Responsibilities
Eval & Release Infrastructure — Automated graders and release gates that work across product pods. Unified eval dataset versioning and execution to replace fragmented workflows. Production quality monitoring with end-to-end tracing, shared metrics, and automated alerting
Debug Tooling — Encounter replay that reconstructs exact inference inputs (retrieved chart context, packed prompts, model versions) so teams reproduce issues without digging through logs. Diff views comparing known-good runs to regressions
Chart Context & Data Pipelines — The retrieval layer that pulls relevant patient history and assembles it into consistent model-ready inputs. Feedback loops that capture real-world usage and convert it into training signal. End-to-end latency instrumentation across every workflow step
Preference Infrastructure — The system that enables clinician and site-specific behavior across specialties. Different clinics want different defaults, different phrasing, different workflows. You'll build the platform that supports customization at scale
Model Serving — Performance and reliability layer for critical in-house models with clear SLOs, capacity planning, and regression alerts
