• AI & Data Product Maturation: You have hands-on experience scaling AI-powered products, embedding machine learning or NLP into production workflows, and working with complex data landscapes.
• Engineering Credibility: You can speak the language of our stack. While you won’t be coding daily, you understand Python, FastAPI, AWS cloud-native setups and have an active interest in knowledge graphs (Neo4j/Memgraph) and modern database structures (SQL & NoSQL).
• Regulated Sector Navigation: Exposure to compliance-intensive environments, healthcare data standards (HL7, FHIR), and privacy frameworks is highly preferred.
• Human-in-the-Loop Savviness: Experience building software that seamlessly connects digital automation with operational, human-led service workflows is a massive plus.

Because we value face-to-face collaboration during the week, we are looking for candidates who already live within commuting distance. Please keep in mind that we cannot provide fully remote options.

The technology platform todayYou will inherit a clean, cloud-native foundation with meaningful AI components already in development:

• Backend: Python, FastAPI, deployed primarily as AWS Lambda functions (currently transitioning to Kubernetes-managed services).
• Frontend: Angular web front-end.
• Data Architecture: AWS RDS (SQL), AWS DynamoDB (NoSQL), and rapidly expanding capabilities in Knowledge Graphs (Neo4j / Memgraph).
• AI/ML: In-house human-in-the-loop machine learning utilizing LLMs and NLP techniques for patient matching
• Tooling: GitHub Actions, Terraform, Renovate, ruff, Poetry.
