This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.
• Design, develop, and maintain production-level AI systems and APIs that power our offerings.
• Integrate and optimize models (LLMs, embeddings, or other machine learning architectures) for both customer-facing and internal applications.
• Manage the complete lifecycle of AI features—from research and prototyping to production implementation, deployment, and monitoring.
• Work collaboratively with engineering, product, and science teams to define and deliver impactful AI-driven functionalities.
• Create data pipelines, retrieval systems, and scalable infrastructures for inference and model serving.
• Ensure the performance, observability, and reliability of AI components in production environments.
• (Depending on experience) Lead AI projects, influence architectural and system design choices, and mentor fellow engineers.
• Demonstrated experience in building and deploying AI or machine learning systems in production at scale (beyond mere prototypes or demonstrations).
• In-depth knowledge of model integration workflows—from inference pipelines to prompt engineering, fine-tuning, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) setups.
• Strong backend engineering expertise (Python or Node.js preferred).
• Experience in designing AI architectures (e.g., hybrid retrieval systems, multi-model orchestration, or embeddings).
• Familiarity with AWS cloud infrastructure and data pipelines.
• A solid understanding of API development and system architecture for scalable applications.
• Ability to work independently and lead execution in a startup setting.
• Prior experience integrating LLMs into production products (OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex AI, etc.) is preferred.
• Knowledge of vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS, Chroma) is preferred.
• Experience in observability, monitoring, and evaluation of AI systems is preferred.
• Prior experience leading projects or mentoring engineers is preferred.
• Background in healthtech, biotech, or handling sensitive health data is preferred.
• Remote-First Company: our working hours follow a 2 hour window from 9 am - 6 pm CST.
• Driven by an ambitious mission: we're reinventing how we should think about wellness from the first 1,000 days to the last.
• Shape what we build, not just how we build it: we prioritize experimentation, ownership, and rapid movement.
• No hidden agendas: we operate with full transparency; when everyone is aligned on an honest picture, less time is wasted on politics and more on impact.
• High standards, human culture: we hold ourselves to a high standard and do so alongside a team that can laugh at themselves and make challenging days genuinely enjoyable.
