We are looking to hire a skilled Clojure/ClojureScript developer to help build a new platform for medical knowledge. By applying Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing to medical literature, we aim to give experts the insights they need to make informed decisions.
The project is part of Doctor Evidence, a company based in Santa Monica, CA. At this moment a small team is working remotely (GMT+2, EU timezone) on this project as a full-time Research & Development effort.
You will work in a small team that will architect and build the next-generation of data science tools for Evidence Based Medicine and Health Technology Assessment. A good fit would be someone who can work quickly while still following best practices, who thrives on new technology, and has an avid interest in medical informatics and machine learning.
What we offer
- Flexible work hours from the comfort of your home
- Interesting problems with many opportunities for personal input
- Industry standard compensation
Skills & Requirements
- You have experience in developing and maintaining web-based (Clojure, ClojureScript) applications
- Willing and able to work remotely. We have a distributed team with members across the globe. Western European (GMT) timezone is preferred
- Able to work autonomously, and be self-motivating. You will be working on early stage projects where feedback and iteration are crucial
- MSc or PhD in computer science, mathematics, artificial intelligence, life sciences, or related
- You have strong communication skills and willingness to ask questions. We do not write implementation specs for you; you'll be given a business problem to solve, and are expected to understand and explore the space of design alternatives and collaborate on a solution. Questions will occur and it is important that you'll be comfortable asking them and chasing down answers
- Familiarity with modern development workflows and release cycles, using Agile-like methodologies
Bonus
- Familiarity with Evidence Based Medicine, Systematic Review Methodology or Health Technology Assessment
- Affinity with the medical domain (UMLS ontologies, MEDLINE/PubMed data sets, ClinicalTrials.gov)
- Familiarity with semantic web technologies like SPARQL, RDF, and Linked Data
- Aside from Clojure some analytics components are developed in Java and Python, being able to grok what's going on there is a big plus
Our Technology
- Clojure back-end
- ClojureScript front-end with Reagent/re-frame
- PostgreSQL
- Jena/Fuseki RDF triple store
- RabbitMQ
- Python (scikit-learn, keras/tensorflow, numpy/scipy) for machine learning
- Bare-metal Ubuntu servers with Docker for deployment
