Requirements and responsibilities
Why ClariumThe healthcare industry overspends on its supply chain by over $25B each year — the result of fragmented data, inefficient workflows, and wasted supplies. Clarium is fixing that. Our AI-powered platform, Astra OS, gives hospitals end-to-end visibility into their supply chain operations, automating workflows and surfacing actionable insights so supply chain teams can focus on what matters most: patient care. We're trusted by some of the world's leading health systems, including Yale New Haven Health, Stanford, Geisinger, and Kaiser Permanente.Founded in 2020, Clarium has raised $43M in total funding. Our Series A was led by Northzone, with participation from General Catalyst, AlleyCorp, Kaiser Permanente Ventures, Texas Medical Center Ventures, and 1984 Ventures.The OpportunityClarium builds computer vision pipelines that extract structured data from clinical images under real-world conditions. This role owns the end-to-end pipeline: object detection, identification, reconciliation, and data extraction from images captured under variable lighting, camera angles, and workflow conditions with zero tolerance for errors.You’ll design and build production-ready CV pipelines that combine state-of-the-art object detection models, multimodal LLM/LVM APIs, and barcode/label decoding to produce structured, auditable inventory data that clinical and supply chain workflows depend on. This has direct implications for patient safety, billing accuracy, and supply chain optimization.In This Role You WillDesign, build, implement and optimize multi-stage CV pipelines spanning segmentation, object detection, multimodal LLM/LVM extraction, machine-readable code decoding, and multi-source reconciliationTrain or fine-tune detection models on custom medical supply datasetsBuild and own dataset strategy - leverage augmentation and synthetic data generation to improve the training and testing datasets when data doesn’t exist.Monitor and improve pipeline accuracy — instrument field-level metrics, diagnose failure modes, and systematically improve precision/recall through model iteration and preprocessing optimizationDesign persistence schemas and audit data models that make every extraction independently reviewableMaintain and extend the async Python backend services that surface pipeline results to downstream clinical workflowsWhat You’ll BringRequired:5+ years experience in computer vision and object detectionHands-on experience training and fine-tuning detection modelsExperience building OCR pipelines for label/packaging text extractionStrong Python skills with experience in OpenCV, image preprocessing, and augmentation techniquesProduction experience with multimodal LLM APIs for structured data extraction and validationBackend engineering: FastAPI, Pydantic v2, PostgreSQL, async PythonNice to Have:OCR pipelines for label/packaging text extractionExperience with barcode/QR/UDI decoding and preprocessing strategies that improve decode ratesMLOps experience: Docker, CI/CD, model versioning, A/B testingWorkflow orchestration tools (Temporal, Prefect, Airflow)Healthcare or supply chain domain experienceFamiliarity with medical device identification standards (UDI, GS1)Skills & Tools You'll Use:Need to Know: Python, PyTorch FastAPI · Pydantic v2 · PostgreSQL · Multimodal LLM APIs · Image preprocessing · Barcode / QR decoding, OCR pipelinesNice to Know: Zero-shot object detection · Temporal · Prefect · AirflowWhat You Get at ClariumTarget Base Salary Range: $170K - $210KThe base salary Clarium offers may vary depending upon the ultimate scope and responsibilities of the position and on the candidate's job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
