Would you like to lead a Product Machine Learning team charged with developing scalable models and actionable insights within our game changing computational platform used to deliver genomic, radiomic, and clinical data analysis to over 1000 healthcare institutions and over 500,000 cancer and rare genetic disease patients worldwide? Join our growing distributed team and use your exceptional technical and leadership skills to help us deliver on our mission of democratizing Data-Driven Medicine.

In order to augment our leadership team we are looking for a Product ML Engineering Manager to join our team in the US, working from home office, with occasional face-to-face meetings as needed.

As a Product ML Manager, you will report directly to the Vice President of Engineering and will lead our product machine learning efforts in a number of key areas of our platform.

Your principal responsibility will be to build and lead an all-star Product ML team, consisting of ML Engineers and Analysts focusing on building practical models and generating product insights within SOPHiA DDM, our flagship software product, used to perform large-scale multi-modal analysis of patient data and deliver data-driven insights to hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide.

Our platform is a one-of-a-kind globally distributed information system that brings together hospitals and labs to provide data ingestion and processing, analysis and modeling, reporting and intelligence, distribution and sharing of a multitude of complex sources of structured and unstructured data, including genomics, imaging, and clinical data, delivered as a multi-tenant SaaS platform on the cloud.

As part of your team’s mission you will develop systems for comprehensively collecting, and analysing a wide variety of product usage data and will develop key metrics to help our product organization turn these into actionable insights. You will develop automated systems for anomaly detection and response. You will develop models and machine learning algorithms to help us make better use of our primary data sets, including genomic, imaging, and clinical data, and help us develop innovative ways to integrate and process this data with higher quality, lower turnaround time, and at a lower cost.

Some travel between various SOPHiA offices and customer sites may be required (up to 10%).
