About the role

  • You'll set the technical direction for a problem area and pull other engineers along with you.

Responsibilities

  • Drive vague business problems to closure.
  • Sit with clinical leads, product, and ops to understand what's actually broken, where the money is, and what "good" looks like.
  • Define the metric before you build the system.
  • Build the eval harness that produces it.
  • Own the architectural call and the tradeoffs behind it.
  • Other engineers - including senior ones - should be able to build against the foundation you set.
  • You've designed agent loops from scratch, decided between single-agent and multi-agent topologies, engineered context (system prompts, tool surfaces, structured outputs, citation grounding), and debugged failure modes that other engineers couldn't.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of applied ML / AI / software engineering experience with a Bachelor's in CS, Math, Engineering or equivalent - or 4+ years with a Master's / PhD in a similar program.
  • A track record of driving vague problems to closure.
  • You can point to initiatives where the brief was a paragraph, you scoped it, defined the metric, ran the work, and shipped a result that moved the business - not just a model or a PR.
  • you don't believe a number you can't reproduce
  • Hands-on experience with at least one major agent SDK - OpenAI Agents SDK, Anthropic SDK / claude-agent-sdk, LangGraph, or equivalent - with strong opinions on the tradeoffs and the scars to back them up.

Nice to have

  • Experience presenting technical results to executive or external (customer / regulator) audiences.
  • Strongly Preferred
