About the Role

Rhapsody is expanding its AI and data science capabilities to support experimentation, predictive modeling, system evaluation, and insight generation across our product ecosystem. As part of this work, we’re hiring a Data Scientist to contribute to high-impact initiatives ranging from ML based patient matching to forecasting, churn modeling and GenAI evaluation.

You’ll work closely with AI and engineering teammates to support model evaluation, build predictive solutions, and drive insights that improve both internal decision-making and AI system performance. This role offers the opportunity to work across a range of data science projects from improving patient-matching logic to analyzing GenAI behavior, and to help expand the role of data science across the company.

Key Responsibilities:
 

• Contribute to the development and evaluation of the patient matching system, including analysis of existing logic, feature design, model exploration, and improvements to performance and quality
• Build and evaluate predictive models for use cases such as churn, revenue forecasting, and risk scoring
• Collaborate on model evaluation pipelines for both structured ML and GenAI workflows
• Analyze AI system behavior through performance metrics, user interaction logs, and failure pattern discovery
• Analyze system behavior, uncover patterns in data, and identify opportunities where data science or ML techniques can improve existing workflows or decision logic—even when the path isn't strictly model-driven
• Develop dashboards, reports, or datasets that inform AI, product, or business teams
• Learn and apply best practices in testing, validation, and explainability for ML and AI-driven systems
  
   

Qualifications:

Required:
 

• Experience in data science, ML, or applied analytics
• Strong Python skills (e.g., pandas, NumPy, matplotlib, scikit-learn)
• Familiarity with SQL and Strong data analysis skills, with experience exploring, interpreting, and extracting insights from complex datasets
• Experience working with structured data and building basic models (classification, regression, etc.)
• Curiosity about AI/ML systems and a willingness to learn quickly through real-world application

Preferred:
 

• Exposure to evaluating or experimenting with neural networks
• Familiarity with model evaluation techniques (e.g., precision/recall, ROC, drift detection)
• Interest in or exposure to GenAI workflows (e.g., prompt evaluation, embedding inspection)
• Experience using tools like Jupyter, MLflow, Airflow, or analytics platforms

Education:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related field (or equivalent experience)

Core Competencies
 

• Analytical Thinking: Comfortable with structured data analysis and problem decomposition
• Data Exploration: Able to clean, transform, and derive insights from messy real-world data
• Model Literacy: Understands basic modeling workflows and how to evaluate results thoughtfully
• Collaboration: Works well with engineers and PMs to support cross-functional AI efforts
• Growth Mindset: Brings curiosity, humility, and energy to learning new methods and tools
