Who We Are
We build precision-personalized AI (digital twin, clinical AI assistant) to improve health and wellbeing for health and medical practitioners and their patients. Our platform demands secure, scalable, multi-tenant, white-label architecture with strong observability, privacy and guardrails.

Who You Are
You are a senior tech lead/solutions architect who ships cloud products and production LLM/agent features. You design multi-tenant architectures, secure data pipelines from devices, set SLOs/observability, and apply safety/evals/guardrails to LLM features. You mentor engineers and improve platform reliability. You have exceptional attention to detail and prefer working independently focusing on objectives.

Responsibilities
• Own platform architecture: multi-tenant, white-label, observability, IaC, SLOs and platform reliability.
• Turn LLM/agent capabilities into shipped features: RAG, agents, evals, caching and safety/guardrails.
• Design secure data pipelines (wearables → insights), privacy-by-design, and audit readiness.
• Mentor and uplevel engineering teams; produce ADRs, diagrams and production hardening guidance.

Requirements

Must-have qualifications
• 8+ years building cloud products with 3+ years as Tech Lead/Architect and LLMs/agents in production.
• Strong system design, APIs, MLOps/CI-CD, security and observability experience.
• Demonstrable architecture artifacts (diagrams, ADRs) and experience hardening LLM features for production.

Nice-to-have
• Experience in healthtech, regulated data, voice agents or vector DB architectures.
• Experience with digital twin concepts or clinical AI workflows.

Benefits

Compensation & performance bonuses
Retainer: USD $1500 - $2,500 per month (adjustable by seniority and scope).
Performance Incentive: Annual bonus for consistent KPI over-performance

Payment & contractor terms
Independent Contractor status only. Payment in USD via Wise or bank direct deposit. Monthly retainer invoicing.

How to apply
• Share two architecture diagrams and a 1–2 page ADR from past work plus a short Loom explaining an LLM feature you hardened for production.
• Self-schedule an 16-minute prescreen AI one-way video interview
• Complete a 3rd-party personality profile
• If shortlisted, a relevant test task will be assigned
• If successful, hiring manager interview within 24–48 hours — offers same day for top candidates
• Rapid interviews and fast engagement for top candidates

Closing note
This is a senior role for engineers who design safe, scalable applied-AI platforms — strong architecture artifacts required.
