## About the role

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer for our R&D team at Commure, the team taking emerging technology from inception to impact. We scout new capabilities — a frontier LLM that can chain tool calls, browser agents that can navigate the web, new agent harnesses that can self improve — and figure out how to productionize them for healthcare. Our job is the full arc: research the technology, productize it, deliver it to customers, and own it as a P&L until it graduates. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience, required
- Professional software engineering experience, ideally in a high-growth or startup environment
- Strong fullstack skills — Python on the backend (required), Javascript/React on the frontend, with working knowledge of containers and cloud (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Hands-on experience integrating LLM APIs or building AI-powered features in production
- Track record of driving work from early ideation to successful production deployment
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills with a history of demonstrated resourcefulness
