About Basalt

Basalt builds AI for healthcare admissions so the right patients get a bed faster. Backed by NEA.

About the role

You'll own the intelligence layer of our platform—the orchestration systems that coordinate LLM calls, the retrieval pipelines that surface relevant medical history, and the evaluation frameworks that keep it all honest.

What they're looking for

  • Improve our LangGraph orchestration to handle complex clinical workflows
  • Build retrieval pipelines that search patient records using embeddings and vector similarity
  • Set up Langfuse/LangSmith tracing to debug why a summarization chain is hallucinating
  • Fine-tune a model on medical terminology or clinical note structure
  • Evaluate Gemini vs Claude vs GPT for specific healthcare tasks
  • Design the data pipeline that turns unstructured clinical docs into searchable vectors reliably and responsibly
More about this role

We're building tools that help healthcare teams work faster and smarter. Our software handles the tedious parts of patient care coordination so that clinicians can focus on patients. We ship fast, iterate constantly, and believe AI should amplify human capability, not replace it.

You'll own the intelligence layer of our platform—the orchestration systems that coordinate LLM calls, the retrieval pipelines that surface relevant medical history, and the evaluation frameworks that keep it all honest.

You're a generalist who can and will ship across the stack, but you geek out on AI infrastructure. You've opinions on prompt management, you've debugged token limits at 2am, and you know that "it works in the playground" means nothing. You're pushing the limits of your bot swarm farther every day to maximize your impact and excited for the future.
