ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES include the following:

• Design, fine-tune, and optimize large language models (LLMs) and multimodal models for healthcare-specific NLP tasks, such as information extraction, classification, and summarization from clinical documents (e.g., medical charts, patient files, scanned forms).
• Develop and improve document understanding pipelines, including fine-tuning OCR / layout-aware models (especially in cloud environments like Azure AI, Azure Foundry) to handle real-world variability in medical forms, handwriting, and scanned PDFs.
• Build and iterate on end-to-end ML solutions that transform unstructured healthcare data into structured, actionable insights
• Collaborate closely with clinicians, product managers, data annotators, and engineers to define problems, curate/annotate datasets, evaluate model performance against clinical and business metrics, and iterate quickly.
• Deploy models into production environments (cloud-based inference, batch processing, or API endpoints) with attention to latency, cost, scalability, and healthcare compliance considerations (HIPAA, data privacy).
• Stay current with advancements in LLMs, vision-language models, efficient fine-tuning techniques (LoRA/QLoRA, PEFT), RAG, multimodal AI, and domain-specific healthcare AI research.
• Contribute to a culture of rapid prototyping, rigorous evaluation, and continuous improvement in a dynamic project landscape where priorities can shift based on new opportunities or stakeholder needs.
• Other duties as assigned

• Experience working with labeled datasets and annotation outputs, including reviewing label quality
• Understanding of common ML problem types, including binary and multi-label classification
• Awareness of model bias, label noise, and false positives, with the ability to discuss tradeoffs and mitigation strategies
• Basic understanding of production ML workflows (versioning, reproducibility, monitoring concepts)

OTHER SKILLS and ABILITIES:

• Hands-on fine-tuning experience with LLMs (e.g., Hugging Face, OpenAI fine-tuning, Azure Foundry), even if limited to small-scale or academic projects
