About the role

The next generation of behavioral health will be built on agentic AI — systems that don't just predict or summarize, but act: scheduling, coordinating care, drafting clinical documentation, surfacing risk, and orchestrating the hundreds of micro-decisions that today consume clinician and operator time.

Charlie Health's ambition is to build the most advanced agentic systems in healthcare. We are investing in a multi-agent architecture grounded in a real-time clinical signal graph, governed by HIPAA-native infrastructure, and deployed against measurable patient outcomes in a national virtual IOP.

We are hiring a Senior Principal AI Engineer to lead the design, development, and deployment of these systems across our platform. This is a hands-on technical leadership role with deep cross-functional reach into Engineering, Product, Data, Clinical, and executive leadership.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the technical owner of agentic AI at Charlie Health, from architecture and model strategy through production deployment and ongoing reliability.
• Lead the development of clinical operations agents that handle scheduling, intake, insurance verification, referral triage, and care coordination, replacing brittle human handoffs with auditable, supervised AI workflows.
• Lead the development of clinician copilots for real-time documentation, risk surfacing, and treatment-plan support, integrated with our EHR and clinical data platform.
• Define and build the agentic substrate: eval frameworks, observability, guardrails, tool registries, prompt and policy versioning, PHI-safe logging, and simulation environments.
• Own the model strategy across frontier models, fine-tunes, distilled specialists, and classic ML, and articulate it clearly to executive and clinical leadership.
• Partner with Product, Clinical, and Data teams to identify high-leverage opportunities for AI across patient and operational experiences.
• Establish best practices around AI reliability, safety, evaluation, and explainability in a regulated clinical environment.
• Mentor engineers and data scientists across the organization and help foster a strong culture of technical excellence and responsible AI innovation.

What you'll work with

• An executive team that has committed to an AI-native operating model and is funding it.
• An AI Guild of senior engineers, data scientists, and clinical operators piloting AI across the company today.
• A modern data foundation including Snowflake, dbt, pgvector, and an emerging Intelligence Layer that exposes patient and operational signals as first-class events.
• Live workstreams in clinical documentation, referral-source conversion modeling, scheduling intelligence, and clinician productivity.
• A national virtual IOP serving patients across 41 states, with the regulated data and outcome signal needed to train, evaluate, and improve real systems.

Why this role is hard

Behavioral health is one of the most demanding applied-AI environments. Patients are often in acute distress. The regulatory surface spans HIPAA, state-by-state telehealth and licensure law, and rising FDA scrutiny of clinical decision support. AI systems in this environment must be observable, reversible, and defensible to clinicians, to regulators, and to internal review.

We are looking for an engineer who finds those constraints clarifying rather than limiting.

Requirements

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with several recent years focused on LLM- or ML-powered systems in production.
• Hands-on experience designing and operating agentic systems, including tool use, planning, multi-agent orchestration, eval design, and failure-mode analysis.
• Track record of owning a complex technical initiative end-to-end, including evaluation infrastructure, observability, on-call, and regulatory or compliance review.
• Strong communication skills and comfort operating across registers, from executive strategy conversations to engineering code review.
• Genuine interest in healthcare and in applying AI responsibly in a regulated, high-stakes domain.
• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Able to work a hybrid schedule of 4 days/week in our NYC office and located within 75 minutes' commuting distance of the office

About the Role

As the Director, Data & Analytics Engineering, you will lead a team of Data and Analytics Engineers building the data foundation of the Charlie Health Operating Model, an AI-first model where the warehouse is no longer a passive reporting layer, but the substrate of our World  Model: a continuously updated, causal representation of every patient, provider, payor, and operational signal in our ecosystem.

You will own the pipelines, schemas, and storage systems that fuel both human and machine consumers, powering our 1,600+ dbt models, our real-time Intelligence Layer, and the agentic systems composing interventions on top of it. You will push us beyond Snowflake batch cycles into event-driven signal graphs that detect drift the moment a cohort's trajectory diverges from baseline, and you will architect the semantic retrieval surfaces that make our long-form clinical and operational artifacts AI-ready.

This is a hands-on, Player-Coach leadership role. You will set the technical vision, run sprint ceremonies and roadmap planning, mentor ICs and a Data Engineering Manager, support DRIs running cross-cutting 90-day missions, and stay close enough to the code to make sharp architectural calls and unblock the team. You will partner with leaders across ML, Data Science, BizOps, Product, and Engineering and own the shape of the data model architecture that the next decade of Charlie Health is built on.

We're a team of passionate, forward-thinking professionals eager to take on the behavioral health crisis and play a formative role in providing life-saving solutions. If you're inspired by our mission and energized by the idea that the distance between identifying an operational friction and shipping a clinical intervention should be measured in days rather than months, apply today.
