About the role

We are looking for an SDE III Agentic AI to design, build, and own production-grade LLM agents that solve complex healthcare problems. This is not about building wrappers around an LLM or experimenting with agents through POCs. You'll work on systems where LLMs reason across multiple steps, use tools, interact with backend systems, and make decisions inside real workflows. You will own these systems end-to-end, from agent and backend design to evals, deployment, observability, and post-production improvement.


Responsibilities:

  • Design, build, and own production-grade LLM agents used in real healthcare workflows.
  • Build the backend services, APIs, and tools that agents interact with.
  • Design agent workflows, including tool calling, orchestration, context, memory, guardrails, and failure handling.
  • Build rigorous evaluation systems using golden datasets, deterministic checks, LLM-as-judge, human review, and trajectory evaluation.
  • Define and track measurable quality metrics such as precision/recall/F1, task success, tool-call accuracy, and regression rates.
  • Build eval-gated release processes, including automated regression suites, shadow/canary deployments, and rollback mechanisms.
  • Instrument and monitor agents in production across quality, reliability, latency, and cost.
  • Debug failures across prompts, models, tools, and underlying backend services.
  • Make pragmatic decisions around model selection based on accuracy, cost, and latency.
  • Know when an agent is the right solution and when deterministic software is better


Requirements:

  • 6+ years of software engineering experience, with strong ownership of production backend systems.
  • 1+ year of experience building LLM agents in production with real users.
  • Experience owning at least one agent end-to-end design, prompts, tools, evaluations, deployment, and post-launch improvement.
  • Strong backend engineering and distributed systems fundamentals.
  • Hands-on experience evaluating AI systems against real datasets and clearly defined metrics.
  • Strong understanding of APIs, production architecture, reliability, and observability.
  • Ability to reason about model choice, prompting, tool design, context, and failure modes.
  • Strong ownership and ability to work across engineering, product, and domain teams.
