About the role
- Build AI-native product features end-to-end, from UX to backend systems, using TypeScript across the stack.
- Design and implement LLM-powered workflows (e.g., chat interfaces, decision support tools, automation flows) that are reliable, observable, and safe for healthcare use.
- Integrate with EHRs and third parties via APIs, webhooks, and data pipelines, ensuring data consistency, correctness, and compliance.
- Develop and orchestrate AI workflows using modern tooling (e.g., LangFuse, LangChain/LangGraph, n8n, Flowise or similar), with a focus on quality, flexibility, and iterative improvements.
- Implement guardrails, fallbacks, and evaluation strategies to ensure AI features behave predictably and safely in production.
- Solve complex debugging, testability, and deployability challenges with a pragmatic, systems-oriented mindset.
- Shape the technical roadmap for AI-powered capabilities in partnership with product, data, and design teams.
- Raise the bar for engineering quality through code reviews, documentation, and mentorship.
Requirements
- 9+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, including ownership of complex production systems.
- Strong experience building applications end-to-end with TypeScript, React, and Node.js.
- Demonstrated experience or strong interest in shipping user-facing AI or LLM-powered features into a product (e.g., chat experiences, RAG pipelines, intelligent workflows, decision support).
- Prior experience with creating and improving LLM-assisted coding toolchains.
- Familiarity with modern LLM application patterns, such as prompt orchestration, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), model evaluation, and observability.
- Experience integrating AI systems into real-world constraints: reliability, security, cost, latency, and UX.
