## About the role

We're hiring a Principal Applied AI Engineer to set the technical vision for how Qualified Health builds agentic AI systems across the entire product portfolio. This is a company-level technical leadership role: you'll shape multi-year infrastructure strategy, represent engineering in decisions about AI direction at the leadership table, and set the bar for what "production-grade agentic AI in healthcare" means at QH. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Deep software engineering foundation (Python required) with a track record of architecting systems used company-wide
- 8+ years building production software, including 4+ years building and scaling AI-powered/LLM-driven applications in production
- Proven experience setting technical direction and standards adopted across multiple teams, not just a single product line
- Deep expertise in MLOps, model deployment, and workflow automation at an organizational/platform level
- Demonstrated ability to operate with full autonomy on ambiguous, high-stakes technical and strategic problems
- Strong track record influencing technical decisions at the leadership level, including with non-technical stakeholders
