About Anomaly

Anomaly is enabling fast, accurate healthcare payments—reducing healthcare costs and complexity.

Over $300B is lost every year to avoidable denials and payment errors, impacting the affordability of healthcare. We’re partnering with the largest healthcare companies, including providers and payers, to build novel technology that reduces friction in healthcare payments. Smart Response uses AI to predict and prevent payment errors before they occur. This solution is powered by our claim prediction engine, which analyzes billions of transactions to predict claim denials and reasons with over 97% precision. Instant Pay (coming soon) will further streamline payments by enabling providers to immediately get paid at claim submission. Founded in 2020, we recently announced $17M in Series A and seed funding led by Redesign Health, RRE, and other top venture investors. Our fast-growing team brings together top engineers and healthcare experts committed to making healthcare more efficient and affordable.

• Build production-level machine learning products
  
  • Produce features in both our PySpark offline training pipeline and online serving API
  • Help the team train and test our models on billions of data points in reasonable wall clock and CPU time
  • Continuously measure model performance drift and automate the mitigation strategies
  • Maintain our tight API latency SLAs while executing dozens of predictions per HTTP request
  • Expect the unexpected and build system designed to deal with bad input and unreliable networks
  • Build well tested, reusable tools to accelerate our research and development efforts

What you'll need:

• Background
• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Prior experience as technical leader
• Ability to write idiomatic, testable and maintainable code in Python, Java or Scala
• Hacker mindset

• Nice To Have
  
  • Expertise building reliable data and ML pipelines with SQL, Spark or Airflow
