Responsibilities
Excel at decomposing complex clinical workflows into discrete, reasoning-based AI agents, organizing the architectural strategies needed to implement them
Define the root business problems and use that knowledge to design integrated AI solutions (e.g., ambient listening for documentation or automated waitlist management) across multiple applications
Work with the company’s architecture team to ensure AI agents are built on shared services and systems, reducing waste and maintaining a cohesive software ecosystem
Set goals around emerging AI standards and agentic frameworks to keep the business competitive in the rapidly evolving AI-native EMR market
Partner with internal Data Scientists and third-party AI engineers to drive project execution, serving as the technical anchor for the team during the staff augmentation phase and beyond
Apply agile and lean principles to AI development, timeboxing experiments and focusing on delivering immediate clinical value through iterative agent refinement
Work with stakeholders outside of engineering to align AI capabilities with Product and UX goals, ensuring agents are streamlined and intuitive for healthcare providers
Maintain strong documentation practices to evangelize new AI development patterns and gain adoption of agentic practices across the department
Qualification
Required
Education & Experience: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, AI/ML, or a related technical field, with 10+ years of professional engineering experience, including significant time spent in a Principal Engineer or Lead Architect capacity
Agentic AI Architecture: Deep technical proficiency in designing multi-agent orchestration systems. You must have hands-on experience with frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI) and a sophisticated understanding of agentic patterns like planning, tool-use, and self-reflection
Hybrid Team Leadership: Proven ability to provide technical 'anchor' leadership in a hybrid environment, effectively directing the work of third-party staff augmentation while maintaining absolute ownership of the internal quality and architectural standards
System Decomposition & Modeling: Expert-level ability to take a messy clinical workflow (like a PT initial evaluation) and decompose it into a structured data model and a sequence of AI-driven reasoning steps
Strategic Problem Solving: A track record of 'Deep Dives' into complex business domains, translating nebulous clinical needs into precise technical requirements that align with a broader Reference Architecture
Engineering Rigor in AI: Experience moving AI from 'prototype/notebook' to 'production-grade,' including implementing evaluation frameworks (LLM-as-a-judge), monitoring for agent drift, and ensuring deterministic outcomes in non-deterministic systems
Preferred
Healthcare Domain Knowledge: Familiarity with clinical documentation standards, HIPAA compliance, and the nuances of EMR data sets
Vector Database Experience: High-level understanding of retrieval strategies (RAG) to support agentic reasoning and long-term memory
Team Transition Experience: Previous experience leading a hybrid team of internal and external resources, with the ability to take full ownership of the technology stack post-vendor disengagement
