We’re looking for a senior, hands-on software engineer to design, build, and operate LLM-powered and agentic workflows that support real production use cases—not research demos.
This role sits at the intersection of backend engineering, applied AI, and production infrastructure
. You’ll work on systems that handle sensitive healthcare data, integrate AI into user-facing workflows, and run reliably at scale under strict security and compliance constraints.
This is an individual contributor role with high ownership. You’ll be expected to make pragmatic technical decisions, collaborate closely with product and operations, and help shape how AI capabilities are integrated into the broader platform.
