Job Title: Senior AI Engineer (LLM / Agent Systems)


Role Overview

Join a high-growth, venture-backed healthcare AI company building next-generation technology to transform clinical and operational workflows across post-acute care. The platform combines proprietary sensing technology, predictive analytics, and emerging AI capabilities to proactively identify risk and improve patient outcomes at scale.

The company is now expanding into a new AI-driven product layer focused on LLM-powered workflows and agent-based systems that unify clinical, operational, and financial data into a single intelligent interface. Think of it as a domain-specific AI platform enabling real-time decision-making across healthcare environments.


This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and customer delivery. You will design and deploy production-grade AI agents, work directly with customers, and play a key role in shaping how AI is applied in real-world clinical settings.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and deploy LLM-powered agents and workflows for real-world use cases (e.g., automation, insights, operational decisioning)
  • Translate ambiguous customer requirements into scalable, production-ready AI systems
  • Build and integrate pipelines across APIs, data platforms, and external systems (REST, webhooks, event streams)
  • Configure and optimize RAG pipelines, vector databases, and context management systems
  • Partner with Sales during pre-sales to prototype solutions, whiteboard architectures, and define implementation scope
  • Own end-to-end delivery from initial prototype through production deployment and iteration
  • Analyze system performance (accuracy, hallucination rates, outcomes) and continuously improve models and workflows
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, and customer stakeholders
  • Travel to customer sites (~25%) to support deployments, training, and executive presentations
  • Identify expansion opportunities and support additional use cases post-deployment


Education & Qualifications:

  • 5–10+ years of experience in software engineering, AI engineering, solutions engineering, or similar hands-on technical roles
  • Strong experience building and shipping production systems (not just prototypes or research work)
  • Proficiency with APIs, integrations, and backend development (Python, Node.js/TypeScript, or similar)
  • Experience working with LLMs and modern AI tooling (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar ecosystems)
  • Familiarity with agent frameworks, RAG architectures, or context orchestration systems
  • Ability to operate in ambiguous environments and take full ownership of outcomes
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment


Preferred Experience:

  • Hands-on experience with tools such as LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, DSPy, or similar frameworks
  • Experience building AI systems that interact with real-world data (e.g., time-series, operational systems, or large-scale datasets)
  • Background in regulated environments (e.g., healthcare, fintech, or similar)
  • Experience owning both pre-sales and post-sales technical delivery
  • Exposure to enterprise system integrations (e.g., event-driven architectures, streaming, or workflow automation)
  • Advanced degrees (MS/PhD) from strong technical programs are valued but not required


Why Our Client:

  • Opportunity to build next-generation AI systems with real-world impact at scale
  • Work on a new product initiative centered around LLMs, agents, and intelligent workflows
  • High ownership role with direct influence on product direction and customer outcomes
  • Fast-growing company with strong traction and significant enterprise demand
  • Work alongside a highly technical, mission-driven team focused on meaningful problems
  • Exposure to both cutting-edge AI and real-world deployment challenges


Compensation, Benefits & Perks:

  • $120k-220k DOE + bonus + equity
  • 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Generous PTO
  • Paid parental leave
  • Commuter benefits
  • Professional development support
  • Company retreats and team events


Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis now and in the future. This position does not offer sponsorship.
