

Our talent team is representing a venture-backed healthcare technology organization on a critical leadership search. This Director of AI/ML role offers the opportunity to shape the technical vision for machine learning products that directly impact patient care in hospital systems nationwide.

This is a hands-on leadership position at an early-stage company where you'll build and scale an AI/ML organization while remaining deeply involved in modeling work. You'll partner across engineering, product, and clinical teams to translate complex healthcare workflows into breakthrough ML solutions.

Responsibilities

• Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing AI/ML team while establishing technical standards, career development frameworks, and a culture of excellence
• Define and execute the ML roadmap, partnering with engineering to architect data warehousing solutions, ML infrastructure, and pipelines that enable rapid prototyping and deployment at scale
• Contribute directly to critical modeling, evaluation, and analysis work—from research studies to production model performance experiments
• Collaborate cross-functionally to translate clinical workflows into ML opportunities and communicate model performance to technical and non-technical stakeholders, including customers and investors
• Ensure ML systems deliver measurable clinical impact while meeting the rigorous standards required in healthcare environments

What We're Looking For

Required qualifications:

• Ph.D. in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Statistics, or related field
• 8+ years of experience shipping production ML products
• 3+ years leading ML teams in early-stage startup environments
• Proven track record building and scaling data science and ML engineering teams in resource-constrained settings
• Deep technical expertise in production ML systems and data infrastructure, including hands-on experience with data warehousing, real-time prediction, model monitoring, and performance evaluation
• Experience working with healthcare or similarly regulated industries where model decisions have high-stakes real-world consequences

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience leading ML organizations through 0-1 product development in healthcare or clinical settings
• Hands-on experience with clinical data standards (HL7, FHIR, EHR) and healthcare ML challenges including data quality, time-series forecasting, and anomaly detection
• Strong technical background in data platform architecture, including modern data warehousing solutions (Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift), streaming data systems, and ML infrastructure tools
• Track record of publishing research, speaking at conferences, or contributing to the broader ML community while delivering business results
• Passion for building impactful healthcare technology in fast-paced, scrappy environments
