AI Engineering Lead

About the Role

This is a hands-on engineering role at a company transitioning from a strong AI-assisted product to a fully agentic one. You'll architect and build the systems that power Beni's next generation: multi-modal patient communication (voice, SMS, structured data), intelligent care coordination workflows, and the integrations that connect our platform to the clinical data that makes it useful.

What You'll Own

• Architecture and implementation of Beni's agentic AI systems: orchestration, memory, tool use, multi-step reasoning
• The multi-modal communication layer, including our voice AI pipeline and asynchronous outreach channels
• EMR integration work, connecting Beni's intelligence to the clinical data that lives in practice systems (FHIR, HL7 and other applicable frameworks)
• Production reliability for AI outputs in a clinical context: evaluation frameworks, monitoring, and graceful failure handling
• Backend infrastructure that is scalable and provides the highest level of privacy and security
• Closed AI native collaboration with the product team leveraging emerging technologies and workflows to accelerate shipping and deployment

Who We're Looking For

• Deep hands-on experience building AI systems in production: LLMs, RAG, agentic orchestration, voice AI, or some combination
• Strong backend fundamentals: APIs, async systems, data pipelines, compliant infrastructure
• Real experience with or genuine interest in working with healthcare data and EMR integrations
• Working in the cutting edge of AI using emerging tools and frameworks to improve and accelerate your daily work and collaboration with the team
• Exceptional verbal and written communication
• Proactive attitude and strong self-direction focusing on progress over process

The Opportunity

We're putting agentic AI to a real test. We have live patients, live practices, and a tight feedback loop between what we build and what actually happens in care. You'll be building an agent layer designed from the ground up to support continuous care between visits. This is an opportunity to create measurable impact in a high stakes environment.

This role is open to US-based applicants. Compensation includes early-stage equity. We're a small team building infrastructure for a problem that matters.
