Senior Software Development Engineer - AI Native Platform

About Autonomize AI

Autonomize AI is building the intelligence layer for healthcare. Our Genesis platform replaces brittle, manual knowledge workflows with AI agents that reason, retrieve, and act - reducing administrative burden so clinicians can focus on patients.

We're looking for engineers who don't just integrate AI into software - they think in agents, design for inference, and treat LLMs as first-class infrastructure.

The Opportunity

You'll architect and ship across the full Genesis stack: agentic pipelines, backend APIs, data infrastructure, and clinical-facing UI. You'll work directly with founders and customers. You'll own things end-to-end.

This is not a role where you bolt AI onto existing CRUD. You'll be making foundational decisions about how intelligent systems are designed, evaluated, and operated at scale in a regulated industry.

You're a Fit If You Have

1) AI-native engineering is your default mode

• You've built production systems where LLMs are doing real work - not demos, not PoCs
• You've designed and shipped RAG pipelines, multi-agent workflows, or tool-using agents in production
• You understand prompt engineering as an engineering discipline: versioning, evaluation, regression testing
• You've instrumented AI systems for observability - latency, token usage, hallucination rate, drift
• You can reason about model tradeoffs (context length, cost, latency, accuracy) and make architectural calls accordingly
• You've worked with LLM SDKs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, etc.) and agentic orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, or similar)

2) You build robust backend systems

• 6 + years building production web applications from scratch
• Deep Python proficiency; comfortable with FastAPI, Django, or Flask in production
• Experience designing APIs that serve both humans and AI agents (tool schemas, structured outputs, streaming)
• Async-first thinking: asyncio, task queues, event-driven architectures
• Kafka, Redis, or ActiveMQ for real-time data movement
• Postgres, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, or graph databases (Neo4j, TigerGraph) in production

3) You operate at cloud scale

• Docker and Kubernetes in production - this is a hard requirement
• At least one public cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) with real operational experience
• Microservices and cloud-native design patterns
• You've been on-call. You know what a bad deploy feels like at 2am.
• You can ship a frontend when the product demands it
• React, TypeScript, or modern JS frameworks
• Enough frontend fluency to build clinical interfaces without a dedicated frontend handoff

Bonus Points

• Led a small engineering team - mentored, reviewed, unblocked
• CKAD or equivalent Kubernetes certification
• ML/DL model deployment experience (PyTorch, scikit-learn)
• Built evaluation harnesses or used MLflow, LangSmith, or similar for AI observability
• Healthcare domain experience (FHIR, HL7, clinical workflows)

What We Value Above Credentials

Bias toward action - you ship, then iterate. You learn by doing, not by planning.

Owner mentality - you don't wait for permission. You identify what needs to exist and build it.

Intellectual honesty - you'd rather say "I don't know, let me find out". When unsure, seek the right information from your peers or leaders.

Async-first communication - you write clearly, document decisions, and work well across time zones.

What You'll Get

Ground floor equity in a VC-backed healthcare AI company growing fast

Full-stack ownership - no handoffs, no silos, no "that's not my team"

Direct access to founders and customers - your technical decisions will be seen and felt

Professional development budget - conferences, courses, certifications, books

Flexible, remote-friendly culture built around output, not hours

If you've been waiting for a role where AI isn't a feature - it's the foundation - this is it.
