Job description

Blooming Health is a mission-driven, venture-backed health tech company transforming the social care landscape. We’re building an intelligent platform that helps people navigate and access the resources essential for holistic well‑being—enabling CBOs, health systems, and health plans to deliver more effective and equitable care.

The Opportunity

We’re hiring an AI Engineer to help us design and build the systems that power our AI experiences—especially LLM-driven workflows, conversational patterns, and orchestration/agent layers. You’ll work closely with the Director of AI Engineering and product/engineering partners to ship reliable AI features into production, with strong attention to evaluation, data, and software quality.

What You’ll Do

• Brainstorm and design AI orchestration patterns: how agents hand off, how state flows, how to handle uncertainty and edge cases.
• Build and maintain our AI orchestration layer (Master OS, Engines, agent workflows).
• Think through tradeoffs in prompt design, tool architecture, and conversation flow.
• Design data pipelines that capture, transform, and surface insights from patient/member interactions.
• Be a thought partner on technical direction—we’re building something new and need someone who enjoys solving hard problems together.

What You’ll Bring

MUST HAVE

AI / LLM Foundations

• Hands‑on experience with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar).
• Understanding of prompt engineering patterns and limitations.
• Familiarity with conversational AI / chatbot architectures.
• Ability to reason about AI system design: when to use agents, how to structure workflows, how to handle uncertainty.
• Comfortable with async Python (asyncio, httpx, aioredis).
• Experience building APIs and backend services.
• Strong grasp of clean code principles and testing.
• Experience building ETL pipelines / data workflows.
• Understanding of data modeling and schema design.

Nice-to-Haves

AI / LLM Depth

• Orchestration patterns: multi-agent systems, tool use, function calling.
• RAG, embeddings, retrieval systems.
• Familiarity with evaluation/testing strategies for AI systems.
• Orchestration tools (Airflow, Prefect, Dagster).
• dbt or similar transformation frameworks.
• Healthcare workflows, HIPAA considerations.
• SDOH, care management, patient engagement experience.

Why Join Blooming Health?

• Impact: Help improve access to social care and advance health equity.
• Innovation: Build real AI systems that ship—agents, orchestration, data, and evaluation.
• Growth: Take real ownership and grow fast with the product and team.
• Team: Mission-driven people who move quickly and care about doing it right.
