We run experiments to test our various hypotheses and measure our progress. We build ML models and embed them into our web app to deliver a personalized experience to patients. We help differentiate Cedar's product offerings with hard-to-copy competitive advantages.
To do this, we have built an open, supportive, and collaborative team culture. "Love thy teammate" is one of our Data Science values, and we live this value by operating from a mindset of curiosity, possibility, and the best intentions of each of our team members. As a team, we are dedicated to and active about continually growing our technical excellence and collaborative excellence, equally.
We are not doing this alone; we partner with the other Makers teams (Product, Engineering, Design, and User Research) to grow our impact. We also work with Commercial teams to evangelize our vision to clients and get market feedback on which pain points are the most urgent to solve.
