What you'll do
- Lead the AI team: set the technical vision and direction, establish how we build AI, and grow and mentor a team of engineers.
- Architect and build large-scale agentic systems that automate extremely complex, multi-step healthcare processes along with the foundational frameworks, shared tooling, and evaluation infrastructure that accelerate every product the team builds.
- Stay deeply hands-on as the team's top technical expert, personally solving the hardest problems and making the key architecture and approach calls (agent design, RAG, prompting, fine-tuning).
- Set the bar for reliability and safety: evaluation (including LLM-as-a-judge), guardrails, PHI-protected handling, and clinical safety non-negotiables before anything ships.
- Own the AI roadmap and priorities, and translate company and clinical strategy into what the team builds.
- Partner with the deployment/infrastructure engineer to ensure foundational systems deploy, scale, and run reliably in production.
- Work directly with product, clinical, and executive stakeholders as the technical voice for AI.




- Raise the engineering bar across the team and set the culture for how AI is built here.

What we're looking for
- [8]+ years building AI/ML systems, with deep, current expertise in modern LLM and agentic systems.
- Experience leading engineers or teams setting technical direction, mentoring, and growing people — while remaining hands-on.
- A track record of architecting and shipping large-scale agentic systems for complex, real-world workflows — plus the foundational frameworks other engineers build on — not just individual applications or demos.
- Recognized technical depth: you're the person a team turns to for the hardest AI problems.
- Strong software and systems engineering fundamentals in [Python + your stack]; you reason fluently about reliability, scale, and failure modes.
- Product sense and the ability to prioritize the AI bets worth making — and kill the ones that aren't.
- Excel
