Amigo builds trust and safety infrastructure for AI in mission-critical environments.
We partner with organizations in healthcare and other regulated sectors to deploy AI systems that operate reliably when the stakes are highest. Our infrastructure enables verification, monitoring, and real-time oversight—ensuring AI serves people safely at scale.
We've raised $6.5M from General Catalyst and GSV Ventures. Our team combines expertise in distributed systems, quantitative research, clinical operations, and regulatory environments to build AI that organizations can trust.
About this roleAs an Applied Scientist - Human-Centric Modeling at Amigo, you'll develop models that capture the complex dynamics of human behavior in healthcare contexts. You'll design systems that model patient-provider interactions, population-level health behaviors, and the human factors that influence healthcare outcomes. Your work enables our AI systems to optimize around human-centric problems by understanding and predicting human behavior patterns in clinical settings.

What We Do
Amigo AI builds trust and safety infrastructure for clinical agents—ensuring AI systems in healthcare provide quantified confidence when mistakes aren't an option. Our platform combines advanced simulation, verification, and recursive optimization to enable healthcare organizations to deploy AI with statistical guarantees about its behavior.
We solve the fundamental challenge of reliable AI in critical domains through deterministic verification for clinical protocols and continuous drift detection for real-world performance. Our systems provide complete transparency—every AI decision is traceable and auditable, with quantified confidence intervals rather than black box predictions.
Founded by technologists from Google, Meta AI, Databricks, Coda, and Plaid, we've built systems that let organizations make informed risk decisions about AI deployment in healthcare. Our interdisciplinary approach draws from computer science, economics, physics, and mathematics to tackle human-centric optimization problems where people and populations are at the center of every solution.
We're actively working with healthcare organizations across digital health, cancer care, cardiac care, and personalized medicine to deploy AI systems that continuously learn and adapt from real-world feedback while maintaining verified safety boundaries. Our technology amplifies human expertise rather than replacing it, empowering domain experts to achieve outcomes neither could accomplish alone.
Why Work With Us
We build AI healthcare systems where 99% isn't good enough. Rapid growth—promotions in 3 months. Freedom to work your way: art museums or late nights. Tackle recursive optimization problems that ship to production. Your work directly impacts critical healthcare decisions. Diverse team from Google, Meta AI, Databricks solving problems that matter.
