Role summary
Prescience is seeking high agency, high slope individuals for a Member of Technical Staff role. The company is building a vertically-integrated healthcare system powered by a medical superintelligence, aiming to disrupt the healthcare industry. The role involves work in Machine Learning Research (pretraining foundation models), Applied ML (agents, infrastructure, context management, tool use), and Software Engineering (Search, Retrieval, Vector Systems, Data Infrastructure, Evals, Backend Systems, Workflow Architecture, Cloud Platform, Reliability). The team has deep AI research experience and aims to apply frontier AI to solve critical healthcare problems.
**About Prescience**
In a world with AGI, there are only three important problems: healthcare, entertainment, and compute. Healthcare remains the underresourced opportunity that is bound for a massive rewiring and disruption. It is also the most noble problem to work on. At Prescience, we are building the last healthcare company: a vertically-integrated healthcare system run by a medical superintelligence.
**The Team**
Our team has been conducting AI research since 2014 - from CNNs to RNNs to transformers. Is embedding LLMs into prior authorization software the best use of soon-to-be general intelligence on a cluster in Abilene? We do not believe so. We sit at the intersection of all three things this moment requires: the technical depth to build frontier AI, the clinical fluency to understand how healthcare actually works and to enter the room, and the ambition to own and direct $6T of healthcare spending to ensure Americans don't die.
**The Role**
We are looking for high agency, high slope individuals. If you are interested in one or more of the following, please apply:
* _Machine Learning Research: pretraining new foundation models on interesting data to make new predictions about the world_
* _Applied ML: computer & browser use agents, infrastructure and automation,_ context management, tool use
* _Software Engineering: Search, Retrieval, Vector Systems & Data Infrastructure; Evals; Backend Systems & Workflow Architecture; Infrastructure, Cloud Platform & Reliability_
Compensation will include a generous cash base plus equity. Best health insurance; Uber vouchers; DoorDash; Equinox membership.
