Who you are

We are looking for a few specific things that will help you succeed in this role:

• 7+ years of experience in data science, machine learning engineering, or a closely related field

• Strong Python proficiency and fluency across the core data science stack: pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, PySpark, and SQL

• Demonstrated end-to-end ML experience: you have taken models from problem definition through feature engineering, validation, deployment, and monitoring in a production environment

• Experience with NLP techniques and applying language models to real-world problems

• Comfort with prompt engineering and evaluating external AI API performance (e.g., OpenAI)

• A track record of operating with high ownership in lean, fast-moving environments where you have had to build structure as much as execute within it

• Strong analytical communication skills — you can translate complex model outputs and data findings into clear, actionable narratives for technical and non-technical audiences alike

Some things that are not required, but you will learn on the job:

• Experience with Databricks or similar lakehouse/ML platform environments

• Familiarity with synthetic data generation techniques

• Domain knowledge in healthcare, rare disease, genomics, or clinical research

• Experience with MLOps tooling and building observability infrastructure from scratch

• Exposure to biopharma or insurance analytics use cases

• Action-oriented and excited to build a company from the ground up

The salary range for this role is $180,000-$230,000 annually. Actual compensation offered will depend on several factors including but not limited to: work experience, education, skill level, and/or other business and organizational needs.

What we offer at Probably Genetic:
