AI Engineer (LLM Products) - Remote

👋 Welcome to dexter health! At dexter health, we build AI-powered software for care teams. Our mission is to reduce administrative workload in healthcare so caregivers can spend more time with patients. We are looking for a high-agency AI Engineerto help us build new AI features faster and improve the quality, reliability, and speed of existing AI workflows. This is a hands-on engineering role. Not research. Not prompt-only. You will turn ambiguous product ideas into working, production-ready AI features. The role is mostly focused on shipping AI product features, with some AI systems and infrastructure work where needed.You will work closely with product and engineering, but we expect you to take real ownership. You should be comfortable moving fast, making technical decisions under ambiguity, and using AI development tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, or similar every day. Tasks As our AI Engineer, you will: Build new AI-powered product features from idea to productionImprove existing AI workflows for quality, reliability, latency, and user valueDesign and implement LLM-based workflows, structured outputs, validation logic, and fallback behaviorBuild evaluation loops, tests, and quality checks for AI-generated outputsIntegrate AI capabilities into existing product and backend systemsWork with commercial and open-source LLMs without being tied to one specific providerSupport self-hosted model workflows where they make sense for quality, speed, cost, or controlDebug AI feature failures across inputs, outputs, data, backend logic, and user flowsUse AI development tools as a core part of your daily workflowShip quickly while keeping production quality highRequirementsWe care less about formal seniority and more about speed, intelligence, ownership, and product impact. We like people who operate with founder-like urgency: they figure things out, make progress under ambiguity, and care about outcomes more than titles. Must-have Strong software engineering skills, especially in Python or a comparable backend languageExperience building AI-powered product features or LLM-based workflowsAbility to turn ambiguous product ideas into working software quicklyStrong understanding of how to design, test, validate, and improve AI outputsExperience integrating AI workflows into production systemsStrong debugging instincts across application logic, data, model outputs, and user-facing behaviorExperience with evaluation, testing, validation, or quality checks for AI-generated outputsSerious experience using AI development tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, or similar as part of your daily workflowHigh intelligence, fast learning speed, bias to action, and ownership mindsetComfortable with ambiguity, fast decisions, and a high-trust startup environmentClear written and spoken EnglishNice-to-have Experience with frontend or fullstack product developmentExperience with self-hosted LLMs, model serving, inference optimization, or similar systemsExperience with open-source LLMs and related deployment workflowsExperience improving latency, cost, quality, or reliability of AI systemsExperience with healthcare software, healthcare data, or regulated environmentsExperience working with structured data extraction, documentation automation, voice workflows, or workflow automationGerman language skillsKnowledge of nursing homes or elderly care workflowsThis role is probably not for you if You are mainly looking for an ML research roleYou are a prompt engineer without strong coding skillsYou need detailed specifications before making progressYou prefer slow, highly structured corporate environmentsYou are mainly looking for management, not hands-on buildingYou want to use AI tools only occasionally instead of as part of your daily workflowYou optimize for perfect process over fast, reliable executionBenefitsRemote workFair compensation based on skills, experience, and locationOwnership of important backend systemsWork on software used in real healthcare workflowsModern AI-native development workflowRoom to grow with the companyWhy?
