What You’ll Do
- Partner with internal business leaders and engineers to identify high-value AI opportunities.
- Translate complex healthcare business problems into scalable agentic AI solutions.
- Use the right tool for the problem. Apply AI where reasoning and ambiguity require it, while using deterministic software, rules, and controls where they provide greater reliability.
- Design, build, and deploy production-ready AI agents and applications.
- Build agent workflows, tool integrations, APIs, data pipelines, and orchestration layers.
- Work directly with stakeholders through discovery, implementation, launch, and handoff.
- Improve automation, decision support, accuracy, and operational efficiency.
- Identify reusable agentic patterns that strengthen the core platform.
- Tackle ambiguous problems where there isn't an existing playbook.
- Validate outcomes, establish guardrails, and transition solutions to long-term owning teams.
What You’ll Bring
- Approximately 3–5 years building software or AI products in startups, applied AI, innovation, consulting, or similar fast-moving environments.
- Experience delivering production software or AI solutions from prototype through launch.
- Experience with LLMs, agents, RAG, tool use, APIs, or modern AI frameworks.
- Interest and experience partnering directly with internal business stakeholders or customers to understand complex problems, lead technical discussions, and translate needs into practical solutions.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals in at least one modern programming language.
- Experience deploying cloud-based production systems.
- Ability to evaluate agent behavior, system performance, and appropriate AI guardrails.
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity and owning problems from discovery through handoff.
- Strong communication skills with both technical and business stakeholders.
- Evidence of curiosity and hands-on experimentation with AI—through your professional work, open source, personal projects, agents, automations, or other technical exploration.
- A builder mindset—we value curiosity, experimentation, and ownership as much as any specific technology stack.
- We care more about what you've built than where you've worked. If you're constantly experimenting with AI, building agents, and shipping projects, we'd love to connect.
- Please note at this time we are unable to proceed with candidates who require visa sponsorship now or in the future.
