Associate Applied Scientist

Join Garner as an Associate Applied Scientist, where you'll tackle complex healthcare problems and make a real impact. You'll own production systems end-to-end, from problem framing to launch and iteration. This role requires a strong command of various methods, applied problem-solving skills, and the ability to communicate effectively with senior stakeholders. Enjoy flexible PTO, hybrid and remote work options, and a variety of social programs beyond work hours.

• End-to-end ownership of production systems, from problem framing to launch and iteration.
• Framing messy, real-world healthcare and business constraints into clear objectives, tradeoffs, and decision frameworks.
• Choosing the right approach for each problem, from machine learning to optimization to heuristics to simple rules, based on what the problem actually calls for.

• This is a role for someone who wants to work on a hard problem, deliver real impact and be pushed to be the best version of themselves
• A desire to do work that matters: and to be held to a high standard while doing it. You're energized by a mission with measurable outcomes, not just good intentions. You engage with AI tools as part of how you do your best work, and hold yourself accountable to outcomes that matter beyond your team’s metrics
• A solid command of the methods your work calls for and the data your models depend on
• Strong judgment in choosing between statistical models, heuristics, optimization approaches, and simpler algorithmic methods depending on the problem
• A bias toward action, quickly translating ideas into working prototypes to test approaches
• Strong applied problem-solving skills, with the ability to define good metrics and then deliver solutions that improve them
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to present your work clearly to senior stakeholders
• A Bachelor's or Master's degree (in progress) in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, or a related STEM field, with an expected graduation date of Fall 2026 or Spring 2027
• Few roles offer this combination: work that is genuinely hard, a mission that is genuinely important, and a team that is genuinely invested in your success. If that’s what you’re looking for, we’d love to meet you
