Job Expired

Job Description:

At Reify Health, we are building a more creative healthcare system. We envision a world where every potential therapy, if safe and effective, is available to the patients who can benefit.

Our healthcare system relies on clinical trials to develop new, potentially life-saving treatments for patients. But clinical trials continue to be slow, unpredictable, and expensive. Reify Health’s product helps both the research leaders driving forward clinical trials and the doctors and nurses who care for the patient participants.

As we scale adoption of our product domestically and internationally, we will accelerate world-class clinical research and unlock innovation. By joining our data team, you will play a foundational role in supporting this mission by organizing Reify’s growing datastreams under a unified ontology to support the development of probabilistic inference systems and a host of other intelligent features.

Job Responsibilities:

Work with the data team to organize growing temporal/atemporal data into structured knowledge and integrate this knowledge into a customized clinical ontology relevant to Reify Health’s sites and sponsor stakeholders
Develop systems to support the maintenance and expansion of our integrated ontology including, but not limited to, a query engine, API layer, and monitoring system
Design and develop systems to support supervised and/or unsupervised knowledge discovery and classification
Integrate knowledge systems with a growing Kappa-style data architecture and existing application architecture supporting StudyTeam
Support the integration of knowledge architecture into direct/probabilistic inference engines which support intelligent recommendations and insight generation for clinical sites and sponsors
Become intimately familiar with HIPAA, GDPR, and other applicable regulatory frameworks and how they influence our architecture and development decisions
Become comfortable working across a stack which uses Clojure, Python and (Postgre)SQL
Frequently communicate your efforts to Data Team Lead and other technical/non-technical stakeholders (product and clinical teams) in clear written, verbal, or presentation form
Live our data philosophy, which focuses on ethical decision making, being aware of how biased data (and assumptions) can affect results (and people), and being laser-focused on business needs

Job Requirements:

A history of practical application in real-world systems (rather than theoretical) and the ability to make intelligent trade-offs in a business context (rather than purely technical)
Deep familiarity with existing relevant ontologies and taxonomies in the clinical and/or medical space, such as EPIC, UMLS, SNOMED, MedDRA, ICD-10, etc. so you are informed about which individually/in combination (if any) are suitable for our needs
Familiarity with modern semantic standards
Previous practical experience and/or familiarity with technologies similar to OWL, PR-OWL, SPARQL, and graph databases
Previous experience developing and growing knowledge systems and integrated ontologies in a rapidly growing startup
Expertise in graph algorithms, probabilistic inference/logic, Bayesian methods
M.S./PhD in ontology engineering, knowledge engineering, or a related field
Understanding and experience with distributed systems
Relevant published work (academic, blog posts, open-source contributions)
Previous experience with functional programming languages/philosophy (or existing Clojure chops!)
Experience in a startup environment (as a remote employee using video/chat collaboration tools, if you’d like to work remotely)
Relevant experience in a healthcare/health-tech company
