We’re looking for motivated data professionals to drive efficiency and growth in Caremark's PBM business, using advanced analytics, predictive modeling, statistics, and generative AI.

This is a hands-on data scientist role, with a combination of business / stakeholder consulting and data analysis/science. You will work with a squad of 10+ data scientists and engineers to manage the whole lifecycle from ideation to deployment and monitoring.
- Partner closely with clinical and operational experts to unpack complex operational processes, identify bottlenecks, and translate requirements into technical solutions.
- Design, build, and validate data science solutions—ranging from Generative AI pipelines and predictive models to rules-based logic.
- Manage end-to-end delivery from initial data extraction and modeling to production deployment and lifecycle monitoring (e.g., testing, performance dashboards, alert thresholds).
- Extract, curate, and analyze large-scale operational data using SQL and Python.
- Translate complex modeling outputs into clear, business-driven narratives and presentations for clinical and business leadership.
Required Qualifications
- 1+ years of professional experience writing production-grade code in Python and querying complex datasets using SQL.
- 1+ years of professional experience building, validating, and deploying machine learning models, statistical models, algorithmic solutions, or LLM-based solutions.
- Experience using Git/GitHub for version control and collaborative code development.
- Experience delivering presentations, reports, or business reviews to cross-functional stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
- Initiative: Proven ability to independently investigate ambiguous problems, interview process owners, and structure solutions rather than waiting for defined specifications.
- Stakeholder Communication: Ability to translate complex data science concepts into clear business risks and opportunities for non-technical partners.
- ML Model & Generative AI: Practical experience building ML solutions or LLM-based solutions (e.g., prompt design, RAG architectures, model evaluation frameworks).
- Production Monitoring: Experience establishing model performance guardrails, such as drift detection, production monitoring, and alerting systems.
- Domain Experience: Familiarity with healthcare data (e.g., pharmacy claims, clinical workflows, or unstructured clinical notes).
- Cloud & Tools: Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or similar enterprise cloud environments, as well as AI-assisted software development tools.
Education
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Analytics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
