## About the role

As an Applied AI Engineer, you play two roles: a field product engineer who viscerally understands what customers actually need, and a systems builder who makes it real. You work across a tight-knit team of engineers, strategists, and business development, taking raw signal from the field and metabolizing it into what needs to be built, not one-off solutions, but components of an architected system. Every piece of code you ship compounds into the machine we're building for US healthcare.

## What they're looking for

- Strong engineering fundamentals : 2+ years building production software. You can architect a system, reason about how the pieces fit, and hold a clear line on engineering principles
- Bias for leverage : you like pulling a thread all the way and making hard things repeatable, so the next problem is easier than the last
- Product sense : you don't just build the ticket, you notice what the platform actually needs and build toward it
- Clear communicator : you explain technical decisions plainly, and you raise problems with the product or the plan early rather than working around them
