Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior AI Engineer to design, build, and deploy production-grade AI systems. The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer who has built conversational and agentic AI systems, preferably in healthcare, and can rapidly deliver safe, compliant, and complete solutions.

  • Create AI agents that utilize tools and APIs, designing workflows with complex decision-making logic.
  • Integrate AI solutions with enterprise systems and external services to build end-to-end workflows.
  • Design full system architectures, including orchestration layers, data flows, integrations, and safety guardrails.
  • Debug and improve AI systems to address issues such as hallucinations, retrieval failures, and agent/tool failures.
  • Implement safety measures including input/output validation, prompt constraints, and fallback logic to ensure reliable and safe operation in production.

Required Qualifications

  • Experience building end-to-end AI systems and delivering production-grade solutions for real users with real data.
  • Hands-on experience with LLM platforms such as OpenAI or Azure OpenAI, including prompt engineering.
  • Proven ability to design and implement RAG pipelines and agentic systems.
  • Demonstrated experience integrating AI solutions with enterprise systems and external services via APIs.
  • Strong understanding of HIPAA, data privacy, and the requirements of regulated systems from experience in healthcare or similar environments.
  • Proficiency in building safe, compliant AI solutions with robust guardrails.
  • Strong programming skills, preferably in Python.
  • Experience with building and deploying production systems on cloud platforms, preferably Azure.
