Full Job Description
The Opportunity

We're looking for a hands-on ML/LLM Engineer who's excited to ship real-world applications - not just benchmarks. You'll help us build and optimize AI-native systems that blend structured and unstructured data to power decisions in high-stakes domains. This is a mid to senior-level role for someone who's ready to go deep on applied ML problems - from retrieval to routing to generation - and ship solutions that deliver impact.

What you'll do

  • Own and optimize pipelines that combine classical ML and LLM-based systems (RAG, scoring, summarization, etc.)


  • Fine-tune and evaluate LLMs using both open-source and proprietary data


  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to build real-world applications in healthcare and biopharma


  • Implement retrieval strategies, prompt chaining, and inference orchestration for production use cases


  • Monitor and improve model quality, latency, explainability, and safety


  • Stay ahead of the curve in LLM evaluation, tuning, and agent-based architectures


Qualifications

  • 3-6 years of experience in applied ML, with at least 1-2 years working with LLMs


  • Strong Python skills and familiarity with ML/LLM frameworks (PyTorch, Transformers, LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.)


  • Comfort with embeddings, vector search, retrieval pipelines, and prompt tuning


  • Bias for experimentation, clarity, and pushing things into production - fast


  • Understanding of responsible AI practices, model evaluation, and observability


  • Experience in healthcare, compliance-sensitive data, or regulated environments


What we offer

  • A chance to make a real impact in the future of healthcare


  • Autonomy, ownership, and the ability to chart your own growth path


  • Competitive compensation and benefits


  • 100% employer-paid health, vision, and dental insurance


  • Retirement plans (401k), disability insurance, employee assistance programs


How to Apply

Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter to [redacted] explaining why you are the ideal candidate for this role. We are excited to meet someone who is eager to bring their skills, enthusiasm, and creativity to our team!
