Los Angeles, United States Wellth Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

About Wellth:

Wellth is a fast-growing digital health startup headquartered in Los Angeles that recently raised a Series B from leading investors including SignalFire. Our mission is to provide daily care motivation to people living with chronic conditions so they can make healthier choices, every single day.

We don't assume that just providing a tool or a beautiful app will actually get results. We use behavioral economics, habit science, and technology to motivate and sustain behavior change in some of the highest need and most underserved populations in the US (think Medicaid and Medicare), drastically changing their quality of life and health outcomes. We have demonstrated results with several large insurers and health systems (e.g. reducing hospitalizations by over 40%), and are scaling the company and team. Our goal is to be the category leader in improving health outcomes for hard to engage populations, a $50B+ annual opportunity in healthcare.

Our work quite literally saves lives every day. We've engaged 65,000+ members, prevented 15k+ hospital days and saved 500+ lives. We are a mission-driven company where you work with incredible talent and see tangible differences directly from your impact and influence.

About the Role:

As an Applied Scientist, you will work autonomously to build out new solutions to complex business problems with generative AI (text, voice, maybe video someday), machine learning, and workflow automation. Your end-to-end work will immediately impact our ability to enroll and motivate our members at a massive scale. You'll use your keen research skills to identify the highest value opportunities to apply modern technologies like generative AI and explore the tools that are available for implementation (build and/or buy). You'll build the prototype to prove the use case, develop guardrails and testing methodology, deploy it to small user groups for learning and iteration, and once you're confident that your technology is ready for prime-time, you'll work with our existing product engineering squads and member operations teams to roll it out to full scale.

You are curious, you are driven, and you are relentlessly focused and supported by our team on one core problem: how do we scale Wellth's life-changing health rewards program to 5x the number of members with our same human staff while maintaining and even improving outcomes?

A year or two from now, if you so choose, you can be speaking at conferences about how you saved hundreds of lives and positively affected hundreds of thousands by implementing best-in-class generative AI and predictive analytics capabilities into our closed-loop behavior change platform.

Specifically, you will:

  • Research our current member operations and product processes and statistics to quantify the value of various opportunities for using generative AI and predictive analytics to optimize our unit economics and improve retained member care plan adherence.
  • Explore existing technologies (raw build, developer platform, low-code, off-the-shelf, etc) to identify the best options that balance impact with economics and speed.
  • Build prototypes that demonstrate that available technologies can solve for our goals
  • Launch experiments with small populations to confirm safety and efficacy.
  • Work with our product, engineering, and member operations teams to deploy generative AI solutions to hundreds of thousands of daily users.
  • Monitor and optimize the impact of your deployments against outcomes goals and unit economics targets.
  • Ideate with our product team to innovate new GenAI features and experiences for our members.

You will work with:

  • Our CTO to quantify and prioritize the highest-leverage opportunities for GenAI and shape our overall AI strategy.
  • Our Engineering team to go from prototype to fully-deployed solutions.
  • Our Product team to ideate and design new member experiences made possible by GenAI.
  • Our Member Operations team to understand current workflows and come up with ways to give our human member acquisition and support agents the tools to handle 5x the members they do now.
  • Senior Leadership to communicate your findings and advocate for investments in emerging AI technologies.
  • External vendors and partners where necessary to evaluate and incorporate third-party solutions.

We're looking for someone who has:

  • A BS in Computer Science/Engineering or greater; Masters or PhD preferred.
  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience (ideally Python & TypeScript).
  • 1+ years building with generative AI on a daily basis.
  • Knowledge of the GenAI vendor space, including foundation models, developer platforms, open-source models, and off-the-shelf GenAI tools from SaaS platforms.
  • A creative and curious mind, hungry to find opportunities to do things better.
  • Experience researching current user experiences in order to create new ones.

You might be the candidate we're looking for if you can:

  • Work independently, with a self-starter mindset and a bias for action.
  • Think creatively and navigate ambiguous problems with a structured, results-oriented approach.
  • Clearly communicate complex technical ideas to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Balance the need for technical rigor with practical, business-focused solutions.
  • Thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where experimentation and iteration are the norm.

In addition to the above, our ideal candidate has:

  • A master's or Ph.D. in computer science, machine learning, data science, or a related field (or equivalent industry experience).
  • Hands-on experience building GenAI telephone or other voice conversation systems; big bonus points for real-world deployment of speech-to-speech models.
  • Experience with HIPAA compliance and healthcare data.
  • Experience with Salesforce, Talkdesk, and Twilio.
  • An enthusiasm for staying ahead of the curve on advancements in AI and sharing your knowledge with others.
You will enjoy working with us at Wellth.

The benefits of working with us include:

  • Flexible working arrangements, supporting strong remote-first practices and tools with the option to work in our excellent gathering space in Marina Del Rey.
  • Robust paid time off and generous parental leave program.
  • Competitive salary & commission structure.
  • Health, dental, vision insurance, and FSA/HSA plans.
  • Ability to have a positive impact on people who need it most.
  • Support of a highly dedicated team focused on building the future of healthcare.

Base Compensation: $150,000 - $200,000

Wellth is an equal opportunity employer. We value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, citizenship, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability, genetic information, or other protected characteristics.
