Senior ML Data Ops Engineer (Hybrid)

Homeward is rearchitecting the delivery of health and care in partnership with communities everywhere, starting in rural America. 60?million Americans living in rural communities are facing a crisis of access to care. Rural Americans experience poorer clinical outcomes, a trend that is escalating as hospitals close and physician shortages increase. In fact, mortality rates are 23?% higher in rural areas, partly because of limited access to quality care. Our vision is care that enables everyone to achieve their best health. We are creating a purpose-built distribution model that addresses long-standing barriers to access and quality. Homeward supports Medicare-eligible beneficiaries by partnering with plans, providers and communities, taking full financial accountability for clinical outcomes and total costs across rural counties. As a public benefit corporation and Certified B Corp, our mission and business model align with the economic, demographic and health challenges that keep rural Americans from staying healthy. Homeward's Navigation platform uses advanced analytics to connect members to the right care and local resources, tackling social determinants of health and improving holistic outcomes. Because many rural communities lack adequate clinical capacity, we also employ care teams that supplement local practices and reach people who otherwise cannot access care. The Opportunity Join us in transforming healthcare for rural America. This role sits at the intersection of machine learning, infrastructure and data, owning the end-to-end systems from data infrastructure, ingestion, analytics, ML models and production services.
