Our agentic AI works claims end-to-end, from portal follow-ups and payor calls to appeals and medical records, so providers can resolve more denials, recover more revenue, and focus on what matters most: serving patients.\nWe just closed a $16M Series A led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with continued participation from Uncork Capital and Neo. We're still small, still early, and going after a $260B+ problem that's only getting worse. If you want to work on hard problems that matter, alongside people who care deeply about the mission (and each other), we'd love to meet you.\nAbout the role\nAs an AI Engineer on our research team, you’ll work on our hardest research and AI infra problems. You’ll both help prototype new products and also work on turning prototypes into a high quality AI product. Hard problems include passing the healthcare billing Turing Test - would an insurance agent who is interacting with our AI or a healthcare biller who is reviewing the work of our AI think our AI is a human, and not an AI? More concretely, you will be working to improve our AI agent’s quality so it acts more human-like and collects more accurate and detailed results from insurance.\nWhat you’ll do\nMain focus is on improving models, LLM orchestration, prompt optimizations, evaluation framework, and AI infra\n\nEnable agent/workflow product engineers\n\nOwn and raise the bar on AI quality\n\nOwn ultimate vision of end to end AI orchestration of modules\n\nWork on hardest research problems (ie. Anti-AI)\n\nMainly a mix of ML, data science, and applied LLM work. Heavy Python.\n\nWho we’re looking for\nYou like reading the latest LLM research papers\n\nDeep experience in implementing and building AI agents\n\nEager to try out the latest releases (ie. o1, OpenAI voice mode, Claude Computer-Use) to see how it can be used in real-world healthcare billing applications\n\nWorked with complex distributed systems with many async operations\n\nExcited about pushing the boundaries of conversational AI technology\n\nCan balance quick experimentation with systematic evaluation\n\nVery high Python mastery\n\nPerks & Benefits\nIn-person culture at our Flatiron office in NYC with paid lunch and dinner\n\nFlexible hours and time off\n\nGym stipend\n\nCommuter benefits\n\nHealth, dental, vision insurance\n\n401(k) with matching contribution\n\nAnnual offsite\n\nOur Values\nLead with Empathy - Great products and teams are built on empathy-whether for our customers, users, or team members. We take the time to walk in others' shoes, listen actively, and truly understand their challenges, needs, and perspectives.\n\nHumbly Ambitious - We combine humility with ambition. No task is beneath us, and no challenge too big. Greatness comes from being willing to do whatever it takes, while having the courage to take bold risks and learn from failures.\n\nRadical Agency - Own your domain. Drive initiatives with autonomy and accountability. Think deeply, communicate with the team, and maintain a bias for action.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3071,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Medical AI","Revenue Cycle & Medical Billing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T23:51:48Z"}],"liveness":{"score":2,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.059,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":647,"expected_fill_days":25,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-09-28T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":300000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/amperos-ai-research-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/amperos-ai-research-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-28T05:48:38Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4020,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":980,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-29T00:00:00Z"}}}
