🏢 About Noora Health

Noora Health is a unique social impact organization that transforms healthcare delivery by training family caregivers in hospital settings, having reached over 43 million caregivers across multiple countries. Their Care Companion Program has demonstrated remarkable outcomes like reducing post-surgical cardiac complications by 71% and newborn mortality by 18%. Working here means contributing to technology that directly improves health outcomes in underserved communities through their award-winning, evidence-based approach.

About This Role

As an AI/ML Engineer at Noora Health, you'll develop machine learning solutions to enhance their caregiver education platforms and health systems strengthening initiatives. This role involves creating models that can personalize training content, predict health outcomes, or optimize program delivery for their Care Companion Program across India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Nepal. Your work will directly impact how millions of caregivers receive life-saving education.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve collaborating with their content and implementation teams to understand caregiver needs, then developing ML models to personalize training modules based on regional health data and caregiver profiles. You'd likely be working on deploying these solutions across their technology platforms while ensuring they function reliably in varied hospital environments across multiple countries.

🎯 Who Noora Health Is Looking For

  • Has experience building ML models for healthcare, education, or social impact applications, particularly with imbalanced or limited datasets common in global health contexts
  • Demonstrates ability to deploy models in resource-constrained environments (considering their work across 12,800+ facilities in developing countries)
  • Shows understanding of both technical requirements and the human-centered design needed for caregiver-facing technology
  • Has experience with multilingual or cross-cultural AI applications relevant to their work in India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Nepal
