Job Description Summary

Our Mission & Vision

At ModMed, we place doctors and patients at the center of care through an intelligent, specialty-specific cloud platform. We are building a world where software increases medical-practice success and improves patient outcomes.

We don’t just build tools; we build time. By innovating boldly, we automate the mundane so providers can focus on medicine. If you are ready to align your passion with purpose, we want to hear from you.

The Role: Why You Matter

As a Senior Data Scientist 1, you are the engine of our GenAI innovation. You will dive deep into the world of Large Language Models (LLMs) to solve real-world healthcare challenges—from automating clinical documentation to revolutionizing how providers search for patient insights.

This is a hands-on role where you will think big and do good, transforming raw data into "customer delight" through the power of Generative AI.

Your Day-to-Day at ModMed

• Save Time through Automation: Design and build production-ready LLM solutions for clinical summarization, semantic search, and intelligent assistants.
• Build & Refine: Fine-tune open-source models (LLaMA, Mistral) and leverage commercial APIs to create the most efficient, accurate tools for doctors.
• Master the RAG Stack: Architect and maintain Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines using vector databases like Pinecone or Weaviate.
• Experiment & Iterate: Use prompt engineering and few-shot learning to solve complex specialty-specific use cases, moving quickly from prototype to production.
• Ensure Quality: Conduct rigorous evaluations to minimize hallucinations and maximize factual accuracy—because in healthcare, precision is everything.
• Collaborate & Storytell: Work alongside MLOps and Data Engineering to scale your models, and present your findings to leadership through compelling, data-driven storytelling.
  
  

• Experience: 5–8 years in Data Science/ML, with at least 2+ years of dedicated experience in LLMs or Generative AI.
• The Toolkit: Mastery of Python and the GenAI ecosystem (Hugging Face Transformers, LangChain, LlamaIndex, PyTorch).
• Technical Depth: A solid understanding of attention mechanisms, embeddings, and transfer learning.
• Deployment Savvy: Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Architecture: Hands-on experience with vector databases, document chunking, and inference optimization.
  
  

• Experience with LLMOps pipelines and model lifecycle management.
• A background in healthcare data or clinical automation.
• Exposure to multi-modal GenAI (integrating text with images or audio).
• A deep interest in AI ethics, privacy, and hallucination mitigation.
