In this Role You Will
Lead AI/ML projects end-to-end, taking ownership from initial ideation and requirements gathering through architecture, development, deployment, and ongoing optimization
Make high-level architectural and technical decisions for AI/ML systems, balancing scalability, performance, reliability, maintainability, and business impact
Design, build, and deploy AI-powered and LLM-driven features for our claim synthesis product, including robust extraction of key information from complex medical documents and human-in-the-loop summarization workflows
Develop and implement hybrid machine learning solutions that leverage statistical models, LLMs, and embeddings-based retrieval techniques such as RAG to improve system accuracy, scalability, and robustness
Write clean, scalable, and efficient code while optimizing the performance of existing AI/ML systems in production
Collaborate closely with data labelers and subject matter experts (SMEs) to rigorously evaluate AI system outputs and continuously improve model performance
Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and other cross-functional teams to gather requirements, define technical approaches, prioritize work, and rapidly iterate on feedback
Provide technical leadership and guidance to other engineers, helping establish best practices and driving consistency across AI/ML solutions
Break down complex, ambiguous problems into well-defined technical solutions and drive projects forward while balancing short-term delivery with long-term architectural considerations
Translate cutting-edge AI/ML research and novel techniques into production-grade, reliable, and maintainable solutions that operate seamlessly in live customer environments
Skills Requirements
5-8+ years of experience writing performant Python code following modern best practices
Minimum 1 year of experience building and deploying products powered by large language models (LLMs) in fast-paced, professional environments
Proven experience leading technical projects and driving them from concept through production deployment
Experience making architectural decisions for AI/ML systems and evaluating technical tradeoffs across scalability, reliability, performance, and maintainability
Hands-on experience with statistical machine learning techniques as well as hybrid approaches combining LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and embeddings-based models, including vector search and similarity measures
Proven ability to build and integrate API services within service-oriented or microservice architectures
Strong skills in evaluating and interpreting LLM outputs and AI model predictions, with a focus on aligning model behavior with real-world business and user outcomes
Expertise in prompt engineering and fine-tuning of large language models for domain-specific applications
Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence technical direction and work effectively with Product, Engineering, SMEs, and other stakeholders
Bonus Points
Experience translating state-of-the-art AI/ML research into production code
Comfortable collaborating with data labelers and subject matter experts to improve training data and evaluation processes
Experience building agentic or autonomous AI systems in production
Background working with multimodal data (e.g., images, audio)
Experience mentoring engineers or providing technical leadership across projects or teams
