Job description

Healthcare’s helping hand. CHG shook things up in 1979 by inventing the locum tenens staffing model. We connect doctors with patients who need their care. As the largest physician staffing firm in America, our providers treat millions of patients each year. Our industry is growing and demand is high. This means you’ll have plenty of opportunities to grow and develop in your career. Keeping healthcare healthy can be as fun as it is rewarding CareerMD serves physicians, residents, fellows, and healthcare employers through career events, a job board, a candidate database, and recruitment marketing. Our next chapter is intelligence: using AI to compound the leverage of every team inside the company and, over time, to deliver a career-long opportunity and intelligence system for physicians and the employers who want to reach them. As our Founding AI Product Engineer, you will identify where AI can measurably improve how CareerMD operates and how its users experience the product. The early work is most likely internal, starting with the teams where operational bottlenecks are clearest, and expands to physician- and employer‑facing intelligence as internal wins prove out the operating model. You will work directly with the VP of Engineering and the Product team. This is a high‑ownership, highleverage role where you will discover, build, eval, ship, learn, and iterate.

Responsibilities

• Discover and automate high-leverage internal workflows
• Ship AI capabilities end-to-end with evals as a first‑class practice
• Partner on data, identity, and architecture
• Build reusable patterns so each capability compounds
• Extend to physician- and employer‑facing intelligence as internal wins compound

Qualifications

• Strong software engineering fundamentals; you can design and ship systems end-to-end
• Experience building and deploying real-world AI applications with LLMs, retrieval, embeddings, and agentic patterns
• Experience building and running eval frameworks for AI products
• Ability to identify high-leverage workflows through direct stakeholder interviews, not just backlog tickets
• Product mindset: you think in terms of user and business outcomes, not just technical output

Education & Years of Experience

• 5+ years of software development
• 3+ years shipping user-facing software with direct product ownership
• 1+ year of shipping AI-powered applications to production
• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or related work experience

Preferred Skills

• Shipping AI-native features into production with measurable outcomes
• Building recommendation, ranking, or matching systems and the feedback loops that improve them
• Designing systems that incorporate user behavior and feedback data
• Experience in early‑stage or high‑ownership environments where the highest‑value work is not always obvious
