## About the role

We are building Protege to solve the biggest unmet need in AI — getting access to the right training data. The process today is time intensive, incredibly expensive, and often ends in failure. The Protege platform facilitates the secure, efficient, and privacy-centric exchange of AI training data.

## What they're looking for

- • Advanced degree (PhD or Master's plus 2+ years industry experience) in machine learning, computer science, biomedical informatics, epidemiology, statistics, or a related quantitative field — or equivalent applied experience
- • Hands-on experience building and evaluating ML or LLM-based systems for extraction, classification, or prediction on real-world data
- • Experience working with healthcare data: claims, EMR/EHR, clinical notes, imaging, registries, or similar. You understand why real-world clinical data is messy and what that means for model training
- • Strong Python and SQL, with the ability to work independently against large datasets
- • Experience designing evaluations — measuring data quality and dataset representativeness
- • Demonstrated ability to work directly with technical stakeholders and translate ambiguous goals into concrete, defensible research plans
