We do not conduct interviews via instant messaging.\nAbout the Role\nThe Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) team is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to lead the design, development, and adoption of AI-native capabilities across our billing and revenue cycle platform.\nThis role combines deep software engineering expertise with hands-on experience building production AI systems. You will help transform how healthcare organizations manage billing, payments, claims, and operational workflows by applying Large Language Models (LLMs), intelligent automation, retrieval systems, and agentic AI architectures to solve real-world business problems.\nAs a senior individual contributor, you will operate at the intersection of platform architecture, AI systems engineering, and business transformation. You will influence technical strategy across teams, design reusable AI capabilities, and establish engineering standards for building reliable, secure, and scalable AI-powered systems.\nYour impact will come through technical leadership, architectural ownership, hands-on implementation, and your ability to translate complex business challenges into intelligent software solutions that deliver measurable outcomes.\nYour Area of Focus\nIdentify and implement practical opportunities to embed AI into backend services and business workflows where it can improve efficiency, accuracy, or decision support.\nDesign and build production-ready AI-enabled services that combine application logic, APIs, and AI models to support real customer and operational use cases.\nIntegrate LLMs, ML models, and external AI services into existing systems using strong engineering patterns for reliability, observability, and maintainability.\nBuild workflows that use AI in a bounded, auditable way, with clear fallback behavior, evaluation, and human review where appropriate.\nPartner with product, design, data, and operational teams to turn workflow pain points into scalable software solutions with measurable impact.\nLead Software Development: Design, develop, test, and deploy scalable and maintainable software applications using Spring Boot, Java, React, and cloud technologies.\nArchitect and Design: Collaborate with product managers, designers, and cross-functional teams to architect robust and scalable solutions that meet business requirements. Provide input into the technical direction of the team and product.\nCloud Technology Expertise: Leverage experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.) to design cloud-native applications. Ensure that applications are optimized for scalability, reliability, and cost-efficiency in a cloud environment.\nCode Reviews & Mentorship: Conduct thorough code reviews, ensuring that the team adheres to best practices for clean, maintainable, and efficient code. Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.\nCollaboration and Communication: Work closely with product and design teams to define requirements, deliver timely solutions, and provide technical expertise throughout the product lifecycle.\nPerformance and Optimization: Monitor and optimize the performance of applications. Identify bottlenecks and implement performance improvements across both frontend (React) and backend (Java/Spring Boot) layers.\nAgile Development: Participate in Agile development processes, including sprint planning, daily standups, retrospectives, and backlog grooming. Contribute to defining and prioritizing work within the team.\nStay Current: Continuously research and apply emerging technologies and industry best practices to improve the development process and product quality.\nYour Professional Qualifications\nExperience & Seniority: 8+ years of professional software engineering experience building scalable distributed systems, with a track record of driving technical direction and architecture decisions without formal authority.\nCore Technical Stack: Absolute mastery of Java, Spring Boot, and Python for developing secure, high-throughput, cloud-native backend systems (AWS, Azure, or GCP).\nProduction AI Experience: 2-3+ years of hands-on experience designing, shipping, and maintaining production AI-enabled or AI-native applications (combining LLMs, core application logic, and business workflows).\nAI Orchestration & Architecture: Practical experience with orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, CrewAI) and a deep understanding of RAG, tool calling, prompt engineering, context/state management, and human-in-the-loop patterns.\nSystems Infrastructure & Data: Strong background in distributed systems, event-driven architectures, asynchronous processing, and messaging platforms (e.g., Kafka).\nProduction Safeguards & MLOps: Proven experience implementing enterprise AI guardrails, including real-time observability, latency/cost monitoring, automated evaluation pipelines, and robust fallback mechanisms.\nCollaboration: Impact-driven mindset with excellent cross-functional communication skills to bridge Engineering, Product, Design, and Operations.\nAdvanced Agentic AI: Experience building autonomous, multi-step agentic systems utilizing multi-tier memory networks and recursive reasoning preferred.\nDomain Expertise: Prior background in Healthcare IT, Revenue Cycle Management (RCM), billing, claims processing, fintech, or similarly regulated, high-compliance transaction environments preferred.\nDeep Data Retrieval: Hands-on experience with vector databases, semantic search architectures, and enterprise knowledge graph construction preferred.\nAdvanced ML Tooling: Exposure to PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers, custom embedding models, fine-tuning methodologies, or model serving optimization.\nLeadership Pedigree: Past experience serving as a Founding Engineer, Principal Architect, or early-stage platform lead driving organization-wide AI/ML adoption frameworks preferred.\n(For Recruiter use only) #LI-SS1 #LI-Remote\nWe are dedicated to attracting and retaining top talent with competitive and fair compensation.
