Brisbane, Australia VALD Full time

VALD is the world leader in technology for the allied health industry, providing innovative human-measurement technology to 6,500 clients in over 100 countries. If you have a favorite team in the NBA, EPL, or NFL, there's a good chance they use VALD Technologies.

Since its humble beginnings in 2015 in Brisbane, Australia, VALD has grown to a team of over 200 team members in over 30 countries, with 5 offices across four continents. 

Driven by a multidisciplinary team of researchers, clinicians, sports scientists, designers, developers and engineers, VALD's suite of systems offer unparalleled insight into human movement, performance, injury risk and rehabilitation.

About the role

VALD is building the world's largest musculoskeletal database, with over two billion data points and counting. Using this data, we can help practitioners to objectively assess patients' progress and make more accurate, data-informed treatment decisions. We are looking for an experienced data scientist to join our growing team and build the technical foundations for VALD's future growth.

In this role, you will: 

  • Develop, test and deploy machine learning models for applications such as outlier detection, rehabilitation trajectory modeling, and predictive device maintenance. 
  • Enhance VALD's text-to-SQL generative AI tool in Databricks Genie, empowering internal stakeholders to unlock the value of our data. 
  • Create and optimize reporting dashboards in Databricks AI/BI Dashboards and Power BI to surface critical insights for VALD's Product and Commercial teams. 
  • Automate the analytics pipeline to establish a normative data repository, enabling practitioners to easily benchmark patients' performance against a reference group. 
  • Conduct ad-hoc data analysis to support various initiatives across VALD, including patient rehabilitation analytics and customized normative data reporting. 
  • Own and maintain the data science codebase, implementing best practices in development life cycle management and source control. 

Is this you?

Our ideal candidate has: 

  • Tertiary qualifications in mathematics, statistics, engineering, or a related field. 
  • Proficiency in Python (including PySpark and ML libraries), Databricks, SQL, Git, R, Excel, and Power BI. 
  • Proven experience building machine learning models in Python. 
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure and its applications in data science.  
  • All the attributes that make a great data scientist – curiosity, attention to detail, teamwork, communication skills, a passion for problem-solving, and a willingness to meet deadlines. 
  • Ability to handle ambiguity and thrive in a startup environment. 

Why VALD?

An opportunity to be part of revolutionizing the health and performance industries is just the beginning when you join VALD.  

We have a range of benefits we offer to our team, such as:

  • The opportunity to work in a company that is redefining allied healthcare.
  • Learn from a range of high-performing individuals and teams across a range of disciplines.
  • Be part of a down-to-earth, inclusive and vibrant team.
  • Chefs that prepare you delicious fresh breakfast and lunch.
  • On-site barista to make your coffee just as you like it.
  • Team gym, masseuse, and access to physiotherapy and exercise physiology services.

Diversity & Inclusion Commitment

VALD's best asset is not our technology but our people and culture. A culture of inclusion and diversity is critical to our business. We know diverse teams perform better. It's not a separate initiative – we aim to embed inclusion and diversity in everything we do. We are committed to fostering an inclusive work environment and embracing diversity, including gender, nationality, disability, age, marital/parental status, ethnicity, gender identity, socioeconomic background and sexual orientation. We welcome applications from people from all backgrounds.
