About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Ship zero-to-one AI products end-to-end — from customer discovery and prototyping through production deployment and iteration.
Build agentic AI systems — design and implement autonomous and semi-autonomous workflows using LLMs, tool-use, memory, and orchestration.
Develop AI tools that improve efficiency across clinical operations, data extraction, manual workflows, and more.
Commercialize AI research — partner with the AI lab to take proprietary models from research prototypes and into production.
Contribute to model training and post-training — fine-tuning, evaluation, safety testing, and optimization of Natera's proprietary oncology models.

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years focused on AI/ML or LLM-powered products in production.
Demonstrated ability to ship end-to-end — you've taken AI features or products from idea to production, ideally in a zero-to-one context.
Strong full-stack engineering skills — proficiency in Python and modern web frameworks; you can build both the model pipeline and the user-facing product.
Production experience with LLMs — fine-tuning, RAG, prompt engineering, agentic architectures, structured extraction, evaluation, and observability.
High agency and autonomy — you don't wait for permission, detailed specs, or hand-holding. You unblock yourself, seek out the highest-impact work, and drive it to completion.
Excellent communication — you can translate complex AI concepts for clinical and business stakeholders, and articulate a vision for what you're building and why.
