## About the role

We are seeking an exceptional Staff Applied Scientist 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

- 6+ years of industry experience as an Applied Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, Research Scientist, or equivalent, or 4+ years of industry experience with a relevant advanced degree, PhDs preferred
- 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
- Recognized technical authority, with the judgment to ensure the techniques used across an organization are sound
- Strong interest in mentoring or technically leading other Scientists — formal management experience is welcome, but not required
- Strong judgment in choosing between statistical models, heuristics, optimization approaches, and simpler algorithmic methods depending on the problem
