Front End Programmer: Dynamic Interaction Design and Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Company Overview<\/b><\/p>\n
Headquartered in Cambridge, MA, GNS Healthcare is a predictive analytics company whose math and machine learning technologies derive causality – not just correlation – from mountains of health data. Where other companies describe the statistical \u2018what\u2019<\/i>, our platform delivers the underlying explanation of \u2018why\u2019<\/i>, if A and B, but not C and D happen, then X (for instance, a stroke) will happen. This enables intelligent interventions that save and improve lives and cut medical costs. By learning causal models directly from data, we quickly and more precisely discover what treatments work for whom.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
GNS is helping healthcare leaders discover the knowledge they need to match patients with treatments that work. Our analytics solutions are being applied across healthcare: from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to payers, integrated delivery systems, and accountable care organizations (ACOs).<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Corporate Culture<\/b><\/p>\n
We are passionate about our work and believe that by creating evidence-at-scale, we can help transform healthcare.\u00a0 We look for curiosity, passion, drive and resiliency and value creative intelligence, open teamwork and dedication.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Most of all, we are looking for people who want their talents to make a difference in the real world, vs. designing the next hip app or launching the next “meme.” \u00a0All the talent and energy under our roof goes into products that help real people avoid a medical emergency, or the emotional and financial stress of chronic disease. \u00a0Our end-users’ ability to grok “big data” impacts life, death, health and financial solvency for thousands of individuals and families. \u00a0That\u2019s why our engineering, math and design needs to be insanely great.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Job Description<\/b><\/p>\n
We are looking for an experienced front-end application programmer who is a master of making information manipulable, not just viewable. You are adept at creating integrated dynamic views and controllers (an interaction in one frame changes the view in another, highlighting an item on one part of the screen triggers queries that change the overall picture), and programming elegant ways to raise the signal-to-noise ratio in a complex information space.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If the elegant solution means context-dependent controls, animated overlays, or taking advantage of the graphics chip in a tablet device, you should be comfortable, as a programmer, implementing that.\u00a0 But you are also on guard against \u201cdesign for its own sake.\u201d When end-user interactions have real world consequences, every affordance needs to pull its weight.<\/p>\n
