The Opportunity

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at LifeBell AI, you’ll be responsible for developing ML time-series models for the early detection of sepsis and other related clinical conditions. In addition, you will help to develop LifeBell’s core infrastructure for training, testing and deploying machine learning models at scale. You'll work closely with our Data Science and Engineering teams, as well as CTO and CSO. You’ll join a tight-knit group that values collaboration, continuous improvement, and solving challenging technical and product problems in an emerging space. Plus, we like to have fun along the way.

 About Us

LifeBell AI creates intelligent software that saves lives by harnessing the latest advances in machine learning, analytics, and sensor technologies across healthcare. We’re a fast-growing, fully funded, Atlanta-based technology startup, with both local and remote employees.

Join us as a machine learning engineer in our mission to reduce morbidity and mortality from sepsis, a life-threatening condition that affects over 48 million people globally each year. Partners include top governmental, healthcare, and academic institutions.
