Lead Data Engineer - Los Angeles, United States - Money Fit by DRS

Description

Health care is all about conversations, with over 2B spoken conversations each year between patients and their care teams in just the United States.

However, people forget up to 80% of those conversations, leading to worse patient outcomes. And doctors are burning out writing notes in their EMRs instead of focusing on their patients.

That's where Abridge comes in — our audio-based standalone and integrated solutions record and summarize medical conversations, anywhere care happens.

Life at Abridge

At Abridge, we're driven by our mission to bring understanding and follow-through to every medical conversation.

Our culture is founded on doing things the "inverse" way in a legacy system—focusing on patients, instead of the system; focusing on outcomes, instead of billing; and focusing on the end-user experience, instead of a hospital administrator's mandate.

Abridgers are engineers, scientists, designers, and health policy experts from a diverse set of backgrounds—an experiment in alchemy that helps us transform an industry dominated by EHRs and enterprise into a consumer-driven experience, one recording at a time.

We believe in strong ideas, loosely held, and place a high premium on a growth mindset. We push each other to grow and expose each other to the latest in our respective fields.

Whether it's holding a PhD-level deep dive into understanding fairness and underlying bias in machine learning models, debating the merits of a Scandinavian design philosophy in our UI/UX, or writing responses for Medicare rules to influence U.S.

health policy, we prioritize sharing our findings across the team and helping each other be successful.
Diversity & Inclusion

Abridge is an equal opportunity employer. Diversity and inclusion is at the core of what we do. We actively welcome applicants from all backgrounds (including but not limited to race, gender, educational background, and sexual orientation).
