Job description

Why Clarium?

The healthcare industry overspends on its supply chain by over $25B each year, the result of fragmented data, inefficient workflows, and wasted supplies. Clarium is fixing that. Our AI-powered platform, Astra OS, gives hospitals end-to-end visibility into their supply chain operations, automating workflows and surfacing actionable insights so supply chain teams can focus on what matters most: patient care. We're trusted by some of the world's leading health systems, including Yale New Haven Health, Stanford, Geisinger, Cleveland Clinic, and Kaiser Permanente.

Founded in 2020, Clarium has raised $43M in total funding. Our Series A was led by Northzone, with participation from General Catalyst, AlleyCorp, Kaiser Permanente Ventures, Texas Medical Center Ventures, and 1984 Ventures.

The Opportunity

Clarium is scaling its AI capabilities, and we're looking for an AI Engineer to join the AI team. You'll work closely with our Head of AI alongside engineering, data, and product to build the backend systems and AI applications that power Clarium's healthcare supply chain platform.

This isn't a research role, you'll be shipping production systems that real healthcare providers rely on every day. If you want to own meaningful work at an early-stage, well-funded company where AI is the core product, this is the role.

In This Role You Will

• Architect and develop robust backend systems that integrate with LLM APIs to power Clarium's AI features

• Design and build scalable backend services in Python and FastAPI

• Take full ownership of critical system components from REST APIs to AI agent implementation

• Collaborate with product managers and customers to ensure what you build maps directly to real-world healthcare workflows

• Participate actively in code reviews and sprint planning

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience

• 1+ years of hands-on experience building and deploying AI applications in production

• Solid understanding of backend architecture principles and AI application design

• Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs and integrating third-party services

• Strong command of database technologies (relational and/or NoSQL)

• Self-motivated, strong communicator, and a clear problem-solver

Nice to Have

• Prior experience at an early-stage startup

• Familiarity with healthcare data or supply chain domains

Skills & Tools You'll Use

Need to Know: Python · FastAPI · SQL · RESTful APIs · LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic)

Nice to Know: Kubernetes · Terraform · Vector databases

What You Get at Clarium

• Incentive Stock Options proportionate to your salary

• Fully remote — we're a distributed team across multiple time zones

• Unlimited PTO

• Top-tier health, vision, and dental benefits

• The opportunity to build on a strong foundational team with deep data and engineering roots at a stage where your work genuinely shapes the product
