Position Title: Senior AI & Data Engineer - Healthcare AI

Location: Remote

Full time (9-12 Months)

Job Type: Full Time

Experience: 5+ years

Core responsibilities & objectives:

● Design, build, and maintain batch/streaming data pipelines, ingestion, cleaning, normalisation, enrichment, deduplication.

● Build and own ML/LLM pipelines end-to-end: document parsing, chunking, embeddings generation, vector indexing, agentic tool calling, multi-step workflows, retries, fallbacks, and state handling.

● Write production-grade, well-tested Python that processes large volumes of data and documents reliably.

● Own pipeline health: if data is stale, broken, or wrong, it's on you.

● Work autonomously to project deadlines with minimal hand-holding.

● Key qualifications & skills (non-negotiable)

● 7+ years in backend data-heavy development or data engineering

● Previously worked in Startup

● Hands-on experience with large datasets and high-velocity data streams (Kafka, Flink, Spark).

● Strong with pipeline orchestration tools (Airflow, MLflow, or equivalent).

What will get you rejected:

● I set up the pipeline, someone else monitors it mindset.

● Tutorials and side projects but no production experience at scale.

● Can't explain trade-offs between streaming vs. batch, or why you chose one vector DB over another.

● Needs detailed specs before writing a line of code.

● No curiosity about healthcare or what the data actually means.

● Interested We're a distributed team solving hard problems that will reshape the healthcare industry for a generation. If you want ownership, not just tickets, we'd like to hear from you.
