About the Role

As Lead Data Scientist, you'll provide technical leadership across high-impact AI initiatives, taking problems from raw physiological signals through to clinically validated, production-ready models. You'll work closely with Engineering, Product, Medical Affairs, and Regulatory teams to deliver AI solutions that are scientifically rigorous, clinically meaningful, and globally scalable. You'll also play a key role in mentoring fellow data scientists and elevating the team's technical standards.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the end-to-end design, development, validation, and deployment of machine learning models using physiological and digital health data.
  • Translate clinical and product challenges into robust machine learning solutions with appropriate labels, metrics, and validation approaches.
  • Apply digital signal processing and modern machine learning techniques to wearable and medical device data.
  • Establish modelling standards and provide technical leadership on time-series and biomedical signal problems.
  • Develop rigorous evaluation frameworks that account for clinical ground truth, class imbalance, and patient-level generalisation.
  • Partner with Data Engineering and Platform teams to productionise models and build scalable pipelines.
  • Collaborate with Medical Affairs, Clinical, Regulatory, and Quality teams within a regulated healthcare environment.
  • Mentor data scientists through technical reviews, coaching, and best practice sharing.
  • Communicate complex scientific concepts clearly and influence decisions through evidence-based reasoning.

Requirements

  • Master's degree or PhD in Data Science, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related quantitative field.
  • Significant industry experience applying machine learning to real-world problems and leading projects end-to-end.
  • Deep expertise across machine learning approaches, including classical methods, ensemble models, and deep learning techniques.
  • Strong experience working with time-series data and signal processing techniques.
  • Solid foundation in statistics, experimental design, and model validation.
  • Advanced Python and SQL skills, with experience developing production-quality code.
  • Experience working with cloud and data platforms such as AWS and Snowflake.
  • Proven ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and lead technical direction.
  • Experience working with physiological or wearable signals such as PSG, EEG, ECG, PPG, respiratory flow/pressure, or SpO2.
  • Background in healthcare, medical devices, or regulated environments.
  • Familiarity with Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) and AI/ML lifecycle management.
  • Experience partnering with clinical and medical stakeholders.
  • Scientific curiosity - Enjoy exploring complex problems and uncovering insights from challenging data.
  • Technical judgement - Balance innovation with practical decision-making and business impact.
  • Collaborative leadership - Build trusted partnerships and bring diverse teams together around a common goal.
  • Ownership mindset - Take accountability for outcomes and move confidently through ambiguity.
  • Mentorship focus - Invest in the growth of others and help raise the technical bar across the team.
  • Patient-first thinking - Remain motivated by the opportunity to improve health outcomes at scale.
