• Evaluate build-versus-buy options for AI vendors and APIs, and lead technical diligence on new tools.

Responsible and Compliant AI

• Ensure AI systems that touch PHI run only on approved infrastructure with a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) in place, and apply de-identification where appropriate.
• Maintain an inventory of AI models and use cases, with documented intended use, data sources, limitations and human-review requirements.
• Build evaluation and monitoring for accuracy, bias, hallucination and drift; keep a human in the loop for any output that affects patient care or billing.

Data and Infrastructure

• Partner with the development team on data pipelines, prompt and model versioning, logging and deployment (MLOps).

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, data science, engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of hands-on software or machine learning engineering, including at least one AI/LLM application shipped to production.
• Strong Python skills; experience with LLM APIs, embeddings, vector databases and RAG patterns.
• Experience with a major cloud platform (AWS, Azure or GCP) and with APIs, containers and version control.
• Working knowledge of data privacy and security principles for sensitive data.
• Clear communicator who can explain AI capabilities and limits to non-technical colleagues.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience in healthcare technology, including HIPAA-regulated environments, EHR integrations, HL7/FHIR or claims data.
• Familiarity with CMS care management programs (CCM, RPM, TCM, BHI) or value-based care.
