Descrição da oferta de emprego

You have been the go-to engineer on your team — the one others turn to when things get hard. You don't wait for tickets; you figure out what needs to be built and you build it. Now you want a role where that's the expectation, not the exception.

We're hiring for that role. Remote, anywhere in Latin America.

Areti Health is a fast-growing Silicon Valley healthcare technology company. We have built the only full-service clinical trial patient recruitment AI agent. Backed by leading venture capital firms with a $6.6M funding round just closed, we are on a mission to transform clinical research through technology that allows pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device companies to bring their therapies to patients faster and save lives.

We achieve industry-leading conversion rates : up to 10x improvement over human-driven processes with up to 8x operational cost reduction. Coupled with our seamless medical record access and mass outreach capabilities, we compress recruitment timelines from many months to a few weeks across multiple therapeutic areas.

Our AI-first system matches prospective patients, answers their questions based on clinical trial documentation using voice and chat AI, schedules appointments, collects patient information, runs pre-qualification questionnaires, assists with patient onboarding, nurtures scheduled patients, and integrates with research site systems – all fully autonomously. We work with some of the largest US clinical research players, including the #1 commercial clinical research organization ($16B in revenue), the #1 academic clinical research organization (trials at 1,100 sites), and the #1 clinical research site network.

You will join a team of 20, working closely with the founder who brings a prior $4B healthcare technology exit, Y Combinator founder experience, a Stanford PhD, and three Silicon Valley CTO stints.

We offer competitive salary, stock options, and paid time off.

What you will do

• Scale the product to support thousands of clinical trials
• Work directly on AI applications daily
• Design, develop, and maintain reliable, simple, and efficient Python services
• Architect and implement robust backend systems that handle sensitive healthcare data
• Collaborate cross-functionally to deliver solutions that delight customers
• Deeply integrate with clinical trial management and other systems
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code
• Drive technical and product decision-making and help shape our engineering roadmap and architecture decisions

Note : This role does not involve training ML models.

Requirements

• You are excited about our mission : getting novel therapies to patients faster
• 5+ years of Python experience you're proud of — across multiple projects, systems, or problem domains. We value growth and range, not the same year repeated five times.
• Track record of end-to-end ownership : scoping, building, shipping, and maintaining
• You are an AI-native developer — you ship features using Claude Code, Codex, or similar tools daily, not occasionally
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and taking initiative. You figure out what needs to be done – not expect to be told what to do
• Self-directed and low-maintenance thanks to your strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Background as a software engineer first — we're looking for candidates who have focused their careers on building and shipping production software, rather than transitioning from data science, research, or other adjacent fields
• BS in Computer Science or equivalent

Nice to have

• AWS infrastructure experience
• Experience with large language models in production, where you personally wrote prompts and used GenAI tooling, such as prompting or guardrail libraries
