Job/Role Description: 

Jaan Health is building AI-powered infrastructure to transform healthcare from reactive treatment to proactive care. Our platform, Phamily, helps providers manage chronic conditions at scale—improving patient outcomes while reducing costs.

We are looking for a Machine Learning Intern to work at the intersection of applied research and production systems, helping us advance cutting-edge AI in real-world healthcare environments. This role provides hands-on experience building, evaluating, and improving machine learning systems that directly impact patient outcomes and operational efficiency.

Key Responsibilities: 

• Design and prototype novel ML approaches, especially in NLP, LLMs, and transformer architectures for healthcare use cases.
• Conduct applied research through experimentation, evaluation, and model iteration.
• Develop prompting strategies, fine-tuning techniques, and retrieval workflows.
• Translate research findings into scalable production-oriented systems.
• Build evaluation frameworks connecting model performance to healthcare outcomes.
• Collaborate with engineering and product teams to deploy AI-powered features.
• Work with large, real-world healthcare datasets and derive actionable insights.
• Document methodologies, findings, and technical recommendations.

Requirements: 

• MS or PhD candidate in Machine Learning, Computer Science, or related field
• Strong background in deep learning, NLP, and/or LLMs
• Hands-on experience with PyTorch / TensorFlow / Hugging Face
• Proven ability to run experiments and derive insights from data
• Solid Python skills and comfort working with real-world, messy datasets
• Interest in bridging research → production impact

Preferred Requirements:

• Experience with conversational AI
• Experience with LLM evaluation, fine-tuning, or retrieval systems
• Exposure to healthcare data or applied ML in regulated domains

Work Style: 

We are a fast-growing, early-stage company with a bold mission and significant work ahead; every employee at Jaan Health must embody growth company DNA. This means you have proven success in a high-performing environment: high velocity, strong ownership, comfort with ambiguity, resilience, and a true growth mindset.

You are both a playbook builder and executor, able to design scalable approaches for today while anticipating what the business will need tomorrow, and then follow through to deliver results.

Our culture is built on five principles that shape how we work, lead, and grow:

• Care: We put patients, clients, teammates, and outcomes first.
• Curiosity: We ask better questions, challenge assumptions, and keep learning.
• Clarity: We simplify complexity, communicate directly, and create alignment.
• Co-Creation: We collaborate across teams, perspectives, and disciplines.
• Craftsmanship: We execute with excellence, ownership, and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Gain 

Through this internship, you will gain:

• Work on high-impact, real-world AI problems in healthcare
• Own projects that go from research ideas → deployed systems
• Collaborate with a fast-moving, product-driven ML team
• Real-world experience in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
• Exposure to executive leaders and cross-functional teams
• Mentorship and professional development support
• Experience solving real business challenges
• Stronger communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills
• Opportunity to build confidence, ownership, and business acumen
• A collaborative, mission-driven team helping transform healthcare at scale

If you take pride in delivering results, embrace challenges, and proactively seek improvement, then this is the place for you. You’ll join a smart, humble, and collaborative team dedicated to improving healthcare.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
