AI Scientist

Insight Global is looking for an AI Scientist to join a dedicated team building and evolving a clinical data platform serving the clinical operations space. You will design and implement machine learning models that power insights across the clinical trial lifecycle — working with large-scale healthcare datasets spanning publications, clinical trials, medical claims, and provider data.

This is a backend, data-intensive role. You will work at the intersection of machine learning research and production data systems, building models that run at scale and integrate into real-world clinical workflows. You should be comfortable moving from research to implementation in a fast-paced, applied setting.

Responsibilities Include:
· Design, develop, and deploy machine learning models to extract insights from clinical and healthcare data — including NLP tasks across publications, trial records, and medical claims
· Build and optimize ML pipelines on large-scale distributed systems using Apache Spark and cloud-native tools
· Work with structured and unstructured data sources to develop predictive models, classification systems, and entity resolution approaches
· Collaborate with data engineers to integrate ML models into production ETL pipelines and ensure scalability and reliability
· Partner with MLOps teams to operationalize models — including monitoring, retraining, and versioning workflows
· Evaluate and benchmark model performance and present findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

· Strong proficiency in Python; working knowledge of SQL and R
· Deep experience with ML frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch
· Proven experience building and running models on large-scale data pipelines using Apache Spark (PySpark)
· Exposure to NLP techniques — including text classification, named entity recognition, information extraction, and transformer-based models
· Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure preferred) and tools such as Databricks, Delta Lake, and Kubernetes
· Comfortable working independently in a remote setting with a distributed, cross-time zone team

· Background in healthcare, life sciences, pharma, or clinical research is a strong plus
