Our software handles the tedious parts of patient care coordination so that clinicians can focus on patients. We ship fast, iterate constantly, and believe AI should amplify human capability, not replace it.\nThe Role\nYou'll own the intelligence layer of our platform-the orchestration systems that coordinate LLM calls, the retrieval pipelines that surface relevant medical history, and the evaluation frameworks that keep it all honest.\nYou're a generalist who can and will ship across the stack, but you geek out on AI infrastructure. You've opinions on prompt management, you've debugged token limits at 2am, and you know that \"it works in the playground\" means nothing. You're pushing the limits of your bot swarm farther every day to maximize your impact and excited for the future.\nYou might:\nImprove our LangGraph orchestration to handle complex clinical workflows\nBuild retrieval pipelines that search patient records using embeddings and vector similarity\nSet up Langfuse/LangSmith tracing to debug why a summarization chain is hallucinating\nFine-tune a model on medical terminology or clinical note structure\nEvaluate Gemini vs Claude vs GPT for specific healthcare tasks\nDesign the data pipeline that turns unstructured clinical docs into searchable vectors reliably and responsibly\nWrite the TypeScript or Python service(s) that ties it all together\nYou Should Have\nHands-on LLM experience. You've built with OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google APIs. You understand context windows, temperature, and when to use which model.\nOrchestration chops. LangChain, LangGraph, or similar. You know how to chain calls, handle failures, and manage state.\nObservability instincts. You've used Langfuse, LangSmith, or Phoenix. You know that production AI without tracing is flying blind.\nStrong hold of agentic code authoring systems. You are pushing the limits of Claude, Codex, Gemini, Copilot, or similar daily.\nRetrieval/RAG experience. You've built vector search with Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, or Vertex AI Matching Engine. You understand chunking strategies, embedding models, and reranking.\nGeneralist coding ability. You can write Python for ML pipelines and TypeScript for services. You're not afraid of infrastructure and you're not too caught up in the moment to pitch in on the boring stuff.\nBonus Points\nFine-tuning experience (LoRA, PEFT, or full fine-tunes)\nHealthcare/FHIR/clinical data background\nExperience with Gemini models and Vertex AI\nEvaluation frameworks (RAGAS, custom evals, human-in-the-loop)\nYou've made embeddings work on messy, real-world data\nTech Stack\nAI/ML: LangGraph, Vertex AI, Gemini, embeddings, vector search\nObservability: Langfuse, LangSmith\nBackend: Python (FastAPI), TypeScript (Fastify)\nData: PostgreSQL, BigQuery, FHIR\nInfrastructure: GCP (Cloud Run, Pub/Sub), Terraform\nWhat We Offer\nCompetitive salary + equity\nHealth insurance (we're a healthcare company-we get it)\nRemote-first, async-friendly\nSmall team where your work ships to production, not a backlog\nTo apply: Send your resume. [redacted]  Be specific. We want the stack traces and the wrong turns, not the polished retrospective.\nBasalt Health is an equal opportunity employer.\nWe are only able to consider candidates who are already authorized to work in the United States without employer sponsorship.\nCompensation\nThe base pay range for this role is $150,000 - $220,000 per year.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3469,"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":["Equity","Health insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-27T12:24:53Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.286,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":290,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/basalt-staff-ai-engineering","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/basalt-staff-ai-engineering.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T21:37:51Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":12110,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4394181},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4394181"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbasalt-staff-ai-engineering"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbasalt-staff-ai-engineering"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbasalt-staff-ai-engineering"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/basalt-staff-ai-engineering\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbasalt-staff-ai-engineering"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3332517}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"basalt.health","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3332517},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
