• Implement data security, access control, PHI/PII handling, and audit-logging practices appropriate for a regulated healthcare environment (HIPAA and related compliance frameworks)
• Deploy, monitor, and operate AI services on AWS, following enterprise practices for CI/CD, observability, scalability, and cost management
• Collaborate with data engineers, ML engineers, product owners, and compliance/security stakeholders to translate business requirements into secure, production-ready agentic solutions
• Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code and contribute to internal standards and reusable components for agent development
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues across the AI application stack, from agent logic and prompt/tool design to data access and infrastructure

• Strong proficiency in Python, including experience building APIs/services and integrating with LLM frameworks and cloud SDKs
• Experience working with Databricks and/or Snowflake for data access, transformation, or pipeline development
