Quick Facts
- Role: Sr Principal AI/ML Product Engineer (Full Stack)
- Focus: Hands-on end-to-end AI-enabled product engineering, including integrations and AI agents
Description
Build, test, deploy, evaluate, and operate production AI-enabled products end to end—from backend services and data pipelines to the interfaces care teams and patients use. Own deployment practices (infrastructure as code, CI/CD, environments, safe release practices), EHR integrations (FHIR/HL7 and vendor APIs), and AI agents/LLM features (prompt/tool design, retrieval, guardrails). Set engineering standards as a senior individual contributor: ship reliably, define “done” with evidence, and document architecture and decisions so others can run what you build.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, test, and deploy production software end to end
- Own cloud deployment practices (infrastructure as code, CI/CD, environments, release practices safe for patient care)
- Build EHR and care-system integrations including Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, and home care platforms using FHIR, HL7, and vendor APIs
- Build AI agents and LLM features across channels such as SMS and voice; implement prompt/tool design, retrieval, and guardrails
- Prototype quickly against real systems, then take working prototypes to production
- Build shared foundations with other engineering teams (integrations, deployment pipeline, evaluation harness)
- Embed evaluation into the product lifecycle: automated evaluations, behavior tests, and monitoring for drift
- Operate what you ship: instrumentation, alerting, incident response, and continuous improvement after launch
- Define “done” as proven with evidence; report what did not work promptly
- Partner with stakeholders (technology, data, security, legal, privacy, compliance, care teams) to deliver responsible, secure, enterprise-ready products
- Protect patient data by design using data minimization, access control, and audit
- Write documentation, tests, and runbooks so other teams can run the system without you
- Set engineering practices (code review, AI-assisted development, evaluation standards)
- Decide which technical decisions belong to a single market vs. the enterprise platform
- Capture weekly learnings and turn them into decisions
- Raise AI fluency of market teams via shared templates, evaluation bars, and supported ways to ship safely
- Own technical architecture and expensive-to-reverse decisions; document them
Benefits
- Comprehensive benefits package
- Incentive and recognition programs
- Equity stock purchase
- 401(k) contribution
- Salary range: $184,600–$316,500 annually (based on factors including location, education, work experience, and certifications); benefits subject to eligibility
Required Qualifications
- 10+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping and operating production systems
- Healthcare industry and/or large complex matrixed organization experience
- Full-stack experience across backend services, APIs, data stores, plus enough front-end or mobile to ship complete products
- Experience building and shipping LLM applications or agents to real users, including evaluation approach
- Ability to use AI coding/agent tools daily; built and ran an agent/automation/LLM tool
- Solid testing and operational discipline: automated tests, CI, observability, and on-call ownership
- Experience with owned cloud infrastructure and deployment: infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and enterprise security controls
- Ability to work at both enterprise and single-market levels and determine where decisions belong
- Clear technical writing skills for design decisions and findings
- Working proficiency in GitHub, AI coding/agent tools, cloud platforms, and infrastructure as code
- Senior hands-on individual contributor with end-to-end ownership
- Technical ownership experience for systems/architectures built by others
Preferred Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science/Engineering or related field (or equivalent experience)
- Healthcare data integration experience (FHIR, HL7, SMART on FHIR, or Epic/athenahealth/eClinicalWorks APIs)
- Experience with HIPAA-regulated systems handling protected health information
- Experience with LLM evaluation frameworks, including building evaluation sets with domain experts
- Production experience with voice or SMS agents
- Experience taking AI capabilities through enterprise governance/review in healthcare
- Experience on small early-stage teams where engineers owned the whole stack
