## About the role

ShiftKey is a healthcare workforce marketplace operating in a regulated (HIPAA) environment, and we are building toward being an AI-native company. We are past the experimentation phase but nowhere near done - and that middle stage is exactly why this role exists.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 2 years building and operating production AI/LLM application systems - not research, not prototyping, not demos
- Working experience with agentic frameworks and multi-step reasoning loops - tool use, iteration control, cost governance, and model routing trade-offs
- Production-grade software engineering fluency (strict typing, testing, async/concurrency, modern toolchain) in Go, Python, or TypeScript, with the ability to ramp into another quickly
- Hands-on experience operating AI workloads on a managed cloud AI platform (AWS Bedrock or Azure AI Foundry), including the identity/secrets model and model access governance. Bedrock preferred given our AWS stack
- Hands-on Terraform experience - able to author and provision new infrastructure independently, not just modify existing modules
- Familiarity with production observability for AI systems: metrics, structured logging for model spend and latency, and evaluation harnesses to detect regressions
