About Thalamus
Our mission is to help the right doctors practice at the right hospitals to treat the right patients. We leverage a passion for technology, medical education, equity, and data-driven research to optimize physician recruitment, starting with the medical residency recruitment process.
Our philosophy is that the opportunity to practice medicine in an ideal environment should be accessible to all, and ample medical research has shown that this results in patients getting better healthcare outcomes overall. We built a comprehensive interview management platform, backed by evidence-based research, to innovate, streamline, and optimize the residency recruitment process.
At Thalamus, the Data Team takes on the critical role of safeguarding and optimizing our data architecture, which forms the backbone of the technical organization. Our responsibilities encompass extracting and aggregating data from a wide array of internal and external sources, refining these data for quality, and making them readily accessible. We further employ advanced analytics, research, modeling, machine learning, and AI to extract valuable insights. The Data team continuously enhances and monitors data pipelines, databases, APIs, and machine learned models, collaborating closely with all other teams to promote responsible data stewardship and drive data-driven decision-making and initiatives.
With several projects lined up for the year, this role offers a unique opportunity to manage and build new data storage, pipelining, and visualization solutions from the ground up. You should possess high attention to detail, have excellent communication skills, resourceful, customer focused, team oriented, and have an ability to work independently under time constraints to meet deadlines. You will be comfortable thinking big and diving deep. A proven track record in taking on end-to-end ownership and successfully delivering results in a fast-paced, dynamic business environment is strongly preferred.
