About the Role As an

AI Engineer at Hippocratic AI , you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of

voice-based generative AI in healthcare . You’ll design and build the intelligent systems that power our

clinically safe healthcare agents , working at the intersection of large language models, real-time voice, and human-centered product design.

This is a deeply

hands‑on and cross‑functional role , partnering closely with

AI researchers, product managers, and clinical experts

to bring advanced language and speech models into production. From building scalable RAG and multi‑agent pipelines to conversational interactions, your work will directly influence how patients and providers safely interact with generative AI at scale.

We’re looking for experienced engineers who are passionate about

AI in the real world —people who love taking cutting‑edge research, turning it into robust products, and advancing the frontier of what’s possible in

safe, agentic healthcare systems .

What You'll Do:

Design, build, and optimize

production‑grade AI pipelines

that power our

voice‑based generative healthcare agents —from retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) to multi‑step reasoning systems.

Collaborate cross‑functionally with

product, clinical, and engineering teams

to translate healthcare workflows into safe, scalable, and human‑centered AI experiences.

Prototype and deploy

zero‑to‑one features

using state‑of‑the‑art LLMs, retrieval systems, and streaming architectures—balancing innovation with reliability.

Develop and refine

AI‑native workflows

that support real‑time, conversational, and long‑running interactions across diverse healthcare contexts.

Drive continuous improvement in

model evaluation, safety testing, and observability , ensuring every agent interaction meets clinical safety standards

What You Bring Must Have:

3+ years

of professional experience in software, ML, or AI engineering.

Proven track record building and shipping

AI‑or ML‑powered products

in production environments.

Strong programming skills in

Python

with experience in

distributed systems, APIs, and data pipelines .

Deep understanding of

prompt engineering, vector databases, and retrieval systems (RAG), voice agents

or willingness to learn rapidly.

Experience with

cloud environments

(AWS/GCP/Azure) and modern DevOps practices (Terraform, CI/CD, monitoring).

Excellent communication, cross‑functional collaboration, and an ability to move fast in high‑impact domains.

Nice‑to‑Have:

Experience building or deploying

LLM‑based or multi‑agent systems

at scale.

Hands‑on work with

speech recognition, text‑to‑speech, or streaming architectures

for real‑time AI experiences.

Prior exposure to

healthcare, safety‑critical domains , or regulated product development.

If you’re an

AI engineer

who thrives at the intersection of

cutting‑edge research and real‑world product impact , we’d love to hear from you.

Join

Hippocratic AI

and help shape the future of

clinically safe, voice‑enabled AI systems

that are already transforming patient care at scale.
