About Hippocratic AI

Hippocratic AI builds the safest generative AI healthcare agent for health systems, payors, and pharma. Over 180 million clinical interactions across 1,000+ use cases with 60+ partners worldwide. Backed by General Catalyst, Kleiner Perkins and a16z.

About the role

Hippocratic AI's AI agents are already working inside real hospitals and health systems — this role owns the backend infrastructure that keeps them fast, reliable, and ready to scale as that footprint grows. You'll architect systems built for tomorrow's volume, not just today's, working closely with data scientists, ML engineers, and product managers to turn healthcare requirements into production-grade infrastructure. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (Master's preferred)
  • 4+ years of backend development experience using Python, Golang, or similar languages
  • Experience building and maintaining multi-modal (speech, vision, text) data pipelines using Ray, Apache Airflow, or similar for distributed processing and model experimentation, including distributed computing frameworks like Spark or Hadoop
  • Familiarity with relational database systems and RESTful APIs
  • Basic understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or similar)
