We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Machine Learning to help us accomplish our mission to improve lives by learning from the experience of every cancer patient. Here's what you need to know about the role, our team and why Flatiron Health is the right next step in your career. 

At Flatiron, we use real-world oncology data to improve care and accelerate research. Our machine learning teams expand the scope of what we can achieve with our unique data.

You’ll have the opportunity to work on the machine learning team having a measurable impact in healthcare, get mentorship from senior technical and clinical leaders, and participate in the broader ML-healthcare community through external speaking and publication opportunities.

You're excited by the prospect of rolling up your sleeves and using technology to tackle meaningful problems every day. You love simple approaches to complex problems and would be excited about working on a multi-disciplinary team. You’re a kind, passionate, and collaborative problem-solver who seeks and gives honest feedback and values the chance to improve the lives of cancer patients. You:

  • Hold a BS, MS, or PhD in computer science or a related field
