• Ability to work effectively with minimal guidance on complex, non-routine problems
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with ability to explain technical concepts clearly
• Proven ability to facilitate conversations, listen actively, and work effectively in remote environments
• Entrepreneurial mindset: you can problem solve independently while collaborating effectively across teams
• Bachelor's degree, or equivalent experience/knowledge. We are happy to work with strong candidates with non-traditional educational backgrounds

Nice to have

• Healthcare domain experience or understanding of healthcare data and pricing models
• AI/ML experience, particularly with emerging patterns like RAG and Agentic Workflows
