About the Role

Join an early-stage healthtech company building AI agents that help recruit and support participants in clinical trials. As a founding engineer on the agent team, you will own the development of safe, scalable conversational experiences for patients in a regulated industry.

What You'll Do

Build and orchestrate AI agents that coordinate participant recruitment across multiple clinical trials.

Review production traces, identify challenging conversation scenarios, create evaluations, and use results to improve the agent harness.

Integrate health profile data sources to support timely, relevant outreach and participant qualification.

Scale language model experiences across voice, SMS, and email while keeping conversations consistent and personalized.

Evaluate emerging agent tools and research, and apply them to the product and its underlying software systems.

What We're Looking For

0 to 4 years of experience in software engineering, agent engineering, or applied AI.

Hands-on experience building production conversational agents and agent harnesses at scale, beyond prototypes or personal projects.

Experience developing evaluation and tracing infrastructure for AI agents.

Strong programming and technical fundamentals, with an undergraduate degree in computer science, mathematics, or a related field.

Familiarity with conversational AI, large language models, agent orchestration, voice or SMS systems, and tools such as LangGraph or Vercel AI SDK.

Resourceful, persistent approach to solving challenging engineering problems; consumer AI or healthtech experience is helpful.
