Senior Software Engineer (AI Engineering)

The Future of Healthcare Needs You

At Suki, we’re building technology that listens, understands, and gets out of the way — so clinicians can get back to being clinicians. Our flagship product, Suki Assistant, uses cutting-edge AI to automate clinical documentation in real time, reducing the time it takes to complete notes by 72%. But that’s just the beginning.

We’re now powering the next wave of voice-enabled healthcare experiences across telehealth platforms, care delivery tools, and specialty EMRs — through Suki Platform, our proprietary AI infrastructure.

Clinicians using Suki spend over 70% less time on admin. Our customers see a 9X ROI in year one. And we’re just getting started. Suki is reimagining the healthcare technology stack to make the lives of clinicians better. Our tech stack includes GCP, Kubernetes, Vertex AI, Golang, Python, C++, PyTorch, JAX, Transformers, GPT, LLAMA, MoE, gRPC, Javascript.

What We’re Trying to Do (And Why We Need You)

We’re not here to tweak healthcare around the edges — we’re rearchitecting it.

Requirements:*

• 5+ years experience in a software engineering role focused on application backend services.  Recent experience building and maintaining ML/AI driven applications.
• Strong working knowledge of LLMs, including prompting, orchestration, RAG, context and cost management.
• Intimate knowledge of Go, Java, or Python and the ability to add and modify functionality to improve current integration capabilities.
• Experience with scaled distributed systems using microservices,protobufs and gRPC.
• Containerization and scaling services using docker and kubernetes.
• Experience taking product technical design from inception to production
• Strong grasp of CS fundamentals including algorithms, data structures and design
• Experience with health systems and EHRs are a plus

*Requirements is such a strong word. We don’t necessarily expect to find a candidate that has done everything we’ve listed, but you should be able to make a credible case that you’ve done most of it and are ready for the challenge of adding some new things to your resume.
