About the Role
Staff AI Engineer (Remote, US)Build AI-Native Software That Improves Patient Care$180-250k base + bonus + equity
This isn't a role for engineers who are simply experimenting with AI.
We're partnered with a fast-growing healthtech company looking for an exceptional Staff Engineer who already uses AI coding agents every day to build software faster, better and smarter.
They're looking for someone who lives and breathes modern software development. Someone who is constantly testing the latest AI coding tools, actively involved in developer communities, and excited by how quickly the engineering landscape is changing.
If you want complete ownership of what you build and the opportunity to solve meaningful healthcare problems using cutting-edge AI, keep reading.
The OpportunityHealthcare still runs on fragmented systems, manual processes and disconnected workflows.This company is changing that by building an AI-powered platform that sits directly inside clinical environments, helping healthcare providers automate routine work, surface critical insights and improve patient care.
Everything you build is deployed into production and used by real clinicians. Ideas move quickly from concept to production, with direct feedback from leading healthcare organisations.This is an opportunity to help define how AI-native engineering is done.
What You'll Be Doing
• Own products and features end-to-end, from idea through production
• Build scalable backend services using Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL and event-driven architecture
• Leverage AI coding agents throughout the development lifecycle to dramatically increase productivity while maintaining engineering quality
• Prototype new product ideas and rapidly turn the best concepts into production features
• Design scalable cloud-native systems running on AWS
• Shape architecture, engineering standards and technical direction across the platform
• Mentor other engineers while remaining deeply hands-on
You'll spend the vast majority of your time building.
Tech Stack
• Python 3.12
• FastAPI
• PostgreSQL
• Apache Kafka
• AWS
• Docker
• React & TypeScript
• LLMs & AI Coding Agents
• LangGraph / LangChain
• Promptfoo, LangSmith and modern LLM evaluation tooling
What We're Looking For
• 10+ years building production software
• Senior or Staff-level engineering experience with deep backend expertise
• AI-native mindset, using coding agents daily as part of your development workflow
• Passion for exploring the latest AI coding tools and developer productivity platforms
• Experience building AI products, agentic systems or LLM-powered applications
• Strong Python and distributed systems experience
• Product-minded engineer who enjoys taking ideas from zero to production
• High-energy builder who thrives in fast-moving environments
• Active contributor to engineering communities and stays ahead of emerging AI tooling
• Healthcare experience is a plus, but not essential
Why This Role?
• Build software that directly impacts patient care
• AI is embedded into both the product and the engineering culture
• End-to-end ownership with genuine influence over technical direction
• Work alongside highly technical, product-focused engineers
• Fully remote across the U.S.
• High-growth company solving real-world healthcare problems with AI
If you're already using AI as a force multiplier and want to help define what world-class AI-native engineering looks like, we'd love to speak with you.
