Responsibilities
- Architect and ship AI-driven features — RAG pipelines and agentic workflows that take action across systems with human oversight where it matters
- Build the backend and infrastructure to run these reliably and at scale, across tens of thousands of IoT devices and low-connectivity environments
- Define what "good" looks like for our AI systems — holding them to real accuracy and impact standards, not demo performance
- Own large parts of the system end-to-end, from architecture to production reliability
- Work closely with product and data science to iterate fast and keep solutions aligned with product vision and real public-health needs
Skills
- Expert-level Python and backend engineering, with a track record of scalable production services
- Proven, in-production experience with RAG (retrieval, embeddings, vector stores)
- Hands-on experience building agentic systems — multi-step, tool-using AI that takes action, not just chat
- Strong grasp of the infrastructure to run AI in production reliably at scale (cloud, AWS/GCP)
- Demonstrated experience evaluating AI systems for accuracy and real-world impact, and iterating on results
- Preference for candidates based in the time zones from the U.S. Eastern through East Africa (UTC-5 to UTC+3)
