ABOUT ARTERA
Our Mission: Make healthcare #1 in customer service.
 
What We Deliver: Artera is an agentic company strengthening how healthcare providers communicate and care for patients. As an agentic partner, we bring over a decade of healthcare experience to address urgent workflows from day one and build custom solutions as healthcare providers' needs evolve. Trusted by 1,000+ specialties, FQHCs, health systems, and federal agencies, Artera strengthens and protects and enhances patient relationships across every interaction - from intake and scheduling to referral management, post-visit care, and more.

Hear from our CEO, Guillaume de Zwirek, about why we are standing at the edge of the biggest technological shift in healthcare's history!

Our award-winning culture: Our award-winning culture: Since founding in 2015, Artera has consistently been recognized for its innovative technology, business growth, and named a top place to work. Examples of these accolades include: Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024); Deloitte Technology Fast 500 (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025); Built In Best Companies to Work For (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026). Artera has also been recognized by Forbes as one of "America's Best Startup Employers," Newsweek as one of the "World's Best Digital Health Companies," and named one of the top "44 Startups to Bet your Career on in 2024" by Business Insider.
 
Applicants must be currently authorized and have the ability to provide proof of full-time, long-term authorization to work in the United States. We are unable to provide visa sponsorship or support visa transfers now or in the future.

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Artera is seeking an Agentic AI Solutions Engineer who can bring deep technical insight to the discovery process, guide solution optimization, and craft a technical vision that wins over complex healthcare organizations. You won't just be demoing features; you'll be architecting agentic AI workflows to prove how Artera can solve the industry's most persistent communication gaps.

In this role, you'll serve as a key technical advisor-collaborating closely with Sales, Customer Experience, and Product teams to conduct deep technical discovery, design highly scalable enterprise architectures, and drive pre-sales deal strategy. You'll help shape future-state customer workflows, dismantle complex integration challenges, and accelerate platform adoption by translating cutting-edge AI capabilities into real operational value for healthcare systems.

Responsibilities

  • Agentic Solutions Architecture: Architect and propose optimized solutions for healthcare workflows using Artera's AI suite, explaining how AI can safely reason, call tools, and interact with patients via voice and text.

    • Technical Discovery & Requirements Analysis: Conduct technical discovery sessions with prospects to evaluate system architecture, workflow needs, and data integration requirements.

    • RFP/RFI & Security Review Leadership: Author definitive, technical responses to RFPs, RFIs, and security questionnaires, demonstrating how Artera satisfies both functional and compliance requirements.

  • Strategic Product Demonstrations: Lead compelling, value-driven demonstrations of the Artera platform for prospective clients. Go beyond feature-clicking to tell a cohesive story of how our core software and AI capabilities seamlessly orchestrate patient communication, collapse operational overhead, and improve patient access metrics.

    • Technical Architecture & Deal Strategy: Serve as the technical authority during the pre-sales cycle, defining the ideal future-state architecture and ensuring seamless technical alignment between prospect ecosystems and Artera's platform.

    • Technical Continuity & Deployment Handoff: Act as the technical guide during the transition from sales to service rollout. Provide consultative, high-level oversight to Artera's post-sales delivery teams to guarantee the architectural integrity of the scoped AI workflows is preserved during implementation.
Requirements

  • Experience: 3+ years of relevant experience in solutions engineering or technical consulting.

  • Patient Access Domain Knowledge: Strong familiarity with healthcare operations. You understand the operational friction points surrounding centralized scheduling, patient intake/registration, and referral management, allowing you to speak the same language as healthcare operations leaders.

  • Technical Concept Comprehension: Translate complex AI/ML concepts (e.g., context windows, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, Model Context Protocol) into highly clear, value-driven information for clinical, operational, and executive C-suite stakeholders. 

    • AI & LLM Literacy: Firm grasp of Agentic AI paradigms, including token limits, prompt engineering, Claude CLI, Claude, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) data pipelines, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) framework. 

    • System Interoperability Acumen: Deep understanding of how health systems integrate with each other. Comfortable reading API documentation, map complex data fields, evaluate payloads/webhooks, and can pinpoint data dependencies during early-stage discovery.

$100,000 - $117,000 a year
The compensation for this role will be based on level of experience and the geographic tier in which you are located.  Compensation for this role is made up of a base salary with the possibility to earn an additional $30,000/yr through our bonus structure. This position also will be eligible for equity in the form of stock options.
OUR APPROACH TO WORK LOCATION

At Artera, we believe the best work happens when people are truly connected. Our AI services model has shown what's possible when small, focused teams move fast together - the speed of collaboration, pace of career growth, and quality of what we build can become stronger when teams share space. As we grow, we want every new teammate to feel part of an in-person community from day one.

That's why we are focusing our U.S. hiring in three cities, where we are investing in offices and building strong local teams:

  • Santa Barbara, CA (Our HQ)
  • Seattle, WA
  • Kansas City, KS/MO

Unless a role's posting states otherwise, new U.S. roles are based in one of these three cities, and candidates should reside in (or be willing to relocate to) one of these areas. Each location follows an in-person schedule that reflects how our local teams work best; we'll walk you through what to expect for your specific role and city during the interview process.

Focusing on offices and hiring in a few locations, rather than spreading thin across many cities, lets us invest deeply in each one so every team has real community, mentorship, and momentum in person.

WORKING AT ARTERA 
Company benefits - Full health benefits (medical, dental, and vision), flexible spending accounts, company paid life insurance, company paid short-term & long-term disability, company equity, voluntary benefits, 401(k) and more! 
Career development - Manager development resources, employee development funds
Generous time off - Company holidays, Winter & Summer break, and flexible time off
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) - We believe that everyone should belong at their workplace. Our ERGs are available for identifying employees or allies to join.
