Base pay range $170,000.00/yr - $230,000.00/yr Direct message the job poster from AustinWorks Connecting top talent across Software, Analytics, and AI. Volunteer tutor and dog father. Employment Type: Full-time $180k to $230k Transform healthcare with us This client is building the next generation of AI‑powered healthcare infrastructure — using agentic workflows, predictive models, and real‑time intelligence to solve some of the most critical operational challenges in modern health systems. Their platform enables safe AI governance, scalable automation, and real‑world clinical and operational impact. This is more than a job. It’s a chance to help define the future of applied AI in healthcare and ship meaningful technology at startup speed. About the Role They are hiring an Applied AI Engineer who will focus on building and scaling real‑world AI applications. This role blends 60–75% strong software engineering with 30–40% practical AI/ML expertise, with an emphasis on deploying production systems—not research. You’ll work across multiple product lines (revenue cycle, hospital operations, command center intelligence), partnering closely with engineering, product, and platform teams to ship AI applications that deliver measurable outcomes for health systems. What You’ll Do AI Application Development Build agentic workflows, automation pipelines, and real‑time AI features. Reuse ~80% of existing platform components while extending them with new AI capabilities. Apply traditional ML (predictive modeling, time‑series forecasting) to hospital operations and scheduling use cases. Software Engineering & Integrations Build and maintain production‑ready services, REST APIs, and microservices. Deploy and monitor applications in cloud‑native environments (GCP preferred). Work closely with platform engineers on distributed systems, data flows, and workflow infrastructure. Ship production solutions in days/weeks, not months — with a strong bias toward speed and scrappiness. Partner with front‑end engineers on real‑time dashboards and operational tools. Contribute to scaling a workflow ecosystem that will support 100+ applied AI workflows. Integrate models such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Mistral into production environments. Tune AI systems through data format design, monitoring, evals, and iterative improvement. What We’re Looking For Required 3–10 years of software engineering experience (strong Python required). Experience deploying AI‑powered applications in production (LLMs, forecasting, chatbots, or similar). Solid fundamentals in Kubernetes, distributed systems, APIs, and microservices. Familiarity with Python ML libraries (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit‑learn) and deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow or PyTorch). Ability to apply ML pragmatically in production environments. Experience shipping production software at real scale. Must be located in the Bay Area (hybrid onsite requirement). Bonus Background starting in software engineering and expanding into ML or applied AI. Exposure to agentic workflows, eval pipelines, or automation frameworks. Startup experience and comfort navigating ambiguity. Combination of startup scrappiness and big tech engineering rigor. Why Join Client? This is a chance to join a fast‑growing company at a uniquely strong stage. They have raised $30M at a $100M valuation, putting them at a Series A/B scale with significant momentum. They are building a category‑defining product with meaningful enterprise demand, typically signing contracts around $1M. Equity offers substantial upside potential, with the possibility of 10‑20x returns depending on company growth. Benefits Benefits include competitive salary, equity, medical/dental/vision coverage, flexible working hours, a hybrid setup, and a mission‑driven environment that prioritizes innovation and impact. Compensation Base salary: $175,000–$240,000+ depending on level (P2–P4) and experience. Meaningful equity with significant upside potential. Full benefits package included.
