  • Work with commercial and open-source LLMs without being tied to one specific provider
  • Support self-hosted model workflows where they make sense for quality, speed, cost, or control
  • Debug AI feature failures across inputs, outputs, data, backend logic, and user flows
  • Use AI development tools as a core part of your daily workflow
  • Ship quickly while keeping production quality high

  • Ability to turn ambiguous product ideas into working software quickly
  • Strong understanding of how to design, test, validate, and improve AI outputs
  • Experience integrating AI workflows into production systems
  • Strong debugging instincts across application logic, data, model outputs, and user-facing behavior
  • Experience with evaluation, testing, validation, or quality checks for AI-generated outputs
  • Serious experience using AI development tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, or similar as part of your daily workflow
  • High intelligence, fast learning speed, bias to action, and ownership mindset
  • Comfortable with ambiguity, fast decisions, and a high-trust startup environment

Nice to Have

  • Experience with frontend or fullstack product development
  • Experience with self-hosted LLMs, model serving, inference optimization, or similar systems
  • Experience with open-source LLMs and related deployment workflows
  • Experience improving latency, cost, quality, or reliability of AI systems
  • Experience with healthcare software, healthcare data, or regulated environments
