This role focuses on contributing to the end-to-end machine learning development lifecycle, including data preparation, model building, deployment, and monitoring for revenue cycle applications. Key tasks involve building and optimizing Gradient Boosting Trees models and implementing Large Language Model operations using OpenAI APIs.
Associate II, Analytics – Job Description
Ensemble
Overview
Ensemble is a leader in revenue cycle management innovation, leveraging advanced analytics and machine learning to deliver high-impact solutions.
The Associate II, Analytics role is focused on end-to-end machine learning (ML) development to optimize processes in healthcare revenue cycle management (RCM) operations. Candidates must have over 3 years of relevant experience to support data-driven decision-making in a dynamic environment. Please note, this is primarily an ML Engineer role, not a Data Scientist, or MLOps Role.
Job Responsibilities
Contribute towards end-to-end ML development lifecycle, including data preparation, model building, deployment, and monitoring for revenue cycle applications.
Build and optimize Gradient Boosting Trees models using LightGBM, and develop scikit-learn pipelines for predictive analytics.
Implement Large Language Model (LLM) operations with OpenAI APIs, including summarization, prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and integration into operational workflows.
Apply Explainable AI (XAI) techniques using libraries like SHAP and LIME to interpret model decisions and ensure transparency in high-stakes healthcare scenarios.
Analyze complex datasets to identify patterns, develop deployable solutions, and collaborate on production-grade ML systems.
Required Skills
Proficiency in Python and SQL for high-quality, production-ready code, with a public GitHub repository showcasing ML projects.
MUST have actively programmed in python for 3 years
SHOULD know SQL
Expertise in ML libraries: scikit-learn, PySpark ML.
Expertise in data manipulation libraries: pandas, Dask, Polars, PySpark.
Expertise in data validation tools: Pydantic, Pandera.
The right candidate should be able to pick up new technologies rapidly and contribute towards key initiatives.
Hands-on experience with XAI libraries including but not limited to LIME, SHAP, BLEU, ROUGE etc.
Strong knowledge of LLMs (OpenAI), including prompt engineering, tuning, and summarization tasks.
Experience in healthcare or revenue cycle management is a plus.
Preferable Skills
Exposure to healthcare analytics or revenue cycle management is advantageous but not mandatory. Such experience enhances the ability to apply ML solutions directly to domain-specific challenges in Ensemble’s operations. Candidates with this background can accelerate impact in revenue cycle optimization.
Knowledge of Spark and experience in Databricks is a plus
Qualifications
Undergraduate degree (B.E./B.Tech) in Engineering or Technology, or a graduate degree (M.Sc./M.S.) in Science, Mathematics, or Statistics (STEM).
A first class, distinction, or top 10 percentile performance throughout the academic career is mandatory.
Relevant experience exceeding 3 years is a key requirement alongside these academic credentials. People with a data/analytics background before the 3 years in ML Engineering with be preferred.
