Staff AI Engineer

Role Overview

• Lead the design and evolution of agentic systems that participate directly in care delivery, helping coordinate care, engage patients, and execute meaningful portions of care workflows.
• Define and build architectural patterns for agent reasoning, tool use, memory, and human-in-the-loop collaboration.
• Develop both reusable platform capabilities and product-facing implementations, balancing long-term architecture with rapid iteration.
• Own complex problem spaces end-to-end — from system design and implementation through observability, evaluation, and continuous improvement in production.
• Partner closely with product managers, operators, and domain experts to translate complex real-world processes into reliable agent behavior.
• Establish standards and best practices for agent evaluation, safety, and operational reliability as these systems evolve toward greater autonomy
• Mentor engineers and influence technical direction across teams building agent-driven capabilities.

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience building and shipping production software systems, including experience operating at a Staff or Principal IC level and driving technical direction across complex systems
• Proven experience building and scaling multi-agent or agent-driven systems in production and real-world operational ownership (beyond simple chat or LLM workflows).
• Hands-on experience with modern agent ecosystems, including frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, Mastra, Claude Agents SDK), observability/evals tooling (e.g., Langfuse, LangSmith, Braintrust), MCP implementations, and leading AI SDKs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic).
• Strong systems and backend architecture fundamentals, with experience designing scalable, reliable systems and handling infrastructure, performance, failure modes, cost, and deployment concerns.
• Clear agentic evaluation mindset, including automated evals, simulation-based testing, regression frameworks, metrics design, and continuous improvement loops. Firsthand experience addressing performance and reliability of scaled agentic systems.
• AI-native builder with high velocity and ownership, demonstrating intellectual curiosity, rapid adoption of new tools, bias to action, and the ability to drive ambiguous problems from concept to production.
• Strong cross-functional collaborator and communicator, able to partner with Product, Operations, and domain experts to deliver end-to-end systems with measurable real-world impact.
• Force-multiplier technical leader, raising the bar for clarity of thinking, system design standards, and team execution.
