The Role
The Generative AI Engineer will develop AI-driven features for medical records, collaborating with teams to create systems extracting and generating clinical insights from EHR data, while ensuring accuracy and clinical relevance.
Summary Generated by Built In
As a Generative AI Engineer at Regard, you’ll work across the full lifecycle of developing and deploying AI-driven features, from ideation and design to prototyping, implementation, evaluation, and iteration. You’ll collaborate closely with product and clinical teams to build systems that transform medical records into structured insights and clinician-ready documentation.
Your work will center on applying modern LLMs to extract, summarize, normalize, and generate clinical information from diverse electronic health record (EHR) data sources. This includes developing robust pipelines, running model and prompt-engineering experiments, integrating models into production services, and ensuring outputs remain factual, safe, and clinically aligned.
You’ll directly contribute to high-priority product initiatives, shape new AI capabilities, and advance our LLM platform. Your work will have a tangible impact on how clinicians understand patient data and how healthcare organizations improve care quality.
About Regard
Our mission is to bring world-class healthcare to everyone. Regard is an AI-powered Proactive Documentation platform that advances how care is delivered by reviewing all patient data in the EHR to recommend diagnoses and surface clinical evidence. Regard drafts a note even before the physician sees the patient, enabling an approach that gets documentation right at the point of care - we call it Proactive Documentation. This improves quality of care, reduces physician burden, and improves hospital finances. We are excited by challenges, mission-oriented work, and meaningful relationships. We work closely with some of the top health systems in the country and are leading the change that healthcare - one of the largest and most inefficient industries in the world - needs. We want you to join us.
