An employee here can refer you. The referrer stays anonymous and reaches out to you directly if interested.
You will build and test AI agents and workflows that support human experts rather than replace their judgment. This is a hands-on role. You will prototype quickly, learn from experienced colleagues, and grow into owning larger parts of our solutions.
Build and test AI applications that use large language models (LLMs), prompt design, and retrieval-based approaches.
Write clean, well-documented Python code for AI workflows, including connections to other systems through APIs.
Help build AI agents and multi-step workflows that use tools and follow decision paths.
Test model outputs for accuracy, consistency, and clarity, and report issues with clear notes.
Prepare and work with healthcare data such as policies, claims, and clinical content for AI use.
Handle sensitive health data (personal and health information) carefully, following company and client privacy rules.
Work with product owners, clinical experts, and senior engineers to turn business needs into working solutions.
Document experiments, designs, and results so others can reuse them.
