DATA SCIENTIST - Python/EMS & Healthcare Domain

Role

Extend the Python processing pipeline that enriches EMS patient care records before they reach search and dashboards. Work under the client’s technical lead on a backlog defined sprint by sprint.

Responsibilities

• Build new enrichments (syndromes, performance measures and similar derived fields) in the existing framework, to given definitions, with tests.
• Help build probabilistic linking of multiple EMS records to one incident and one patient, using time, location and record attributes; harden the existing patient-token logic.
• Work within the existing Python processors, message-queue pipeline and MongoDB record store; keep new processing consistent with how records are versioned and re-processed.
• Validate results on obfuscated data in staging; trace and explain differences against the current path.

Required skills

• Python, 6+ years, building data processing in an existing codebase.
• Applied data science: entity resolution / probabilistic matching, classification from text, feature derivation from structured records.
• MongoDB working knowledge; understanding of how a search index (Solr or similar) consumes processed records.
• Linux familiarity sufficient to run and debug a pipeline.
• Comfortable taking technical direction from a client lead and working from a lightly defined backlog.

Preferred

• EMS, healthcare or public-health data (NEMSIS, ICD, RxNorm, syndromic surveillance).
• NLP on clinical or incident narratives; geospatial data and geocoding.
• Exposure to Azure Data Lake, Databricks or Fabric.
