## 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.

- 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
