Description
Department: Data Science and AI
Location: London, UK
We are looking for a senior data scientist to spearhead the development, expansion, and scientific rigor of BehavioralPulse™, Surgo Health’s flagship behavioral data product driven by large-scale predictive ML. BehavioralPulse™ decodes the WHY behind patient behaviors by combining hundreds of proprietary indicators at massive scale, across all US adults.
You will lead the technical evolution of BehavioralPulse™ — refining its machine learning models, integrating new data sources, overseeing validation studies, and ensuring real-world applicability for healthcare use cases. This role demands effective execution across analytics, modeling, engineering, and validation, working closely with our R&D, Product, and Client Engagement teams.
This is a rare opportunity to have outsized impact: Surgo’s BehavioralPulse™ data is core to our mission and it powers our products like Mosaic™ and our consulting services. You’ll work in a team of driven data scientists, researchers, and behavior scientists to bring patient-centered decision making across clinical trials, medical affairs, and commercial pharma.
What you’ll achieve:
● Lead predictive machine learning development and validation efforts to enhance the BehavioralPulse™ asset and ensure scientific rigor.
● Build, optimize, and deploy hundreds of models predicting patient behaviors using Databricks and Python.
● Identify and integrate new data sources to enrich BehavioralPulse™ with novel socio-behavioral indicators, including geospatial data.
● Work cross-functionally with Product, Client Engagement, and R&D teams to deliver BehavioralPulse™ powered solutions to pharma clients.
● Promote responsible AI practices by validating model performance across key demographic groups and ensuring fairness and accuracy.
About you:
● You have at least 5 years of experience building and validating predictive machine learning models
● You are highly proficient in Python and Databricks
● You are well-versed in ML engineering practices
● You do not need to have healthcare expertise, but expertise in modeling human behavior is a plus
● You have strong opinions and are willing to voice them when it comes to building trusted data pipelines, machine learning models, and data assets.
● You enjoy working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where you can both lead strategically and build hands-on.
Location: This role is hybrid in London, UK (Mon + Thu office days)
Travel: Some travel (up to 10%) possible.
