The role involves designing and building enterprise AI platform capabilities that empower engineering and healthcare teams to develop, deploy, and operate AI-powered applications at scale.

Expectations For The Role

• Design and build full-stack platform capabilities — spanning backend services, APIs, and front-end interfaces — that enable engineering and healthcare teams to develop, deploy, and operate AI-powered applications at scale
• Implement cloud-native, microservices-based infrastructure supporting workflow orchestration, multi-provider LLM integration, and automated deployment pipelines on GCP, AWS, or equivalent platforms
• Develop and maintain platform observability, reliability, and security foundations including distributed tracing, role-based access control (RBAC), secrets management, and compliance-aligned production readiness standards
• Contribute to technical direction, participate in architecture reviews, mentor peers on engineering best practices, and collaborate with product and business stakeholders to deliver against the company's AI transformation roadmap

• 3+ years of front-end development using React or comparable modern UI frameworks, with demonstrated ability to build responsive, component-driven UIs and establish effective engineering practices
• 3+ years of experience with relational and non-relational databases — including SQL, NoSQL, schema/table design, and data modeling
• 3+ years working within Agile delivery models (Scrum, Kanban, or equivalent)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with agentic AI frameworks and orchestration tools (LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI, or similar) for building multi-agent systems and workflow automation; familiarity with managed AI/ML cloud services and analytics platforms is a plus
• Proven ability to design and operate large-scale distributed systems with strong observability practices, multi-tenant architecture patterns, and role-based access control
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with a track record of mentoring engineers, driving code quality through reviews and automated testing, and delivering in Agile/Scrum environments
• Healthcare domain knowledge or prior experience building healthcare or regulated-industry technology solutions
