- 1+ years of experience working in a real clinical environment (clinical rotations are OK)
- Proficient in Python and JavaScript
- Intermediate software engineering skills (i.e. not just Claude Code) - strong experience with Github, CI/CD, AWS
- Familiar with best practices around RLEs, benchmarks, evals, and post-training
- Understanding of healthcare data standards (e.g., EHR data structures, interoperability, HIPAA considerations)
- Strong interest in AI and machine learning applications
- Experience with clinical workflow analysis, quality improvement initiatives, or digital health product development
Why Us
If you join our team, you will be joining a team with...
- Founding-level impact and ownership
- An opportunity to advance AI research in one of its most meaningful application areas
- Competitive compensation and meaningful equity
- Unlimited PTO
