Description
Role Overview
Our small product squad (2 fullstack engineers + PM) ships quickly, but customer demand is growing faster than we can build. We’re looking for a senior, product‑minded engineer who can wear many hats — architecture, data, fine-tuning & RAG, with a bit of product taste — and help lay the technical and cultural foundations of the company.
What You’ll Do
Own features end‑to‑end: design, build, ship, and iterate on backend services, web front‑end, and internal tooling.
Scale our Gen‑AI stack: productionize retrieval‑augmented generation pipelines, implement evaluation harnesses, and harden monitoring/alerting.
Shape engineering culture: introduce best‑in‑class CI/CD, code quality standards, security, and mentoring practices.
Collaborate: work with product and sales to translate real patient pain points into elegant solutions.
Influence roadmap: participate in product discovery, weigh technical trade‑offs, and keep us focused on what moves the needle.
Required Technical Skills
- Our core technologies: Python, Postgres, MySQL, NextJS, LangSmith, AWS. We're flexible—use the right tool for the job.
- 5+ years building and operating production software
- U.S. work authorization & residency required
- Proven experience shipping LLM or conversational‑AI products at scale (LLM‑APIs, vector stores, agent frameworks)
- Proficiency in Python and modern JavaScript
- Familiarity with SQL and schema design
- Comfort with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and infrastructure as code (IaC)
- Working knowledge of agents, vector search, embeddings, and RAG performance tuning
- Product taste: you sweat the UX details
- Good communication skills: you can explain complex trade‑offs to non‑engineers
Nice-to-Haves
- Prior healthcare experience
- Understanding of HIPAA, SOC‑2, or other security/compliance frameworks
- Performance and cost‑optimization of ML workloads
