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.

What You’ll Be Doing

Designing and operating

LLM‑powered and agentic workflows

end‑to‑end

Integrating AI capabilities into backend and product workflows

Building and maintaining

secure, compliant systems

for sensitive healthcare data

Making technical decisions around

security, compliance, cost, performance, and scalability

of AI workloads

Implementing monitoring, alerting, and observability for AI pipelines and production services

Collaborating cross‑functionally with engineering, product, and operations teams

Mentoring engineers on backend best practices and applied AI workflows

Must‑Haves

5+ years of professional software engineering experience

Strong backend and/or full‑stack engineering background from

B2B SaaS or product‑driven startups

Experience deploying

secure, reliable systems

on cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)

Demonstrated ability to build and operate

production systems , not just prototypes

Comfort working with non‑engineers and translating product requirements into technical solutions

Hands‑on experience integrating

LLMs into real applications

(prompting, orchestration, evaluations, or agents)

This role favors engineers who have

owned AI workflows in production , not candidates coming purely from research, data science, or director‑level roles.

Nice‑to‑Haves

1+ year of experience designing AI workflows end‑to‑end in production

Experience leading AI infrastructure or platform projects at an early‑stage startup

Contributions to engineering architecture or coding standards

Experience with containerization and orchestration ( Docker, Kubernetes )

Infrastructure‑as‑code experience ( Terraform, Pulumi )

Exposure to early‑stage product ideation for AI‑enabled features

✅ A

senior IC role

with strong ownership

✅ Applied AI + backend engineering, focused on real users and real constraints

✅ Startup environment with cross‑functional collaboration

❌ Not a director‑level or people‑management role

❌ Not an AI research or purely scientific role
