Senior AI Applied Scientist

Our Company Anthuria is bringing AI innovation to skilled nursing facilities, transforming nurses’ daily workflows. We use AI agents to turn overwhelming volumes of clinical notes into clear, actionable insights that immediately improve patient care, reimbursement and compliance. We are building an edge device that will be able to give real-time feedback to nurses. Founded only a few months ago and backed by a family office with deep healthcare expertise, we are already deployed in 180 facilities across 10+ states with paying customers.

We're building with experts from the industry who have joined the team. Our understanding of our users’ operations enables us to create products that become essential to our users' daily workflows in an industry where technological innovation has historically lagged.

At Anthuria, we foster a culture of collaboration, support, and curiosity. We assume best intentions, pursue technical excellence, and remain focused on delivering client value. As an early team member, you'll continuously shape not just our technical direction but our culture and practices as well. This is a rare opportunity to make a massive impact from the ground floor as we build something transformative in healthcare.

You Will Fine-tune models for real-time clinical feedback: Fine-tune open-source language models to give nurses real-time feedback on their documentation and task completion at the point of care. This work happens under unusually tight constraints—strict latency budgets, limited on-device memory, and battery-powered hardware mean you're optimizing for genuinely tiny models, not just "small" ones, often in the sub-billion-parameter range. You have hands-on experience with the full fine-tuning lifecycle from data curation to evaluation.

Own end-to-end evaluation loops: Establish robust evaluation frameworks and metrics for our AI solutions, empowering the team to rigorously test, monitor, and measure the performance, iterate rapidly, and deliver high-performing AI products. You dive deep into product specs, user behavior and keep the company strategy and objectives in mind at all times.

Shape a metrics-driven culture: Help establish data pipelines, product analytics, and experimentation standards that keep the entire team focused on measurable impact. You can effectively communicate technical concepts to diverse stakeholders.

Navigate healthcare systems and data requirements : Embed security and HIPAA-grade compliance into every AI system, pipeline and experiment, ensuring patient information is protected as we scale.

Drive continuous AI innovation: Participate in ongoing research into customer workflows and proactively identify emerging AI technologies that can drive business value for Anthuria.

You Are Highly accountable : You take ownership of your work from concept to maintenance, treating the company's success as your own. You approach challenges with an owner's mindset, taking responsibility for outcomes and maintaining the highest standards of integrity in all you do.

Curious and collaborative: You continuously learn while generously offering help without being asked. You bring a growth mindset to everything you do, passionate about developing your own capabilities while lifting the entire organization in the process.

Comfortable with ambiguity : You navigate uncertainty with confidence and excitement, seeing the opportunity to shape a growing company's foundation. You are independent and self-directed, thriving in an early-stage environment where your impact is immediately visible.

Value-driven: You ship quickly without sacrificing necessary quality. You pragmatically balance speed of iteration with high technical standards, always keeping business impact as your north star when making decisions.
