## About the role

We're hiring a Staff Applied AI Engineer to take technical ownership of how we build and scale agentic workflows across Qualified Health's product lines. This role goes beyond shipping individual workflows — you'll set the architectural patterns, reusable infrastructure, and engineering standards that let the rest of the team build faster and more reliably. You'll operate with significant autonomy, driving technical direction on ambiguous problems with minimal oversight, while still being hands-on in the code. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Strong software engineering foundation (Python required, deep familiarity with production system design)
- 5+ years building production software, including 2+ years building AI-powered applications with LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Anthropic, Mistral, etc.)
- Demonstrated experience architecting REST APIs and services deployed at scale in cloud environments (GCP preferred)
- Strong grasp of MLOps, model deployment, and workflow automation — with experience setting standards or infrastructure other engineers build on, not just consuming it
- Track record of driving technical decisions with significant ambiguity and minimal oversight
- Bachelor's degree + 7 years OR Master's degree + 5 years in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
