Our telehealth support solutions are thoughtfully designed to streamline and simplify go-to-market care delivery for companies offering meaningful virtual support to patients across an expansive array of specialties, in all 50 states.\nAbout the Role\nOpenLoop is building the future of healthcare infrastructure. We are hiring for this role at the Senior, Staff and Senior Staff levels. Apply once; we will calibrate level during the process based on the scope you have carried and the depth you bring, not on years alone.\nWhat You'll Do\nShip Production Agents: Build and run LLM-based agents and assistants that real users depend on, not prototypes.\n\nAgent Runtime & Orchestration: Build how agents run, call tools, hold context and hand off work, including failure handling, retries, timeouts and sandboxing.\n\nEvaluation: Build evaluation sets, test harnesses, regression tests and AI-graded evals so the team can show \"this got better\" with numbers and catch regressions before users do.\n\nModel Access & Operations: Work across multiple model providers, manage version upgrades and plan fallbacks for when a provider fails.\n\nObservability & Cost: Trace what agents did and why, monitor behavior in production, and attribute AI spend to each agent and use case.\n\nGrounding & Retrieval: Connect agents to real, messy company data through retrieval (RAG), context design and prompt engineering, so answers are based on facts.\n\nWorkflow Design: Work with operations teams to decide which steps of a human workflow an agent can do reliably, and when it should escalate to a person.\n\nSecurity, Privacy & Safety: Keep patient data (PHI) protected in every AI system, control what agents can access, and defend against misuse such as prompt injection.\n\nCloud & Data Foundations: Build on GCP and partner with the Data Platform teams who provide the governed data agents use.\n\nRaise the Bar: Contribute to code and design review, and help engineers who are newer to AI.\n\nCross-functional Work: Explain AI trade-offs in plain language to product, operations and clinical stakeholders, including when the honest answer is \"the AI isn't ready for this yet.\"\n\nOther duties as assigned.\n\nWho You Are\nRequired Qualifications:\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field\n\nProven Engineering Experience: 5 to 15+ years of software engineering experience.\n\nProduction LLM Experience: Hands-on experience building and running LLM-based systems in production that real users relied on, not only demos, prototypes or personal projects. Senior Staff candidates typically bring 2+ years.\n\nCore AI Depth: Real hands-on depth in at least one core area: agent runtime, evaluation, retrieval, or observability and cost. At Staff and Senior Staff we look for depth in agent runtime or evaluation, and at Senior Staff a second deep area plus working knowledge across the rest.\n\nEvaluation Rigor: Experience measuring whether an AI system works with evaluation data, rather than \"it seemed to work.\"\n\nEngineering Fundamentals: Strong production engineering across testing, debugging, services, APIs, deployment and on-call.\n\nData & Security Fluency: Experience handling sensitive data with a security-first mindset.\n\nComfort working in a greenfield space, and clear communication with technical and non-technical partners\n\nPreferred Qualifications:\nRegulated-Industry Experience: Healthcare (PHI, HIPAA), finance or insurance.\n\nGCP Experience: Running production services on Google Cloud.\n\nModel Operations: Experience migrating a system between model versions or providers.\n\nClassic ML Background: Machine learning experience beyond LLMs.\n\nInternal Platforms: Built a platform used by other engineering teams.\n\nTeam Leadership: For Senior Staff, experience leading a small team's technical direction from zero and growing a single pod into multiple teams.\n\nOur Benefits\nIn addition, for salaried positions you would also be eligible for:\nMedical, Dental, and Vision plans\n\nFlexible Spending/Health Savings Accounts\n\nFlexible PTO\n\n401(k) + Company Match\n\nLife Insurance, Pet insurance, and more\n\nOur Company\nWe have a relatively flat organizational structure here at OpenLoop. Everyone is encouraged to bring ideas to the table and make things happen. This fits in well with our core values of Autonomy, Competence and Belonging, as we want everyone to feel empowered and supported to do their best work.\nSound like a good fit? We’d love to meet you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4592,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Life insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Health Care","Telemedicine & Virtual Care","Pharmacies"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-05T17:56:56Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 2","filings_12m":2,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":172500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":2}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":34,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/openloop-health-applied-ai-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/openloop-health-applied-ai-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T04:50:20Z","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":7524,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"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":678301},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=678301"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fopenloop-health-applied-ai-engineer"},{"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%2Fopenloop-health-applied-ai-engineer"},{"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%2Fopenloop-health-applied-ai-engineer"},{"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/openloop-health-applied-ai-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fopenloop-health-applied-ai-engineer"}]}
