We're looking for a highly skilled 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.

• Required7+ 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

• 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

At 9amHealth, you'll join the exciting…
