- Prototype and ship new AI management solutions in both technological (pre-evaluation, post-evaluation, LLM monitoring, agent monitoring) and healthcare (bias, governance, compliance, performance, ROI, etc.) verticals.
- Break down ambiguous, high-level problems into concrete technical solutions and engineering plans.
- Work autonomously and collaboratively with Product, ML, Security, Infrastructure and other engineering teams.
Qualifications:
- 5+ years of experience in building backend systems and AI applications.
- You can design and defend architecture decisions with privacy and security considerations built into your thinking.

Preferred Qualifications:
- Hands-on experience with Java, Spring Boot, Python, Postgres, Azure, and Kubernetes.
- Experience in startup or early-stage environments, including building and shipping products from 0 to 1.
