About the role

We are seeking an exceptional Applied Scientist II to join our Applied Science team. Garner is hiring Applied Scientists to design and ship the algorithmic systems at the core of our product. Our members rely on us to answer hard questions — Which doctor should I see? What will it cost? When should we reach out, and how? — and the quality of those answers is determined by the algorithms behind them.

What they're looking for

  • 2+ years of industry experience as an Applied Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, Research Scientist, or equivalent advanced degree
  • A bias toward action, quickly translating ideas into working prototypes to test approaches
  • Strong applied problem-solving skills, with the ability to define good metrics and then deliver solutions that improve them
  • A solid command of the methods your work calls for and the data your models depend on
  • Strong judgment in choosing between statistical models, heuristics, optimization approaches, and simpler algorithmic methods depending on the problem
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to present your work clearly to senior stakeholders
More about this role

Garner is on a mission to transform the U.S. healthcare system — and we’re the only proven player doing exactly that. We partner with employers to redesign how healthcare works: applying 550+ proprietary clinical metrics across 80+ specialties to a dataset of 320M+ patients to identify the best-performing doctors, then using compelling incentives to steer members to the care that helps them get healthier, faster.

The result is a rare “win win” — better care and lower costs for both members and employers. In just five years, our work has helped over 2.5 million people access higher-quality care and saved $1B in healthcare costs. We recently raised our Series E and have doubled five years running. If you've ever wanted your work to solve a problem that touches every person in this country, this is the opportunity to do exactly that. You'd be joining a team fundamentally reimagining healthcare in the U.S. — and using AI to scale that impact further and faster than anyone else can.
