Clinician Scientist

About Anterior

Anterior is on a mission to transform healthcare administration, making it seamless and invisible so clinicians can focus on delivering care. We’ve built an AI-powered platform designed by clinicians, for clinicians, to simplify administrative workflows and improve patient outcomes. By combining clinical expertise with cutting-edge technology, we’re revolutionizing healthcare operations with responsible AI.

We're growing rapidly and are backed by world-class investors including Sequoia, New Enterprise Associates (NEA), and Neo along with notable angels including the founders of DeepMind, Google AI, and Inflection AI. You can learn more about us here.

Our Team

One of the core components of Anterior's value proposition is sound clinical reasoning.

While our product teams have the deep user empathy required to build great products for their users (many of our engineers are MDs!), not all of our technical staff can have the deep clinical and medical expertise of our clinical end users and customers.

Anterior's Clinician Scientists are therefore of paramount importance in building best-in-class products for clinicians. They bridge the domain expertise gaps for our engineering and product organizations, being in-house advocates for the clinical users of our product and helping to transform the medical complexity of the problems we and our customers face into technical and product challenges for our technical staff to tackle—and vice versa.

About the Role

Responsibilities will include (but may not necessarily be limited to):

• You'll conduct detailed clinical assessments of AI outputs across all parts of the product lifecycle, playing a core role in building trust with customers

• You'll provide Product and AI Engineering teams with actionable insights derived from your clinical assessments in the appropriate formats

• You'll own the aggregation, synthesis, triage, and follow-up of AI pipeline 'flaws' at scale (e.g., clinical quality issues, algorithmic biases)

• You'll devise measurement and evaluation methods (which may change based on maturity of output e.g., production data vs. early POC)

• You'll help derive novel user insights to shape product direction, requirements, and success criteria together with the Product, Design and Engineering leaders

• You'll drive continuous process improvement and optimization, pitching for engineering resources as necessary

• You'll act as the critical translation layer between technical, non-technical, clinical, and non-clinical teams: expertly converting problems between domains into the appropriate language and formats to be executable and actionable by the appropriate teams

For candidates who are technically literate/capable (and if not yet, you may have opportunities to learn on the job!):

• You'll work directly in the codebase to help improve AI pipeline performance (mostly through prompt changes or small code iterations)

• You'll have the opportunity to propose technical changes (including proofs of concept and low-fi demos) to improve pipeline performance to the AI team

About You

• You're based in New York and excited to work in a "default in-person" environment

• You're a recent graduate of medical school or have up to 8 years of hospital/clinic experience

• You may be looking to make a career pivot away from practicing medicine but realized you want to still work in healthcare in the world of startups

• You're keen to become more technical

• You thrive in fast-paced, high-performance environments, and enjoy quickly converting ambiguity into structure and action

• You have Olympic drive, crave "full-company" ownership and entrepreneurship

• You have excellent verbal, written, and visual communication skills

• Nice to have: Possesses some technical literacy (i.e., perhaps you've dabbled with coding/programming)

What's in it for You

This is an opportunity to join the formative stages of a company that is working with cutting-edge technology to have a meaningful impact in healthcare. We’re at an exciting inflection point, and you’ll be working with a world-class team and given the opportunity to learn and grow rapidly.
