Karoo Health is a venture-backed startup transforming cardiovascular care through a platform that empowers large provider groups and health systems to succeed in value-based care contracts. The company focuses on improving patient outcomes and reducing cost of care through better coordination, analytics, and disease management.
As a Data Scientist, you will bridge complex healthcare data and actionable clinical and business insights. You'll lead the development of predictive models and advanced analytics that drive the value-based care mission, working closely with Data Engineering, Product, and Clinical teams to build the analytical "brain" of the Karoo platform.
Key responsibilities include:
• Predictive Modeling & Risk Stratification: Develop and deploy machine learning models to identify high-risk, high-cost members before they require expensive acute services such as ER visits or inpatient stays.
• Clinical Intelligence: Conduct research on claims and EHR data to identify opportunities for new clinical interventions that reduce the risk of adverse events.
• Value-Based Care Analytics: Lead analysis of total cost of care (TCoC), utilization, and patient attribution to measure performance against baseline contracts.
• Data Quality & Validation: Implement rigorous validation techniques to ensure data integrity and model reliability.
You are a curious problem solver who thrives in the "build" phase of a startup. You are equally comfortable writing production-grade code as you are explaining complex model outputs to clinical or business stakeholders. This is a rare opportunity to join a mission-driven founding team at a pivotal stage and help define the future of healthcare technology, with the power to improve the lives of patients with cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in America.
