NLP Scientist

Company Overview

Machinify is the leading provider of AI-powered software products that transform healthcare claims and payment operations. Each year, the healthcare industry generates over $200B in claims mispayments, creating incredible waste, friction and frustration for all participants: patients, providers, and especially payers. Machinify’s revolutionary AI-platform has enabled the company to develop and deploy, at light speed, industry-specific products that increase the speed and accuracy of claims processing by orders of magnitude.

At Machinify, we're building state-of-the-art Visual Question Answering (VQA) systems for medical records using cutting-edge techniques in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computer Vision (CV). Our mission is to achieve human-expert level accuracy in medical document analysis — a highly challenging problem where traditional approaches, like vanilla Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), fall short. While we've made significant strides, we're looking for an applied scientist to help us tackle the remaining core features and scale our models.
