AI Engineer (Applied Scientist) III

Cedar is a leading healthcare technology company focused on improving the healthcare financial experience. They are seeking an AI Engineer (Applied Scientist) III to build and optimize product features powered by generative AI, aiming to enhance bill clarity for patients and streamline workflows for healthcare systems across the US.

Responsibilities:

• Dive into unstructured data with finesse and rigor, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches to solve complex problems. This data can include call transcripts, patient account details, and more
• Design robust experiment plans that allow you to rapidly test hypotheses and solve problems that will lead to an improved patient experience (and execute these plans!)
• Build and enhance features for our AI Voice Agent, Kora – utilizing your skillset in production-level coding as well as prompt and context engineering
• Measure and track the impact of the new features and enhancements that you build, displaying a strong ownership mentality as you continue to iterate on Kora based on your results and findings
• Partner closely with other scientists, engineers, designers, and product counterparts to solve problems as a team
• Work in a fast-paced environment where we cheer each other on as we find small ways to make the patient experience a little bit better every day, while we work towards our ultimate goal to transform the healthcare financial experience

Requirements:

• 3 or more years of full-time experience working in a structured product development environment on a product that had frequent releases (i.e., regular updates with enhancements, bug fixes, and new features)
• Experience collaborating with partners from different job functions, and the ability to translate business requirements into technical builds
• A strong understanding of both the scientific method and software engineering principles, with a proven ability to balance experimental rigor and rapid production deployment
• Experience with modern programming languages (in this role, you'll use both Python and Typescript)
• Ability to thrive in an entrepreneurial environment, showing a tendency toward speed and action while achieving clarity from ambiguity
• A passion not only for AI, but also in the application of AI to solve real problems for real users. If you are a match for this role, you'll feel comfortable diving deep into the data to figure out the best way to solve a particular user problem, presenting your findings, incorporating updates based on feedback, and implementing your solution in code. Ultimately doing all of this to make a tangible difference for users
• You are excited by the opportunity to use your combined skillset in data science and AI engineering to make a true impact on patient lives
