• Build and maintain integrations across internal applications, APIs, knowledge bases, databases, and AI services.
• Contribute to the design and implementation of new automation and AI-enabled capabilities as business needs evolve.

Support reliable production systems

• Own operational support for AI-enabled applications and workflows in production, including troubleshooting, incident response, release coordination, and ongoing maintenance.
• Manage application deployments, infrastructure configuration, monitoring, alerting, and operational support for AWS-hosted applications and services.
• Investigate production issues, perform root‑cause analysis, and implement durable solutions that improve reliability.

Enable AI-powered workflows

• Support AI agents and workflow automation capabilities as they mature from pilot initiatives into scalable production solutions.
• Develop and troubleshoot cloud‑based workflows using AWS services such as Bedrock, Lambda, Glue, S3, IAM, CloudWatch, and MWAA/Airflow.
• Implement testing, monitoring, and operational readiness practices that improve the quality and reliability of AI-enabled workflows.

Collaborate across teams

• Partner with clinical, terminology, product, data science, and engineering teams to improve AI‑enabled workflows while maintaining appropriate human review and auditability.
• Mentor team members and promote software engineering best practices for secure, maintainable, and production‑ready systems.

What You’ll Need

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Engineering, Machine Learning, or a related technical field; equivalent professional experience will also be considered.
• 7+ years of professional experience in software engineering, backend engineering, platform engineering, DevOps, MLOps, cloud engineering, or a related discipline, including experience supporting production systems.
• Strong proficiency in Python and experience building maintainable services, APIs, internal tools, jobs, or workflow automation in production environments.
• Experience designing, deploying, and supporting cloud‑based applications in AWS environments.
