Coding Assessment

We are looking for a mid-level Data Scientist with strong experience in LLMs, agentic AI workflows, and large-scale data analysis to join a high-impact initiative in the healthcare domain.

This role will focus on building an AI-powered Utilization Management (UM) Criteria Analyzer, enabling stakeholders to evaluate the financial and clinical impact of changing medication utilization strategies.

You will work on cutting-edge applications of LLMs, including extracting insights from unstructured clinical data and designing explainable AI systems.

Project Overview

The team is building a decision intelligence platform that:

Compares different Utilization Management (UM) strategies
Quantifies impact of switching from one UM policy to another
Improves forecasting accuracy for underwriting teams
Supports rebate optimization and financial modeling
Enables scenario simulation and “what-if” analysis
Lays foundation for a client recommendation system
Key capabilities:

UM-to-UM comparison engine
Scenario testing & simulation
AI-driven insights from unstructured clinical notes (CDR data)
Future: natural language interface for business users
