We’re looking for a highly skilled Senior Product Engineer who is excited about building in an AI native, agentic world. This is not a traditional frontend or backend role! It’s for engineers who:

• use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) as a force multiplier,

• think in terms of systems, workflows, and agents, not just endpoints and screens,

• can turn ambiguous product problems into working, production-ready solutions,

• want to help evolve our platform toward an agent-driven future in healthcare.

You’ll work closely with Product, Design, and other engineers to re-imagine how our systems are built, extended, and operated as AI becomes a first class part of the development process.

Build AI Native Systems

• Design, implement, and operate backend and fullstack systems that incorporate LLMs, tools, and agents as core components;

• Build agentic workflows (multi-step, tool using, stateful systems) that solve real product and operational problems;

• Integrate LLMs safely and reliably into production systems, with attention to observability, cost, and failure modes.

Engineer with AI as a Partner

• Use modern AI coding tools (e.g. Claude Code/Codex/Pi/Cursor) to accelerate development, refactoring, and exploration;

• Set patterns and standards for how AI is used in day to day engineering work;

• Help the team move faster without sacrificing quality or clarity.

Product Driven Engineering

• Collaborate closely with Product Management, Design, and other stakeholders to shape solutions, not just implement specs;

• Translate high level goals into technical architecture and execution plans;

• Contribute to roadmap discussions with a strong systems and platform perspective.

Own the System End to End

• Design APIs, services, and data models (primarily backend leaning);

• Ensure reliability, security, privacy, and scalability in a regulated healthcare context;

• Operate and observe the system’s behaviour in the real world;

• Improve developer experience and internal tooling where it unlocks leverage.

Required

• 7+ years of experience as a Software Engineer, with strong knowledge of major parts of our tech stack (AWS, Java, Typescript)

• Strong experience in building with LLMs in production, not just prototypes

• Clear enthusiasm for the capabilities and opportunities of AI and agentic systems

• Strong system design skills and comfort working in ambiguous problem spaces

• Ability to communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders

Strong Plus

• Experience designing, building, and operating long running workflows, background jobs, or distributed systems

• Familiarity with healthcare, regulated products, or safety critical systems

• Startup or fast moving product environment experience

What We Care About (Beyond the Resume)

• You’re curious and opinionated about where software development is going

• You ship and you iterate based on real world feedback

• You don’t wait for perfect specs; you help create them!

• You see AI as a new abstraction layer, not a gimmick
