Data Scientist, Generative AI & LLM Agents

Who We Are

Verily is a subsidiary of Alphabet that is using a data-driven approach to change the way people manage their health and the way healthcare is delivered. Launched from Google X in 2015, our purpose is to bring the promise of precision health to everyone, every day. We are focused on generating and activating data from a variety of sources, including clinical, social, behavioral and the real world, to arrive at the best solutions for a person based on a comprehensive view of the evidence. Our unique expertise and capabilities in technology, data science and healthcare enable the entire healthcare ecosystem to drive better health outcomes.

Description

As a Data Scientist at Verily, you will be supporting our core mission to drive innovation in evidence generation for research and care decisions. We are building new types of longitudinal datasets that have foundations of RWD sources, such as EHRs (electronic health records) and claims data, and are augmented with prospective data collection. You will develop and deploy models that enable scalable curation of RWD. This will include multi-source integrations and reconciliations, creating derived features from the source data (e.g., abstraction of clinical concepts from unstructured data), and facilitating data quality assessments. You will work with a diverse cross-functional team to build reusable and scalable tools and to deliver products that unlock information from structured and unstructured clinical data.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to conceptualize, develop, and implement AI solutions tailored to diverse healthcare applications.
• Architect and implement foundational models and large language model (LLM) based agents to achieve optimal performance and efficiency.
• Conduct cutting-edge research and stay informed on emerging advancements in LLMs, medical foundational models, and AI agents.
• Effectively communicate complex technical methodologies and results through clear, well-structured reports and presentations for both technical and non-technical audiences.
