About the role
We're looking for a highly skilled Senior Product Engineer who is excited about building in an AI native, agentic world. This is not a traditional frontend or backend role! It’s for engineers who:
- use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) as a force multiplier,
- think in terms of systems, workflows, and agents, not just endpoints and screens,
- can turn ambiguous product problems into working, production-ready solutions,
- want to help evolve our platform toward an agent-driven future in healthcare.
What You’ll Do
- Build AI Native Systems
- Design, implement, and operate backend and fullstack systems that incorporate LLMs, tools, and agents as core components;
- Build agentic workflows (multi-step, tool using, stateful systems) that solve real product and operational problems;
- Integrate LLMs safely and reliably into production systems, with attention to observability, cost, and failure modes.
Engineer with AI as a Partner
- Use modern AI coding tools (e.g. Claude Code/Codex/Pi/Cursor) to accelerate development, refactoring, and exploration;
- Set patterns and standards for how AI is used in day to day engineering work;
- Help the team move faster without sacrificing quality or clarity.
Product Driven Engineering
- Collaborate closely with Product Management, Design, and other stakeholders to shape solutions, not just implement specs;
- Translate high level goals into technical architecture and execution plans;
- Contribute to roadmap discussions with a strong systems and platform perspective.
Own the System End to End
- Design APIs, services, and data models (primarily backend leaning);
- Ensure reliability, security, privacy, and scalability in a regulated healthcare context;
- Operate and observe the system’s behaviour in the real world;
- Improve developer experience and internal tooling where it unlocks leverage.
What You’ll Need
- Required: 7+ years of experience as a Software Engineer, with strong knowledge of major parts of our tech stack (AWS, Java, Typescript)
- Strong experience in building with LLMs in production, not just prototypes
- Clear enthusiasm for the capabilities and opportunities of AI and agentic systems
- Strong system design skills and comfort working in ambiguous problem spaces
- Ability to communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders
Strong Plus
- Experience designing, building, and operating long running workflows, background jobs, or distributed systems
- Familiarity with healthcare, regulated products, or safety critical systems
- Startup or fast moving product environment experience
What We Care About (Beyond The Resume)
- You’re curious and opinionated about where software development is going
- You ship and you iterate based on real world feedback
- You don’t wait for perfect specs; you help create them!
- You see AI as a new abstraction layer, not a gimmick
