We’re looking for an engineer who can turn advances in AI into useful experiences for patients and clinicians.\nYou’ll build agents and the product experiences around them: how they gather context, use tools, communicate with patients, and work with clinicians. You should enjoy working across models, backend services, and interfaces to make an entire workflow work well.\nThis is a hands-on product engineering role. You’ll work closely with clinical teammates to understand what good care requires, then build, evaluate, and improve the software that supports it.\nWhat you'll do\nBuild AI-powered features for patients and clinicians, from an early prototype through production.\n\nDevelop agent workflows that gather information, use tools, maintain context, and move tasks forward.\n\nBuild the backend logic and user interfaces needed to deliver complete product experiences.\n\nWork with clinicians to define appropriate agent behavior, limits, and handoffs.\n\nCompare models and approaches, and improve prompts, tool definitions, retrieval, and orchestration based on evidence.\n\nWork with our evals engineer to test changes against realistic cases, investigate failures, and prevent regressions.\n\nImprove latency, cost, reliability, and observability so features work well in everyday use.\n\nPartner with our backend engineer to connect agents to secure services and healthcare integrations.\n\nWhat you bring\nA strong software engineering foundation and experience shipping products people use.\n\nHands-on experience building LLM-powered applications or agents beyond a demo, including tool use and multi-step workflows.\n\nThe ability to work across backend services and user interfaces, and take a feature from idea to launch.\n\nGood judgment about when to use a model, when to write conventional software, and how to combine them.\n\nAn empirical approach: you inspect outputs, build tests, study failures, and measure whether a change helps.\n\nCareful thinking about uncertainty, sensitive information, and when a workflow needs human input.\n\nComfort working with ambiguous requirements and getting feedback directly from users and clinical teammates.\n\nEffective use of AI coding tools, with responsibility for the quality of the software you ship.\n\nWe care about what you’ve built and how you approach problems. Experience at a small startup, independent projects, and substantive open-source work can all demonstrate the ownership we’re looking for.\nBonus points\nPatient-facing or clinician-facing software.\n\nConversational or voice agents, retrieval systems, or workflows that use multiple tools.\n\nProduction model evaluation, monitoring, and failure analysis.\n\nDesigning interfaces that make complex tasks easier to complete.\n\nHealthcare experience is welcome, but it isn’t required. You should be interested in learning the domain and building carefully with clinical partners.\nYou’ll help shape how patients and clinicians experience AI in healthcare. The work spans technical decisions and product decisions: what an agent should do, how people interact with it, and how we know it’s helping.\nYou’ll have room to experiment, ship, and own meaningful parts of the product on a small team.\nThis role is based in New York City. We’re open to candidates willing to relocate.\nROLE LOGISTICS, COMPENSATION & BENEFITS\nRole Type: Engineering\n\nSalary: $160,000-$220,000, based on experience\n\nJob Type: Full-time\n\nWork Setup: In-person, New York City\n\nEquity: Meaningful equity, commensurate with experience\n\nHealth Insurance: Medical, dental, and vision\n\nHSA/FSA: Eligible\n\nTime Off: Flexible, unlimited vacation\n\nAdditional Perks: Meal stipends, team retreats\n\nWork Hours: Flexible but demanding.
