Senior AI Engineer

About Circadia Health

Circadia Health is a growth-stage healthcare AI company on a mission to prevent avoidable hospitalizations and transform senior-care operations. Our Circadia Intelligence Platform combines:

• Contactless sensing that monitors respiration and motion with medical-grade accuracy
• Predictive analytics & agentic AI workflows that detect 85% of preventable rehospitalizations ~11 days in advance
• Enterprise integrations that embed insights directly into EHR, care-coordination, billing, and compliance systems

Today, our technology touches 40,000 post-acute patients daily across skilled-nursing, home-health, and home-care networks. We are backed by leading healthcare and AI investors and headquartered in El Segundo, CA.

Why This Role Exists

Each provider we serve has unique clinical pathways, operational constraints, and revenue‑cycle workflows. You will translate those fuzzy needs into production‑grade LLM‑powered agents that automate chart review, risk stratification, care‑plan updates, prior‑auth packet generation, billing checks, and more—winning the technical sale, delivering the first deployment yourself, and guiding expansion across the customer’s enterprise.

What You’ll Do

• Pre‑Sales Partner: Join discovery calls with AEs; white‑board data flows (HL7/FHIR, REST, Kafka); demonstrate rapid agent prototypes using Model Context Protocol (MCP), LangGraph, or AutoGen; and scope a clear implementation plan.
• Own Implementation: Design, build, and refine autonomous workflows—configuring vector stores, grounding contexts, tool‑calling, and EHR webhooks; validate HIPAA compliance; shepherd the solution to go‑live.
• Coordinate Stakeholders: Align clinicians, engineers, executives, and IT on timelines and success metrics; drive accountability with crisp updates and relentless follow‑through.
• Iterate Fast: Review agent logs, hallucination rates, and clinical outcomes; crush edge cases; publish ROI dashboards that excite the customer’s C‑suite.
• Expand the Footprint: Surface new agent use‑cases (e.g., denial prevention, supply‑chain optimization); scope them; and partner with Sales to close upsells.
• Be the Face of Circadia: Travel on‑site, run trainings, host executive readouts, and cultivate champions who rave about our “unreasonable hospitality.”

Must‑Have Qualifications

• 5–10 yrs in solutions / sales engineering, product‑minded software engineering, or technical founder role delivering customer‑facing builds end‑to‑end
• Fluency with REST/JSON & webhook integrations; able to script quick glue code in Python or Node/TS
• Comfortable orchestrating LLM agents (OpenAI Assistants, Anthropic Claude, etc.) and configuring MCPs, RAG pipelines, or similar context‑management layers
• Evidence of extreme ownership—times you “ran through walls” to ship mission‑critical outcomes
• Polished communicator who can translate transformer‑model quirks, predictive‑model outputs, and healthcare regulations to audiences ranging from CNAs to CTOs
• Thrive in the intensity of a high‑growth startup; comfortable juggling multiple deployments at pace
• Willing to spend the first month embedded with the LA engineering team; thereafter hybrid Los Angeles ~25 % travel to customer sites

Nice‑to‑Haves

• Hands‑on with LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, DSPy, or similar agent frameworks
• Prior experience in healthcare IT (EHR/RPM, HL7/FHIR) or regulated cloud environments (HIPAA, SOC 2)
• Track record owning pre‑sales → post‑sales → expansion motions
• Built side‑projects or shipped production features with LLMs, knowledge graphs, or time‑series data streams
• Exceptional new grads with standout projects and grit are welcome to apply

You’ll Thrive Here If…

• “Relentless” is how your peers describe you
• You keep immaculate timelines and over‑communicate progress
• You love jumping on planes to see customers in person
• You care deeply about patient outcomes and elegant engineering alike
