\nJoin us to Improve Health Equity for 5 Million People!\n\n\nCareMessage is the Health Equity engine of the United States. Our mission is to leverage technology to improve health equity for people from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with a core focus on the safety-net organizations that serve them best: federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), free and charitable clinics, Indian Health Service (IHS) health facilities and Native American-focused health centers. The CareMessage platform allows healthcare organizations to communicate with patients at scale, prompting patients to action via technology-enabled solutions designed to increase access to care, improve clinical outcomes and address social drivers of health.\n\n\nNationally, CareMessage is proud to work with over 400 customers in 43 states. Since 2013, safety-net organizations have leveraged CareMessage to reach over 17 million low-income patients with over 350 million text messages.\n\n\nFounded in 2012 at Stanford University, CareMessage has raised over $35 million from Google.org, William K. Bowes Jr. Foundation, Pershing Square Foundation, Y Combinator, Schmidt Futures, Twilio.org, Direct Relief, Biogen, and many more.\n\n\nCareMessage is seeking a talented and experienced Healthcare Data Scientist, mid-career (L2) or Senior (L3) to join our dynamic team.

This is an opportunity to be at the forefront of spurring insight and innovation through the use of data to drive strategic decision-making throughout CareMessage. The goal of this team is to enable us to tell the “data story” of a patient's interactions with CareMessage and help us interpret insights that will allow us to make measurable and scalable improvements in access to care, clinical outcomes, and social determinants of health for the populations we support.\n\n\nYou will work closely with a multidisciplinary agile team to identify questions, design experiments, clean data, build and test models, interpret results, visualize, and present data for high-end analytics solutions. These solutions will generate insights from the organization’s connected data and enable data-driven decision-making capabilities and actions.\n\n\nThis is an exceptional opportunity for someone with a passion for data science and a desire to make a significant social impact.\n\n\nIf you share our mission-driven commitment and take pride in contributing to our goal of advancing health equity for individuals of low socio-economic status nationwide, we would love to hear from you.\n\n\nNote: Due to the nature of this role we are only accepting US-based candidates.  At this time, we are not able to sponsor work visas.
