ML Engineer, Voice & AI

ABOUT FREED:

Doctors are overworked, burnt out, and are quitting in masses.

At Freed, we combine clinician love with the latest AI tech and intense execution to create products that make clinicians happier.

Our first product is an AI scribe that automates medical documentation.

Since May of 2023, we have:

• Acquired 20,000 paying and loving clinicians

• Generated 70,000 patient notes daily and over 2 million monthly

With the backing of Sequoia Capital and other world-class VC’s, we are rapidly expanding our product offering. Patient-facing assistants, patient insights, EHR integrations, and other products are being built and used by thousands of clinicians every day.

We are looking for entrepreneurs. Fast, ambitious, and smart individuals who want to take care of the people who care for our health. Expect intense, clinician-focused, and interesting co-workers who want to win.

With an office in San Francisco, we embrace a hybrid schedule that brings out the best in teamwork and innovation. Our teams come together in person three days a week to collaborate, connect, and have a little fun along the way.

How You’ll Have Impact:

• Evaluate and fine-tune open source speech recognition models to provide new capabilities and better quality.

What You’ll Bring:

• 2+ years working with speech recognition models.

• 5+ years of Machine Learning or Software experience.

• A history of consistent top performance and a desire for a mission-driven work culture.

Nice to Haves:
