Remote Staff NA Digital Health Artificial Intelligence Staff Engineer Data Scientist Reporting Vector Governance Documentation

Requirements

• 8+ years in software engineering, with a track record of shipping production systems end-to-end • Hands-on experience building with LLMs and agentic systems — prompt engineering, context/tool design, evaluation, and orchestration • Real, production-level experience with modern AI coding assistants and agentic dev tools — not just awareness of them — and a clear point of view on when and how they add value • Working knowledge of applied ML fundamentals sufficient to help move a heuristic system toward a proper ML-based approach (features, evaluation, model selection, collaborating with/acting as a data scientist) • Demonstrated ability to drive technical adoption across an engineering organization without direct authority — through credibility, clear communication, and working software, not mandates • Strong product instincts for internal tooling: you talk to your "users" (fellow engineers), prioritize ruthlessly, and ship iteratively • Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting roadmap, tradeoffs, and results to engineering leadership • Prior experience in a staff/principal-level IC role, ideally with cross-team or platform scope • Experience building internal AI enablement programs, developer-experience platforms, or lightweight AI governance frameworks • Experience in healthcare, healthtech, or another regulated industry • Familiarity with vector search / RAG, model evaluation frameworks, and observability for LLM-based systems • Experience with conversational AI / virtual assistant products

Responsibilities

• Act as engineering's subject-matter expert on generative AI, agentic systems, and AI-assisted software development — tracking the landscape closely enough to separate durable capability from hype • Diagnose team-level workflows and pain points by meeting with every engineering team, translating findings into a prioritized backlog of AI-enabled solutions • Own the AI enablement roadmap end-to-end — propose it, get buy-in from engineering leadership, execute against it, and report on impact • Evaluate and pilot AI coding assistants and agentic tools, driving adoption decisions grounded in evidence rather than hype, calibrated to our team's size, stack, and current AI fluency • Design, build, and operate a network of specialized automation agents targeting high-friction engineering and operational workflows, on a shared architecture that lets new agents be added quickly and reliably • Instrument and measure the impact of each automation you ship (time saved, quality improvement, adoption) and iterate based on real usage • Partner with teams across the business to modernize existing rules-based or heuristic systems into more data-driven, ML-informed approaches, working closely with data and clinical stakeholders where relevant • Define lightweight adoption frameworks and guardrails (quality, security, cost, and responsible-use considerations) so new tools and agents can be rolled out safely and repeatably • Champion AI/automation best practices across engineering through documentation, demos, brown bags, and hands-on pairing with teams • Make the tradeoffs of any given AI approach (build vs. buy, cost, latency, quality, risk) legible to both engineers and leadership

Benefits

• Meaningful mission — your work directly helps a lean engineering team spend more time on what moves the business • Shape how an entire engineering org builds with AI — real autonomy and direct access to engineering leadership • A mandate to build things that matter, not produce slideware • Impact that spans developer productivity, operations, and the broader patient experience • Competitive compensation, benefits, and remote flexibilityn • Top-notch team: we're a diverse, experienced group motivated to make a difference in mental health care • Collaborative environment: be part of building something from the ground up at a fast-paced startup • Excellent benefits: medical, dental, vision, effective day 1 of employment, 401K with match, generous PTO plus paid holidays, paid parental leave, and more! • Grow your career with us: hone your skills and build new ones with our Learning team as Talkiatry expands • It all comes back to care: we’re a mental health company, and we put our team’s well-being first • Talkiatry participates in E-Verify and will provide the federal government with your Form I-9 information to confirm that you are authorized to work in the U.S. only after a job offer is accepted and Form I-9 is completed.
