AI Engineer

Nu Image Medical is hiring an AI Engineer (founding member) to help open its new NJ office and build production AI agent workflows in an in-person role in the Mahwah/Wyckoff area.

• Own AI engineering and hands-on code development end to end.
• Review diffs from agents running in parallel on branches
  ; push back on bad code and write the tricky parts yourself.
• Work with the CTO on architecture and priorities, then turn decisions into shipped code
  .
• Own the code agents generate by reading every line
  , debugging by hand, and fixing production issues when agents get it wrong.
• Handle production breakages directly rather than relying on what 'the agent wrote'.
• Investigate weird bugs using logs
  , queries
  , and a debugger to find root causes.
• Find and resolve issues nobody asked for, such as slow queries
  , flaky jobs
  , or tools that could save hours.
• Communicate outcomes: show what shipped
  , what broke
  , and what you want to try next.
• Build a modern web platform and internal tools that people actually enjoy using.
• Build integrations and automation to connect systems and reduce busywork.
• Develop AI-powered workflows including agent setups,
  guardrails
  , and review steps that enable a small core to build faster.
• Build secure, reliable, well-tested systems with healthcare-grade privacy and security baked in from day one.
• Take initiative: identify problems, build improvements, and deliver fixes.

• Ability to ship with AI coding agents daily, including Cursor and the Grok ecosystem (including Grok Bot
  ), plus similar tools.
• Stay current with modern AI tooling and rapid changes month to month.
• Build real agent workflows
  : task breakdown, parallel agents, prompt and agent orchestration, and review loops to catch bad output before release.
• Verify agent output using tests first
  , reading diffs line by line, and not trusting output that only 'looks right'.
• Protect sensitive data (customer information, secrets, credentials) by keeping it out of prompts, logs, and tools not approved for it.
• Comfort debugging and building without AI when needed: read unfamiliar code, step through it, and fix by hand.
• Strong software architecture instincts: explain design choices and recognize when an agent’s approach will hurt later.
• Strong PHP and Laravel experience: queues, jobs, scheduler, events, and Eloquent without N+1 issues.
• Strong SQL skills with MySQL
  : schema design, indexing, migrations, reading query plans, and writing queries yourself.
• Hands‑on debugging: logs, stack traces,
  Xdebug or similar
  , reproducing issues, and root‑cause analysis.
• Security and privacy best practices: authentication and authorization, input validation, encryption, least privilege, OWASP Top Risks, and secrets handling.
• Commute to the Mahwah / Wyckoff area and prefer in‑office work.

• Cursor, Grok, Grok Bot
• PHP, Laravel, Vue, Tailwind
• MySQL, Xdebug
• REST APIs, Redis
• AWS
• Pest, PHPUnit
• Git Hub Actions

• Observability background (structured logs, metrics, tracing, alerts).
• Experience building MCP servers, agent tools, or custom agent integrations.
• Prompt and agent eval experience.
• Experience with Laravel Horizon, Octane, Pulse, or Reverb.
• Advanced threat modeling and secrets management beyond the basics.
• Open‑source work, side projects, or talks at meetups.

• A modern web platform and internal tools that people actually enjoy using.
• Integrations and automation that connect systems and reduce busywork.
• AI-powered workflows, including agent setups, guardrails, and review steps.
• Secure, reliable, well‑tested systems with healthcare‑grade privacy and security.
