• Ship prototypes rapidly: Experiment with agent architectures, prompting techniques, and new interaction paradigms. Build demos that help teams evaluate feasibility and user value.
• Drive decisions with data: Interpret evaluation results and present actionable recommendations to leadership, researchers, and product teams. Advocate for evidence-based product decisions.
• Lead through expertise: Stay current with frontier AI research and healthcare applications. Mentor teammates and shape technical direction through deep domain knowledge.

Required experience/qualifications;

• Have extensive experience building in AI/ML with strong technical fundamentals
• Bring deep LLM expertise: evaluation frameworks, RLHF, model training pipelines, and agent architectures
• Bachelor's or Higher Degree in Computer Science, or related technical discipline AND significant Python programming experience / machine learning research.
• Have proven track record of building LLM agents and applications—from prompt engineering to production deployment
• Have shipped 0-to-1 prototypes that influenced product decisions
• Can translate complex technical concepts across research, engineering, and product teams
• Thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments while maintaining high quality standards
• Have knowledge of AI safety and responsible AI practices
