What You’ll Be Doing:
Core Responsibilities
- Design and build the adaptor layer between AI service engines and the enterprise service bus, including construction and handling of FHIR PAS (Prior Authorization Support) payloads.
- Build a new synchronous service engine for real-time AI workloads (e.g., letter generation), adapting the architecture of the existing asynchronous Triage engine.
- Build, deploy, and operate LLM-based agents on the service engines; own the mechanics of getting an agent from configuration to production.
- Support and maintain the existing production Triage services: bug fixes, dependency and model upgrades, releases, and operational health.
- Integrate LLM and generative AI services (Azure OpenAI and related) into production business workflows.
- Implement CI/CD, automated testing, monitoring, and observability for AI services; contribute to dashboards and alerting.
- Work within the team's architecture standards and review gates; document what you build so others can run it.
- Handle clinical data (including PHI) according to organizational security, privacy, and compliance requirements.
Minimum Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent experience.
- 3–5+ years of software engineering experience.
- Strong Python; experience with at least one other modern language (TypeScript, C#, Java, or Go).
- Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs and microservices, including message-driven / service-bus integration patterns.
- Experience integrating LLM APIs (e.g., Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, Anthropic) into applications.
- Experience working in Agile development environments with code review, testing, and CI/CD.
Preferred Requirements
- FHIR experience — especially prior-authorization workflows (PAS implementation guide, X12 278 crosswalk) or other healthcare interoperability (HL7v2, CDA).
- Experience with agentic AI frameworks and patterns (e.g., pydantic-ai, LangGraph, or similar) and structured-output LLM development.
- Experience with LLM observability and telemetry (OpenTelemetry-based tracing; Logfire or similar).
- Azure cloud experience (Azure AI services, Azure SQL, containerized deployment).
- Docker/Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code practices.
- Healthcare, payer, or other regulated-domain engineering experience.
