Our innovations help treat patients suffering from disorders of, or injuries to, bones, joints or supporting soft tissues. It is our mission to alleviate pain and improve the quality of life for people around the world: a patient’s mobility is enhanced by a Zimmer Biomet product or technology every 8 seconds. As part of that mission, we are committed to the highest standards in patient safety, quality and integrity.\nWithin our Connected Health product group, we have set a new standard for digital health with our mymobility and ZBEdgeAnalytics platforms, which underpin a suite of digital healthcare products that transform Orthopaedic care for patients and clinicians alike.\nWhat You Can Expect\nWe're looking for an AI Engineer to join our Connected Health team at Zimmer Biomet. This is a fully remote, UK-based job. You'll design, build, deploy and improve generative AI and data-driven products that raise the quality of care and quality of life for orthopaedic patients worldwide.\nYou'll join our AI & Data Science team, which works across three areas:\nProduct development: We develop prediction and decision-support algorithms, using classical ML and generative AI, for our patient- and clinician-facing applications.\nProduct analysis: We help our product teams understand how people use our products, so they can make better decisions.\nPlatform development: We build tooling and reusable infrastructure that supports AI and data-driven product development across Zimmer Biomet. We design it to follow best practice for Software as a Medical Device (SaMD).\nWe aim to keep improving, to communicate openly, and to enjoy ourselves along the way.\nHow You'll Create Impact\nIn this role you will work closely with machine learning scientists and application software engineers to bring advanced data insights to life. You'll build automation pipelines, deploy and serve both predictive models and generative AI systems, integrate third-party platforms and tooling, and design for observability and monitoring in production, whilst ensuring that we meet our regulatory commitments.\nOur work covers classical ML on structured, sensor and imaging data, and generative AI: retrieval-augmented generation and agentic systems. Because we build medical devices in a regulated context, quality, traceability and responsible AI matter at every step. You'll help us productionise these systems against standards including the EU AI Act and FDA guidance on AI/ML-enabled medical devices.\nYou'll help shape our technical roadmap and influence how the Connected Health team moves forward with AI products.\nToday, our tooling revolves around:\nAzure ML and Azure DevOps for model orchestration, CI/CD and development; \nPython for data pipelines, machine learning pipelines and model serving; \nMLflow (or similar) for experiment tracking and model registry, with monitoring for drift and performance in production; \nLLM/GenAI tooling including foundation-model APIs, vector stores/retrieval, orchestration frameworks and evaluation harnesses; \nPulumi for infrastructure as code; \nOccasionally C# to support integration between our internal systems. \nWe also use modern developer tooling. Responsible use of AI coding assistants like Claude Code is part of how we work day-to-day.\nWhat Makes You Stand Out\nA passion for building generative AI and data-driven products to improve healthcare;\nThe idea of shaping AI products excites you, and you’re comfortable working where requirements are still evolving; \nYour background covers the majority of the end-to-end lifecycle of a AI/ML product, from containerisation, CI/CD, infrastructure deployment to debugging and monitoring models in production; \nHands-on experience with either classical ML or generative AI in production, and have a genuine interest in the other; \nThe ability to build cloud-native applications and are comfortable with infrastructure as code; \nYou can communicate analyses and technical ideas, and their value, to a range of audiences; \nA drive to learn about new technologies and methodologies; \nIf you don't meet every requirement but are excited by this role, we'd still like to hear from you!\nYour Background\nA demonstrable background within healthcare data and/or delivering AI/ML in regulated spaces (SaMD, EU AI Act, FDA);\nPrior knowledge of evaluating and guard-railing generative AI systems \nExperience with model monitoring, drift detection and responsible-AI practices (fairness, robustness, explainability).\nIndustry experience as a Machine Learning, AI or Data Engineer;\nComfortable programming with Python and packages associated with the AI/ML workflow; \nTravel & Logistic Expectations\nThis is a fully remote, UK-based role, and we actively support flexible working. We actively encourage team members to meet up and collaborate in person. Some of our colleagues are based in the U.S., so there will occasionally be a need to be available for evening meetings.\nTo support our team members, we focus on development opportunities, Employee Resource Groups, a flexible working environment, location-specific competitive rewards, wellness incentives and a culture of recognition. We are committed to creating an environment where every team member feels included, respected, empowered and recognised.\nEOE/M/F/Vet/Disability","description_format":"text","description_chars":5377,"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":["Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Surgical Instruments & Devices","Orthopedic & Spine Implants"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-13T12:18:48Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-13T15:03:02Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/zimmer-biomet-ai-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/zimmer-biomet-ai-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-13T15:03:02Z","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":30251,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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":9247},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=9247"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fzimmer-biomet-ai-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"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%2Fzimmer-biomet-ai-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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%2Fzimmer-biomet-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/zimmer-biomet-ai-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fzimmer-biomet-ai-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4243670}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"zimmerbiomet.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4243670},"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.
