## About the role

AI is disrupting our stack from the inside, and we're looking for a Principal Engineer to architect that transformation from day one. Applied AI is a small, fast-moving team building a fresh take on how patient care should happen, from intake through ongoing care companionship.

## What they're looking for

- Partner with research-focused teammates who move fast on experimentation, and take their work to production: hardening services for uptime, reliability, and scale. Bring engineering rigor to a team that's optimized for speed of iteration
- 15+ years of professional software engineering experience with deep architectural expertise and a record of delivering production systems at scale
- Proven track record of influencing technical strategy and delivering cross-org technical initiatives at the group or organizational level
- Excellent track record standing up services at scale in production, with a demonstrated ability to think about robustness, scalability, and debuggability from day one
- Deep experience owning service architecture across a full stack — understanding how services should blend together, not just how to build any one of them well
- A "productionization" mindset: comfortable being the counterweight to a fast-moving research/experimentation culture, focused on uptime and reliability
