Adaptive Innovations is a New York City and Dallas-based developer of an AI-native home healthcare operating system and clinical services platform.
ABOUT US We are fixing US healthcare by building an AI-native physical care platform, starting with home health. Home health is a $140B industry with less than $10B in EBITDA — 40% of revenue is spent on pure administrative waste. We automate this work with AI, creating a fundamentally different cost structure compared to incumbents. This lets us rapidly take market share by serving the 30% of patients who go untreated today. By reshaping the cost structure of this industry, we unlock its growth. We've built one of the best AI teams in the world (from Character AI, Scale, Palantir, Citadel, Jane Street) and paired them with a team of healthcare veterans to build a new type of healthcare company: one that delivers care at the speed of an AI company. Our physical care platform already operates with 30pp higher gross margins than traditional home health providers. With our AI advantage, we pay nurses more, remove their admin burden, and unlock the scale economics that have been missing from this fragmented industry. If we served this entire $140B market, instead of $10B in EBITDA, we'd drive $60B. We're starting with home health, then expanding to all delivered care. Our mission is "any care, any where". Fundamentally, our incentives are aligned with America. Every dollar in revenue we make is two dollars taken out of the healthcare system. If we succeed, so does US healthcare. OUR STACK We build on a modern, production-grade foundation: Python, Django, PostgreSQL, and Redis on the backend, React and TypeScript on the frontend, and AWS, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, and Temporal for infrastructure. Our AI/ML layer includes Claude and custom LLM integrations, agentic tooling, ambient scribing, and AI form-filling engines. We use Sentry for observability and GitHub with CI/CD pipelines and comprehensive testing frameworks for development. THE OPPORTUNITY We're building the intelligence layer that measures, monitors, and optimizes every aspect of our healthcare operations. You'll translate complex healthcare operations into actionable insights, design metrics and dashboards that guide strategic decisions, and empower teams across the organization to make data-driven decisions at scale. A successful Data Scientist at Adaptive Innovations is analytical, business impact-minded, and comfortable translating ambiguous questions into clear actionable insights. You'll have significant ownership over how we measure success, identify opportunities, and track performance across our company’s clinical and back-office operations. Over time, you'll define the analytical frameworks that shape how we operate, setting the standard for how we use data to drive business outcomes. Our target is to build systems that drive the marginal cost to zero of having data-driven decisions across the company.
