[Hiring] Medical Innovation Associate @Atropos Health

Role Description

Atropos Health is looking for a curious, technically skilled individual who thrives at the intersection of clinical knowledge and generative AI. This role is less about checking boxes on a résumé and more about what you can build. If your GitHub, Kaggle, Hugging Face, or Substack tells a compelling story, we want to hear from you.

You will work directly with our Medical Director of Content Generation to develop and scale a pipeline capable of answering clinical and research questions across hundreds of conditions and interventions. This includes:

• Producing structured, metataged content optimized for search and retrieval.
• Sourcing and synthesizing external evidence (published studies, clinical trials, payor policies, CMS Local Coverage Determinations, and common patient/clinician questions).
• Integrating this content with Atropos's real-world evidence (RWE) platform.

You will be a core contributor to our ability to generate high-quality, scalable clinical intelligence — using LLMs and generative AI tools as force multipliers throughout the process. This role does not involve providing medical advice or clinical services.

Responsibilities

• Partner with the Medical Director of Content Generation to build and maintain a scalable pipeline for answering clinical and research questions across diverse disease areas and interventions.
• Develop and curate a library of common clinician and consumer questions spanning a wide range of clinical conditions — from common to rare.
• Convert clinical questions into structured phenotypes or ontological representations (e.g., ICD-10 codes, RxNORM, LOINC, CPT).
• Metatag produced content to enable optimized search and retrieval across the Atropos platform.
• Source and integrate external content: published studies, active clinical trials, payor policies, CMS Local Coverage Determinations, and consumer-facing clinical questions.
• Verify study outputs against published literature and participate in output QA/QC processes.
• Produce reusable, well-documented code and content that can be integrated into internal tools and surfaced to external stakeholders through product and engineering collaboration.
• Use LLMs and generative AI tools to produce a variety of outputs: code, interactive widgets, PowerPoint presentations, PDFs, and markdown documents.
• Build and consume internal and external APIs; contribute to the development of APIs for Atropos products.
• Work cross-functionally with clinical, engineering, product, and customer success teams.

Qualifications

• Daily hands-on practice with Python, R, or SQL — either natively or preferably in conjunction with generative AI tools (e.g., Claude, GPT-4, Cursor, Copilot).
• Demonstrated ability to iterate toward high-quality outputs through structured, self-directed quality checks — owning the end-to-end process.
• Working knowledge of clinical terminology standards (ICD-10, CPT, SNOMED, LOINC, RxNORM/NDC) and ability to rapidly learn the clinical nuances of how these ontologies are applied in real-world healthcare.
• Ability to produce clean, reusable code and content that others can build on.
• Strong written and oral communication skills in English.
• Ability to work within standard US business hours (any US time zone).
