Accelerate Research with AI

A SoCal startup that uses machine learning to match patients to clinical trials, Deep 6 AI is building an artificial intelligence platform to accelerate life-saving research. “Our customers are the world’s leading academic medical centers, cancer centers and top clinical research sites, and I work with them on how to measure real value, which means getting more patients enrolled,” said VP of Operations Rachel Helfont Heiss. Results matter, in other words, as does ensuring Deep 6 team members see the impact of their work firsthand. “We’re integrating our technology into tools physicians use every day,” said Software Engineering Manager Jeff Skelton. “What we’re building matters and helps people. It doesn’t get much better than that.”

United in purpose, even from a distance

Remote hiring is here to stay. “As Deep 6 grows, being able to recruit across the U.S. has opened up the talent pool tremendously,” said Director of People Rebecca Melucci. With employees in Pasadena, Chicago, Seattle, New York City and the Bay Area, the company’s collaborative culture — which runs on Slack and is augmented by virtual lunch-and-learns, all-hands, game nights and happy hours — is the key to its nationwide success. “Working remotely can come with challenges,” Melucci said, “but we’re committed to maintaining our connections with coworkers.”

We are one mission, one company, one team. We invest in each other and help each other thrive — but we’re also supportive of work-life balance and the time employees spend away from work.

Collaborate with leaders to create your dream career

Rachel Helfont Heiss

VP of Operations

VP of Operations Rachel Helfont Heiss oversees customer-facing teams, but she’s also focused on fostering internal development as the company scales. This past year, she collaborated with leadership to develop job levels and career paths so that “every employee has a clear picture of their potential growth path, whether as expert individual contributors or team leaders,” she said. Aligning on employees’ goals early, then using quarterly check-ins to provide feedback and plan training sessions, Helfont Heiss aims for her colleagues and customers to feel valued and empowered in equal measure.

I’ve learned so much from team members who’ve spent years in clinical research and life sciences. Those experts are very generous with their time, in both formal training and one-on-one collaboration.

Coordinate closely with well-equipped tech teams

“At our heart, we’re a search engine,” said Software Engineering Manager Jeff Skelton, who likes to joke that his application squad “builds the shiny stuff” end users interact with. ElasticSearch, Postgres and DynamoDB are at his disposal, as is AWS and programming languages TypeScript and Kotlin. But in delivering a recent feature to give users a more granular view of search results, Skelton said cross-team collaboration mattered as much as the tech stack. “Everyone took ownership to make sure this feature was a success,” he said. “That speaks volumes about our culture. We’re all one team.”

I often brag about the fact that I work with some of the smartest, most talented people I’ve met in my career. We’re solving a real problem and helping people get the medical care they need.
