AI/LLM Application Engineer, Healthcare

Description

We are seeking a highly skilled AI/LLM Application Engineer to build and deploy intelligent applications for the healthcare sector. This role requires a strong software development background and deep expertise in developing production-level applications with Large Language Models (LLMs). The ideal candidate will excel at building agentic workflows and multi-modal data integration pipelines for clinical applications, with a focus on optimizing application performance. A strong commitment to patient privacy, security, and ethical AI is essential.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and deploy robust, LLM-powered applications tailored for healthcare, such as clinical decision support tools and automated document processing.
• Design and deploy agentic workflows for clinical applications where AI agents autonomously execute multi-step clinical tasks by orchestrating tools, adapting to dynamic contexts, and integrating diverse data modalities.
• Architect and implement robust data integration pipelines that fuse complex, multi-modal clinical information—including documents (PDFs, images), unstructured clinical narratives, and semi-structured medical data—into unified workflows that enable LLMs to analyze, contextualize, and generate actionable clinical insights.
• Apply advanced data retrieval methods to ground LLM-generated responses in specialized healthcare knowledge.
• Write high-quality, efficient, and well-documented Python code for the entire application lifecycle, from data handling to model serving.
• Engineer features and preprocess medical datasets to ensure data quality and model readiness.
• Profile and optimize the performance of data workflows and application code for efficient processing.
• Implement and enforce MLOps/LLMOps best practices, including version control, CI/CD pipelines, and performance monitoring, to ensure system reliability and compliance.
• Ensure strict compliance with healthcare regulations (e.g., HIPAA) and ethical AI principles throughout the development process.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including clinicians, product managers, and other engineers, to define requirements and deliver impactful solutions.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in LLMs and generative AI.
