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 a Simulation Systems Research Engineer at Amigo, you'll build the high-fidelity simulation infrastructure that enables our AI systems to provide statistical confidence in healthcare decisions. You'll design and implement systems that model complex healthcare environments, patient interactions, and deployment contexts under compute constraints. Your work directly enables the translation of simulated performance to real-world outcomes, forming the foundation of our approach to reliable AI in critical domains.

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
