AI Engineer (Solutions Architect + Applied AI)

Job Description

AI Engineer (Solutions Architect + Applied AI)

Role Overview

The AI Engineer (Solutions Architect + Applied AI) is responsible for designing, building, and operating the company’s AI-first technology platforms.

This role combines deep hands-on engineering with high-level architecture ownership.

You will lead the development of scalable, production-grade AI systems that power the company’s Digital Twin, CLIA, and wellness technology platforms.

This is not a narrow ML experimentation role.

This role exists to ensure the company’s AI ecosystem is scalable, secure, reliable, and capable of delivering measurable real-world impact.

A major focus of the role is agentic AI development, designing and operating AI agent systems and agent-builder platforms that allow non-programmers across the company to contribute to building technology without needing to learn software engineering.

You will design the architecture, guide implementation, and ensure that the entire AI platform, from data pipelines to model deployment operates with production-grade reliability and responsible AI standards.

You will work closely with leadership, product, clinical, and engineering teams to translate product vision into real AI systems running in production.

Applied AI and Machine Learning Systems

• Translate product and clinical use cases into production AI features and model-enabled capabilities.
• Develop systems involving Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), AI agents and tool-use systems, Multimodal AI applications, Time-series analysis on wearable data.
• Manage the full model lifecycle including Model evaluation frameworks, Prompt engineering and prompt versioning, Model versioning and experimentation, Offline and online A/B testing, Continuous model improvement pipelines
• Implement robust pipelines for data labeling, weak supervision, retrieval optimization, and performance monitoring.
• Maintain strong familiarity with modern AI orchestration tools including LangChain and leading LLM providers such as GPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok.

Agentic AI and AI Driven Development

• Lead development of agentic AI systems and agent-builder platforms that enable stakeholders across the company to participate in building technology.
• Develop AI-driven workflows that support AI-assisted coding and development, Agent-driven automation pipelines, AI-assisted system configuration and infrastructure deployment.
• Use modern AI engineering approaches to accelerate build cycles, reduce manual development overhead, and improve engineering velocity.
• Contribute to building AI-enabled software development lifecycles (SDLC) including AI-assisted requirement interpretation, Automated test generation, Regression testing automation, Release validation and deployment automation.

Data Governance, Privacy, and Security

• Design systems that handle sensitive health and personal data using privacy-by-design principles.
• Define policies for PII and PHI data handling, Consent management, Data lineage and traceability, Retention policies, Cross-border data compliance
• Support integrations with external systems such as Wearables platforms, Electronic Health Records (EHR), Laboratory Information Systems (LIS), Payment systems
• Ensure all systems maintain strong security foundations including encryption, key management, and least-privilege access controls.
