Data Scientist II
$160k - $185k USD
Garner’s mission is to transform the healthcare economy, delivering high-quality and affordable care for all.
We are fundamentally reimagining how healthcare works in the U.S. by partnering with employers to redesign healthcare benefits using clear incentives and powerful, data-driven insights. Our approach guides employees to higher-quality, lower-cost care, creating a system that works better for everyone. Patients achieve better health outcomes, employers spend healthcare dollars more effectively, and physicians are rewarded for delivering exceptional care rather than performing more procedures.
Garner is one of the fastest-growing healthcare technology companies in the country. Our products are trusted by the most sophisticated employers and providers in the industry, and we are building a team of talented, mission-driven individuals who are motivated to make a meaningful impact on healthcare at scale.

- Drive the evolution and construction of tools we use to write, assess, and combine rules measuring provider behaviors
- Build and maintain data-driven algorithms, including AI and machine learning models, to improve our provider recommendations estimates.
- Design scalable data pipelines that ingest, clean, and enrich healthcare provider data.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, research, and operations teams to translate business needs into data-driven solutions.
The ideal candidate has:
- 2-5 years professional experience in data science, product analytics, and/or healthcare
- A demonstrated ability to independently solve difficult problems and deliver high quality results to senior stakeholders
- Strong Python and SQL skills
- A willingness to “roll up your sleeves” and do whatever is necessary to ensure company success
- Experience working in a rapidly evolving startup environment
- A desire to be a part of our mission to improve the U.S. healthcare system
